Grimtale Island
MEDIUM ISLAND (SCREENSHOT)
MEDIUM SIZED ISLAND (SCREENSHOTS COMING SOON)
I have been working hard on the medium sized island! Change of plan.... you will not be able to select what island you want to spawn on. All islands will be accessible via the raft. This is to create a feeling of achievement and so you as players can set yourself goals! The island you have been playing on will be the starting island so you can get familiar with how the game works and work your way towards being able to set sail to the bigger (more dangerous islands).
HOTFIX RELEASED
* Boats that spawn loot on the islands beach no longer stop you from picking up
the loot inside.
UPDATE LIVE (RAFT,OPTIMISATION,UI POLISH)
This update is pretty small but here it is....
* New Buildable (Raft) - this is the basic implimentation of the raft and will be
majorly expanded upon as development goes on.
* Overall optimisation to the game for lower end Harware
* All UI and Hud have had polish.

MONTHLY UPDATES
I have decided to do monthly updates instead of weekly, this may sound like bad news but i think it will be better..
Monthly updates will bring way more content to the game in the long run meaning instead of spending time testing builds each week i can work on adding more to the game. currently i will work non stop all day everyday and this is very hard with a wife a children so with monthly updates i can work normal hours and still have twice the ammount of work done each month.
i hope you all can understand but i promise it will be better in the long run, to put it all into perspective on how much new content each monthly update will contain.... im looking to leave early access in january! (game will still be supported after that time)
thank you all
