The swamp is not quite finished, but I think you've been waiting long enough.
I'm looking forward to your feedback!
Due some problems with third-party plugins, this update is a bit delayed. The development of a game cannot always be perfectly planned and unforeseen problems occur.
Patchlog
Added - A pond with harmonious sound and flying particles.
- Frogs - They fleeing from you.
- New item "Small Meat".
- New ground texture "swamp" with a suitable footstep sound.
- 3d cliffs.
Changed - When opening a corpse, a different sound effect appears than in the case of containers.
Fixed - Now, all containers will play a sound if you open it.

First animal and new biome coming soon
I'm currently working on a swamp with a pond, 3d cliffs and new effects. The swamp is a new biome with an unique atmosphere.
The pond is populated with frogs, the first animal of LIN. Frogs are shy and will jump into the pond if you scare them.
Here is a screenshot (not finished):
Palisades, weather icon and item log
Now, you can build palisades, you can see the next weather as an icon and a message appears, if you gather an item.
Patchlog
Added
- New structure "Palisade".
- Weather icon added to see the next weather.
- A message will appear, if you gather an item.
Changed
- It should be less often stormy and the storm duration should be shorter.
Fixed
- There was a problem that the tooltip still displayed even though the inventory was closed. This should no longer happen.
Animated Tools, Charcoal Kiln and Torches!
Welcome to update 0.6.3
Now, you can see all the tools and weapons! In addition, you can now build a charcoal kiln and produce coal!
With the new torch you are no longer bound to your camp at night.
Patchlog
Added
- All tools are now animated!
- New structure "Charcoal Kiln" - produce coal!
- New item "Coal".
- New item "Torch" - The night no longer binds you to your camp.
- New Buff "Light" - Activated when you are in the light (-> Torch) and you are safe from sanity loss. "Light" does not dry you, like a camp fire.
- New Achievement! This will only have players who support LIN since the early access.
Changed
- The flames of the fire are now visible over long distances (no LOD anymore).
- When cutting trees and chopping rocks, the items now appear much better.
- The durability of tools is now rounded to whole numbers.
- The fog has been altered and now adapts to the night.
- The campfire object no longer cast a shadow.
- The build range was doubled.
- Now, the tooltip of items shows you, how good they are as fuel.
Fixed
- The messages in the tree are now translated correctly.
Fish Traps, Shrimps & Interesting Places
Welcome to update 0.6.2!
Now, you can build fish traps and with some luck, you can catch fishes, shrimps and sea weed. To lure animals, you can fill the trap with a bait. Each bait has a certain attraction to fishes and crustaceans.
If you put in reality two traps right next to each other, you will not get twice as many prey. So it is also in LIN! Depending on the durability of the trap and distance to other traps, the trap effectivity is different.
I have begun to design the island individually and will now improve the island with every update. Today, I made a scary discovery on the beach! oO When you are in creepy places, this affects your sanity negatively.
Patch Log
Added - New structure "Fish Trap".
- New item "Shrimp".
- New item "Seaweed".
- Now, there are places, that can disturb the player and lead to a loss of reason.
Changed - In item tooltips, you can read how much the item acts as bait.
- Structures can no longer be built directly at the sea level, there is a 2m wide barrier zone.
- Sanity is now lost 66% less quickly in the night.
- The night now starts 1 hour later and ends 1 hour earlier.
- There is now a place to discover.
- On the island minor changes were made.
Fixed - Due to an error, the length of the night was calculated incorrectly. It now takes as planned 5 minutes (before about 3 minutes).
Update 0.6.1
There was some confusion when searching through trees, because it was not clear that you had to grab the items with [E].
If you have problems with performance, disable SSAA! This is extremely resource intensive!
Restart Steam to get the update.

Release delayed
We have currently a technical problem with mac build.
Perhaps we cannot support macintosh during early access.
