Update v1.8.3.0

Update 1.8.3.0!



Hey there, adventurers! We're excited to bring you a new update that introduces a few small additions and fixes some bigger bugs while we chip away at the next major additions to the game!

Most notably here are new building pieces for the architect table that should let you take your structures to a whole new level!

And probably one of the longest requested features of the game, placeable signs! These are crafted from the carpentry bench at a very low level and only take 10 oak planks. They come in two versions; a standard sign and a wall sign. You can place these ANYWHERE in the world!

Thanks for your continued support! <3

Development Digest November

Happy Friday, Friends!

We've been loving all the posts in our Discord about the new zone! It's been so nice seeing the reactions and questions and new people talking.

We've had a LOT of reports about the boar companion and Necromancer Trinket. The boars and skellies just spawn and chill. The good news is we fixed the boar! The bad news is the Necromancer Trinket now spawns boars..... at least we know how to fix that though! We'll get that updated later this month along with a few other bug fixes and surprises.

We've also been working on the Delver's Pass Phase 2 content. Our Ravari are getting more content as well as some new NPC's you've yet to meet. Our other priority is our loading times. We're playing with a few different ways to load up the game so it doesn't take as long or lose connection with Steam. We're seeing good results with our testing team, but still have more to do with it.

In other news, let me know what you think is going on here:






Thank for your support,
