Big Demo Update + Multiplayer: Everything That Changed

Big Demo Update + Multiplayer: Everything That Changed

Much more solid multiplayer

• Playing as a duo is far more stable: the second player now sees and feels the world exactly like the host.
• Whoever defeats an enemy (or when it dies to a trap) shares XP and quest progress with nearby players.
• Doors and windows open and close for everyone, and chests show the loot outline for both players.
• The second player no longer falls through the map when joining or respawning.
• Chopped trees no longer reappear for players who join later.
• Rejoining a match keeps your attributes, and the attribute (+) button works for everyone.
• Fixed password problems when joining matches, stuck vendors, and sounds that got stuck (like the saw).
• Friendly fire between players: damage to another player is 25%.

Reliable saves and progression

• No more lost items, duplicated objects or autosave failures.
• Food buffs and attributes now survive loading the game.
• Buildings keep their damage after loading, and doors are no longer recreated by mistake.
• When you die, your loot bag shows a yellow beam and a map marker, and keeps your items in the same inventory slots.
• The map keeps the explored fog and icons after respawning.

Combat and enemies

• Reworked night horde: varied enemy groups, bosses drawn on the later nights, and nothing spawning in water.
• There is also a lighter daytime horde.
• Bosses are more reliable, and now summon allies when low on health.
• Bosses no longer hurt each other.
• New sounds: animal and insect voices, missing footsteps, and sounds on boss attacks.
• The clock turns red and pulses during the horde: "Night is theirs!".

Weapons, items and crafting

• You can repair the equipped item, and buildings can also be repaired instantly, for a cost.
• The hotbar remembers the slot of weapons that are used up, broken or thrown, and they return to it when you pick them up.
• Ammo swaps automatically when it runs out, and the F key picks up several arrows at once.
• Armor loses durability, and thrown weapons have a beam so you can find them on the ground.
• Loot items show the highlight outline, and "Loot All" is now more convenient.
• Crafting station upgrades have been fixed.
• New movement speed buff on consumables, like the Energy Drink.
• Vendors restock every day at 3 AM.
• Fixed mining crashes and the apple tree bug.

Performance and visuals

• Better FPS: fixed the performance drop in long sessions.
• Adjustable resolution from 30% to 100%, and graphics settings that no longer revert.
• Lighting in the installed game and missing textures have been fixed.
• Square minimap and compass oriented to the map's north.
• The gamepad works in more menus, and Inspect mode is more polished.

Thank you for playing and for all the feedback!
