This game is beautiful until you drop dead of dysentery

An update on the story campaign. Forgot that was gonna be a thing!

Sounds like they basically bit off more than they could chew with early access, and realized they didn't really know what to do anymore and ended up completely revising their plans a few different times. They have a clear plan now, but it's going to be quite a while until they get there and they don't want the sandbox to stagnate in the meantime so they're focusing on both. But they aren't going to give any timelines for it anymore because they can't meet them.

The story mode sounds neat though, and I'm happy they're doing a female character now too for the story mode. That was one of my hopes because Sandbox female voice >>>>>>>>>> Sandbox male voice.

I haven't played this in a really long time but I might give it a try soon. I booted it a few times to try to do a LP but recording would always fuck up building interiors.

All the "old alpha" pictures that they post are pretty much the way the game was when I was still playing (:

Apparently for Halloween the game is doing an experimental event where the game is in eternal night, full of demonic wolves, and other little thematic changes. Sounds fun!

oh man! Apparently this went full releas earlier in the week, with story mode and stuff! I sort of stopped following along on progress for a while, so I didn't know it was coming.

UNFORTUNATELY it sounds like the full release is extremely buggy! There's been 4 patches since release, and the most recent patch notes mention that more are on the way. It's a bit silly considering the game was in alpha for 3 years, but I guess the problems are with the story campaign, which wasn't released in alpha at all.

Still, I might give this a go tonight and see what it's like.

I saw it getting promoted again recently and wondered why

I'm gonna get into it soon finally

Here's the release trailer:


Looks interesting! It's 2 episodes at release, with more coming later on. Not really sure how I feel about the way the style translates to human characters but I do love the style.

Ah, I saw this on my recommended Steam games. Wanted to give it a go potentially.
