We have some news for you again.

As you already know, we are working hard on version 0.6.

There are also preparations running in the background, which you didn't know about yet.

And now the time has come and we can tell you the news.

From version 0.6 there will be more functions and reworking.

This includes a overhaul of the map and the environment, as well as the sky, weather and the day and night cycle will be completely revised.

The playable map will be 18km² instead of 9km², so you can explore more.

Another change concerns the multiplayer. Until now it was possible to create a server via the main menu.

This will still be the case, but it was planned that dedicated server files will only be available through our official hoster for the first time.

We can now inform you that we will make the server files for dedicated servers available to every player.

It is planned to make the serverfiles available already for version 0.6. (Changes are still possible).

The server needs of course a appropriate equipment, we will inform you of the recommended requirements.

These were now the most important changes for version 0.6 - and unfortunately this also has disadvantages.

Unfortunately, we have to postpone the release of 0.6, as this version includes the revision of the map, the creation and optimization of the server files and a few other features.

Currently the team is also not at full strength, which is unfortunately another reason for the delay.

Due to these changes and incidents, we have decided to postpone the release of version 0.6 to December 2021.

This doesn't sound nice at first, but with the news already mentioned, you as a player have a lot more possibilities to experience the game.

That's why we don't want to rush this and use the time to make the game experience even more attractive for you.

Furthermore, we will publish short videos in the future, which will show excerpts of version 0.6.

Here is a summary of all news.

■ new map (18km²)
■ revision of the sky, weather, day and night rhythm
■ public server files
■ release of version 0.6 in December 2021

That should be it for now. This news was also announced earlier today in the livestream on Twitch.

We wish you a good start into the weekend and stay healthy.

On Friday starts at 7pm CEST (central european time) starts our livestream on Twitch will start again.
We will announce new information, show more details of the upcoming
version 0.6, do giveaways and of course answer your questions.
