No Time News

Hello fellow players :D

I am still working hard on act 3 but that did not stop me from giving you a nice content update to make the wait worth it.



The main goal of this update was about anything prior to 1850. There are two currencies now.

Shillings and Dollars. Shillings will be used prior to 1850 and after that time you will find a bank in Pine Lake to change your currency :)



Secondly there is a lot more variation in wild life now. Certain animals may flee from or hunt other species. Chasers run from wolves for example. Wolves hunt sheep and so on.

They warn you before you approach them.









You can hunt and sell their skins at the local hunter. Or buy some raw meat from him :D






This should be all for now. Let me know if you found the secret pirate base ^^


I will post the full changelog below as always.

Cheers and God bless.

Hello fellow players :D

I am back from vacation. I have been working a bit on the game anyway.

Mostly on the third act which is slowly progressing towards its end.







A few new locations like an unfinished honey farm and a lighthouse have been added. Check them out!



The ending will consist of 3 major segments which will take a lot of work.

I have not gotten into it yet, but I hope I will finish ACT 3 the latest by april.

After that will come the revamp and polishes for a month or two and it would be up for you to play! :D



The Mr. Crafty has received an overhaul, the items are now finally segmented into the 4 sub categories and a few smaller things like a crafting sound and new recipes for act 3 have been added (so not for you to try out yet ^^)

I included the prohibition lately after a player suggested it, talk to the citizens once there.

A major improvement for the car handling has arrived. Hope you will find it easier to drive now ^^ on as side node... i don't know how this happened xD



There have been a lot of smaller improvements or additions :))

There are also hotkeys for some of the cars systems!

As always you will get the full changelog below!
Work on Act III is progressing well and is probably 68% done!
After that, there will be of course some side stories to keep you entertained.
Not to forget that there is going to be a span of a month or two of no content updates or fixes, since the major revamp for Act I & II will happen during that time.

If some of you would want to continue playing the old version after the revamp, I will create a Legacy Branch in the future for these players.



Anyway Cheers and God bless :D

I am mostly working on ACT III right now... I wonder what this image may be about.

Well you will find out once it is released.



Given that it may take some time, till you will see Act III, I thought I would give you a general timeline. So you know roughly when to expect what.

Hello fellow players :D
Important updates ahead! I am publishing this announcement ahead for anyone to read. So you don't wonder why the quest log will not trigger by pressing Q ^^'

The QUESTLOG is now available for usage inside the car! Awesome! About time ...I know.
This means though that a few controls had to change, as Q and E is used by the Car Control as well. First and Foremost the log does now trigger by hitting TAB



Secondly, switching between Steering and Free Look Mode in Hover mode, is now toggled via Shift.



One more noteworthy addition is interior baked lighting. This is for most interior settings now.




Hope you have a good start into the new decade. The update will follow a few hours for now.
