A new year of ASKA!

[h3]Hey everybody![/h3][p][/p][p]First off, Happy New Year! We're slowly thawing and stepping into 2026 with a renewed appetite for making ASKA bigger and better. After the December Update we took a bit of time off, as 2025 has been a very long and intense year, but not without bearing fruit! We managed to add in a LOT of the stuff we planned, to the point where 2024's ASKA is a completely different game to what you can experience now. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What a year![/h3][p]Lakes, ships, islands, farm animals, regrowing trees, outposts, enemy Vikings, and so many more things which would be impossible to picture ASKA without were added in 2025. [/p][p]And the bugs were never far behind either, but while there's always more work to be done, bug fixing has always been a priority for us, because, hey, we also play ASKA and hate it when stuff doesn't work as intended.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]No rest for the Vikings[/h3][p]And speaking of playing, you Vikings haven't been sitting idle either! Our community has been steadily growing and it seems that we're enjoying more and more tribe leaders as the days go by, so while our villagers anxiously awaited their moments of respite, it's clear as day that our Viking Chieftains will have none of it! And you builders would not be unwise to confidently await new toys to shape your settlements with, as we still have a lot to do![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Lurking among the bug reports[/h3][p]During our little break we've been keeping a close eye on the bugs being reported, and rest assured that we'll be back at it in full force starting Monday the 12th, with big ambitions and a replenished stamina bar, ready to charge into 2026 with all our might and vigor.[/p][p][/p][p]So here's to a new year of you, of us, of ASKA, and of our dear villagers who are always trying their absolute best, in spite of needing hammers, or pickaxes, or leather scraps, or whatever it is they need to do their work.[/p][p]See you soon and may you have a wonderful new year![/p][p][/p][p]Yours bug-fixingly,[/p][h3]Sand Sailor Studio[/h3]
