From Kerzoven to Of Life and Land

Hey Settlers,๐Ÿ‘‹

I am delighted to announce a piece of news that we have been working on for several months now.

The project development name "Circle of Kerzoven" finally is transformed into the new title "Of Life and Land" for the final game! ๐Ÿ˜Š



During development, we looked for a new title several times. We wanted something that better describes the game and is easier to pronounce.
But don't worry, you will still settle the wonderful lands of Kerzoven and of course we still are Team Kerzoven! ๐Ÿ’š

We hope you like our new look! ๐Ÿฅฐ You will see the changes in the next few weeks.๐ŸฆŠ

A lot has happened! Here is a short overview of smaller things like the shrine or bigger things like the filters for temperature, rainfall and more!

A heat map overlay has been added. In the cold winter night, people warm themselves by the fire and in their huts, while some animals seek shelter in the forest or underground. ๐Ÿฅถ


The new wayside shrine - Some people like to retreat to a quiet place for prayer.


We have created over 60 animal variations. Young and old animals are now more visible For example, a family of foxes:
