[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello castaways.[/p][p][/p][p]As promised on our previous post, we have completely overhauled the raft storage. While the physics-based one sounds good on paper, the reality is that it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity on both the technical aspect and the user experience. It had technical, gameplay and performance limitations. With this in mind, in addition of player feedback, we decided to create an UI-based storage that does not rely on physics and that can support all objects (weapons, resources, treasures, etc.).[/p][p] [/p][p]The next patch should have the remaining localization included, a small-scale co-op beta (with access rolling out to more players in the coming weeks), mobile storage cart and improved randomized biome math, which will improve performance and open doors for more islands.[/p][p][/p][p]We’d truly appreciate a review if you’re enjoying the update. For those who left negative feedback before, we invite you to give the game another try and check out the latest changes, as our updates has taken shape with player feedback in consideration.[/p][p][/p][p]Warm regards,[/p][p]The project castaway team[/p]
