Update #56 - Info and Preparation: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1524630/discussions/0/3106892784341763850/
A new look for Lost Island is planned, also an abandoned city will be added. General fixes and changes are included.
Savegames: There may be an impact on savegames, it may happen that savegames still load the old trees with and could mix with the new look. Whereas the old trees are not there anymore. I'm trying to prevent this, but I can't promise that it will work smoothly and that the new trees won't mix with the old ones. Everything else is not affected.
Also, keep in mind that if there are updates that bring changes to items, for example, the savegames may not recognize this and the user may think that nothing has been changed. It is important to always check this with a new savegame to make sure it is not the savegame.

First of all, a big thank you to my community who shares their ideas, suggestions and bugs with me every day.
And also once again a big thank you to YouTuber @GameEdged who brought KeepUp Survival more into the spotlight. YouTuber @Kage848 has also taken the time to support this game in the form of YouTube videos.
I would like to say that something like this is not a matter of course, and I appreciate it very much. And I am very grateful that I have your support.
Thanks to your support, I also made it to the news page of My-MMO.
General:
With this news I would like to address again some important points. And give you a little insight into the RoadMap. This is not all I show here, and there is still a lot to do. More will emerge over time together with the community, in which direction KeepUp Survival will continue to develop. KeepUp Survival consists mainly of the wishes of the community and will remain so. Of course you have to compromise and you can't fulfill every wish. Some know that I try very hard to answer many requests, many also know that I work alone on my developments. And I hope that you also have understanding for it, if sometimes answers can come too late. I always prefer the forum for support, here I also get notifications.
RoadMap:
Miscellaneous
The complete weather system will be reworked
Enlargement and improvement of Lost Island
Graphical improvements and optimizations
Further improvement of the multiplayer mode
Other means of transportation
Better balancing
More loot
More recipes
More building options
Improved taming system
Better animations
More creatures
More animal species
Animals should be more dynamic
Improve the farm system
Reduce head bobbing in FP
More small Maps
Wishes and suggestions are always welcome.
Provision of MOD's Important: The provision of mods or the intervention in any form in the game remains prohibited to users! MOD's have no priority here and are third priority, as the development of the game always comes first. MOD's are only provided by the publisher (Witte's Studio) for KeepUp Survival.
Some users have asked for MOD's, I was not quite sure, have now also decided to provide some extras as DLC's this way. Ideas and wishes are also welcome. The additional DLC's will be provided free of charge.
This DLC is developed to unlock features that are not common.
Zombie DLC!
With this DLC you have the possibility to play against zombies!
Multiplayer possibly provide in form as DLC!
The reason is that it needs some work, many may not read through the EA description. If I provide the multiplayer as DLC, there is a higher chance that users will read it.
Provision of DLC's. Since the beginning of KeepUp Survival, it was planned to provide small maps and extras in the form of DLC's for free and for a fee. Some see it critically, others are happy about it.
Again, wishes and suggestions are welcome.
