Improvements to First-Person View, Weapons, and Animals!

[h2]Hello Community,[/h2][p]I have just released a new update.[/p][p][/p][p]Character:[/p]
  • [p]The first-person view has been overhauled, so there should no longer be any clipping issues where body parts appear cut off or the arms start to fade in and out.[/p]
  • [p]A future update will further improve the movements in the first-person perspective. For a while now, the camera has not been freely movable, which suppresses the wobbling in the first-person view. This change was made based on feedback from the community, who reported feeling dizzy during fast movements.[/p]
  • [p]Overall, the gameplay experience in the first-person perspective should now be more pleasant.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Weapons:[/p]
  • [p]All weapons and items have been realigned to fit better with the character and no longer appear misaligned.[/p]
  • [p]One-handed weapons have also been reworked to enable more realistic hit animations. Previously, some animations when striking would pass through trees or rocks. This has now been fixed, so hits are simulated more realistically.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Animals:[/p]
  • [p]The AI of the animals has been further adjusted and bugs have been fixed. For example, wolves triggered a wrong animation when they started running. Now, animals like hares and chickens react by fleeing when you get too close, instead of just wandering around aimlessly.[/p]
  • [p]Wolves and bears will now flee when you inflict damage on them. After a certain point, they will flee.[/p]
  • [p]There will be another update to fix further animal issues.[/p]
[p][/p][p]General Fixes[/p][p]Various smaller bugs have been fixed to improve the gameplay experience and stability.[/p][p]If you have any questions or feedback, let me know! Thank you for your support and have fun with the game!

A few personal words & feedback welcome!

[h3]Hello Community,[/h3][p]I'd like to address you briefly today, not with an update, but with a few thoughts about the game, its development, and the feedback from the community.[/p][p]Since the beginning of 2021, I've been developing this game as a solo developer with passion, patience, and constant improvement. There are regular updates, on average every two to four weeks, with new content, bug fixes, improvements, and performance optimizations.[/p][p]Community feedback also actively contributes to development, much of which has greatly improved the game. At this point, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed constructively![/p][p][/p][h3]Review & Request to Previous Players[/h3][p]I know there have always been ups and downs over time, and yes, there are decisions I might have made differently in retrospect, but unfortunately, I can't undo. I can only look forward and move on.[/p][p][/p][p]What's going on with the reviews?[/p][p]I've been observing the development of the reviews with mixed feelings for some time, especially because some statements contradict each other.[/p][p]Opinions vary. But I find it difficult to objectively assess the review status.[/p][p]I'm constantly thinking about how I can improve the game without deviating from my core idea. KeepUp Survival is intended to remain a simple survival sandbox base-building game, open and without fixed specifications.[/p][p]There were no fundamental gameplay changes that could significantly impact perception, just improvements: content-wise, visually, and through bug fixes.[/p][p]Since March 2023, however, the review ratio has significantly worsened, and honestly, I can't explain why. Don't get me wrong, it just feels like all the updates have done little to improve the game.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]How do you currently perceive the game?[/p][p]I'm interested in your opinion, honestly: What do you like and dislike? And what do you think about the current review trend?[/p][p]Of course, there are still open areas to improve, such as the first-person mode or visual aspects; I'm aware of that, and I'm working on them. But none of that prevents you from actually playing or restricts important features.[/p][p][/p][h3]Your honest feedback[/h3][p]Some of you may have written your review at a time when the game was in a completely different state.[/p][p]If you like, feel free to take another look; a lot has changed. Maybe your impression is completely different today, maybe not.[/p][p]But: Your honest feedback really helps me.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your time, your interest, and for every piece of feedback that helps move KeepUp Survival forward.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]In Discord you have the possibility to follow the development and ask questions. https://discord.gg/8zyKXj9SDr[/p][p][/p][h3]Follow me on social media![/h3][hr][/hr]

Reworking of the mine, ruins and atmosphere

[h2]Hello Community,[/h2][p]We just released a new update.[/p][p][/p][p]Mine[/p][p]In this update, the mine has been greatly expanded and the atmosphere in the mine has also been adjusted. From now on you also have the possibility to enter the mine behind the big mountain.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Ruin[/p][p]The ruin has been completely redesigned and enlarged, you now have a new entrance, but the atmosphere has also been revised here.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Street lighting[/p][p]In the small village behind the ruins, the streetlights have been removed and lamps have been installed on the houses instead.[/p][p][/p][p]Environment & lighting[/p][p]Small adjustments have also been made here to make the shadows more prominent, the colors are slightly more accentuated and the bloom effect has been slightly reduced.[/p][p][/p][p]Headlamp[/p][p]The brightness has been increased slightly as it was quite dark.[/p][p][/p][p]Loot[/p][p]Due to an incorrectly set loot, one or the other loot opportunity was removed from the level too quickly. For example, an apple lying around. From now on, it remains lying around until you pick it up. However, this only applies to placed loot, things that you drop yourself disappear after a certain time.[/p][p][/p][p]Standing torch[/p][p]The brightness of the standing torch has been increased so that it can provide more light.[/p][p][/p][p]Bootcamp[/p][p]Some changes have also been made here, both visually and in the options for testing items. Superfluous weapons have been removed, you should be able to use the bootcamp for testing to find your way around the game a little better before you start the actual game.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Ocean[/p][p]Apparently the ocean was not displayed correctly for players when they went swimming in the sea. I have made changes here to fix the problem.[/p][p][/p][p]General Fixes[/p][p]Various smaller bugs have been fixed to improve the gameplay experience and stability.[/p][p]If you have any questions or feedback, let me know! Thank you for your support and have fun with the game!
