Necesse News

Hey everyone!

Steam Award nominations are now open, and we would love your support by nominating Necesse for the Better With Friends award!

We hope everyone has enjoyed the 1.0 as much as we've enjoyed reading all your feedback :D
There are still some things to iron out, and we're working on that as well as other improvements.

Necesse has been my life's work, and I am beyond grateful to see so many people enjoying it. The game was built with your feedback and support over several years in early access. Initially, I planned Necesse to be a much smaller game, but your support has allowed me to keep working on and expanding it. Thank you
Even after so many years, I somehow still haven't grown tired of working on it. We've got some stuff cooking for next year as well, and we're obviously still reading all your feedback on how to shape the game going forward. So make sure to share your feedback and leave a review! :)

We hope you have a great thanksgiving!

Until next time
- Fair and the Necesse Team

Small update with a bunch of fixes as well as translation updates. Some of these fixes required a new game version, so if you're running a server, make sure you update that as well. We're also working on a larger update while doing these smaller fixes :)

Changelog:
Optimizes and improves memory allocation significantly on dedicated servers.
Added indicator of the center region when placing down a settlement flag.
Fixed teleporting sometimes not working correctly, especially when the teleport takes a moment to load.
Fixed being tier 2 essence recipes using their own essence to convert as well.
Fixed Turban being unobtainable and not showing properly in item filter lists.
Fixed screenshot tool from the map not working correctly.
Fixed basic crafted gateway tablets not showing correct tier when upgrading.
Fixed Eye of the Void summons not using the available summon slots correctly.
Fixed Ascended Bow attack speed not updating while firing.
Fixed stylist settlers menu sometimes not updating correctly with the settlers current style.
Fixed food generating in random chests in the world starting to go bad before being interacted with.
Fixed a bunch of wrong interactions with some weapons and deep frost set bonus.
Fixed desync issues with Sunlight Champion Gauntlets that sometimes happens.
Fixed settlers pathing outside settlement bounds to do a job inside getting teleported back to the settlement center.
Fixed possible crash when using Void Phasing Staff on dedicated servers.
Fixed Eye of the Void summons not teleporting when too far away.
Fixed using chat sometimes not clearing caret cursor.
Fixed Katana weapons not getting their second swing cooldown reduced by attack speed.
Updated community translations, thank you translators!

If you're running a dedicated server and use the -XX:+UseG1GC launch option, I would recommend also adding -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent. I've also added these options to the dedicated server tool launch scripts.

You can always access older versions by going the game's properties in Steam and under the "Betas" tab.

Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports!
Until next time!

Hey everyone!

We’d like to thank you all for being a part of the amazing Necesse 1.0 launch. I can’t even begin to tell you how exciting it’s been for the whole team to see all of you take on our new content and enjoy it to its fullest :D

We peaked at nearly 30K concurrent players last weekend and since the launch, we’ve had over 400K players try out 1.0! That’s insane!

As we are still bugfixing, hotfixing and just fixing stuff in general. We’re also looking ahead to the future of Necesse and thought we’d share some of our plans with all of you.

Below I’ve linked a brand new Necesse post 1.0 roadmap showcasing some of the features to come in future content updates.

I'll also mention that the exclusive 50% launch discount on Necesse is still live for another week, so if you or your friends are considering buying Necesse, now is the time to do so before the sale disappears.

From everyone here at Fair Games. Thank you so much for being part of an amazing 1.0 launch! We couldn't have done it without you
