Necesse News

A quick reminder before the update: When using mods it's a good idea to back up your saves. If you are experiencing problems you can still switch to an older version of the game by going to your Steam library -> Right-click Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the version -> Close the window and you will see it downloading the old version. Note: Older versions may have trouble loading new version saves.

Hey everyone!

The next content update is here! This time we have prepared a trailer showcasing some of the major features and content. You can of course always check out the full patch notes below :)

Enjoy!

Hey everyone!

It has been an eventful month in Necesse as we've started sharing a lot more of our ongoing development on our social media platforms. That's why we decided to make this devlog post, recapping some the stuff we've shared throughout April.

Alright, let's get to it :)

We started the month out by teasing a new weapon coming in our next major update. You can check it out on Youtube here:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We also released our first ever 1.0 live roadmap, you can see it on our steam store page or click the image below:



We've also run a poll on our social media platforms, asking you all which of the major updates from our roadmap you were the most excited about. In the future we'll likely be running some more polls to get feedback from you guys, so be sure to follow one of our social media platforms, if you want to take part in that :)

In fact! We just shared a new poll yesterday, where you, our players, get to vote on a new weapon coming in the next update!



As the graphics update gets closer, we will also have more to share. This month we posted a couple of teasers. A small trailer showcasing some of our new water effects and then a bigger graphics teaser on Youtube, displaying some new features as well! Check them out below:

We're excited to get the next update out and to share more of our work in the future. So stay tuned and thank you for following the development!

Hey everyone!

Thanks to all of you, Necesse has grown a ton since its early access release and so has Fair Games, the studio building it.

I know that many of you have been asking about when 1.0 will be released and what it will contain. Because of that we've made a live roadmap with the features we see as important steps towards this. We will still be looking out for your feedback, so don't hold back on all of those great ideas. We will adapt the roadmap as updates come out.

We can't wait to show you all the cool stuff we have planned!



It's important to mention that 1.0 won't be the end of Necesse updates and content :)

In the future, we will also be sharing more about the upcoming updates. This means we will be posting teasers, running polls, and other random content related to development on a weekly basis.

If you're interested in following the development more closely and interact with the developers, be sure to check out and follow our social media channels below. We have already released the first teaser for a new weapon as a small video.

As always, thank you for the continued support!

While we are working on the next big update, I wanted to push out this small patch with some optimizations and fixes. Since some of them required a new version of the game, we decided to add a random gimmick that will be active on April 1st as well :)

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!
- Fair

Here is the changelog:
Added a small random gimmick that will be active on April 1st.
Optimized settlement job ticking for hauling fuel.
Updated community translations (thank you translators!).
Fixed crafted Orb of Slimes not being tier 1.
Fixed spoil time showing in processing stations with spoiling disabled.
Fixed Mycelium Pickaxe dropped texture being offset.
Fixed island map size being messed up when changing resolution.
Fixed flame and spike traps being able to hit players on other levels.
And a few other smaller fixes.

Thank you for all the feedback on the previous update! This update is a smaller update to address some of that feedback, while also adding a few new features.

The last update required a ton of changes to the base game. We are of course hard at work on the next update, which we expect to come out faster than the last one.



Some of the bigger changes in this update are:

• Added a bunch of lighting options other than the torch.
  
• Increased lighting range for some objects like the fire chalice.
  
• Tools can now be upgraded in the upgrade station and have been added to incursion reward pools.
  
• Deep cave bosses now have higher stats in incursions.
  
• Chests can now no longer be destroyed by explosives while in a settlement.
  
• Items now incinerate at different rates.
  
• A bunch of bug fixes.
  

As usual, you can see the full changelog below.

I will of course keep an eye out for any other issues and feedback! :)

Thanks for playing!
