Survival: Fountain of Youth News

Greetings, Fountain Seekers!

The last days before Christmas are super exciting for everyone and it's the best time for surprises. And this is our surprise for you: we're super pleased to announce that Survival: Fountain of Youth Supporter Pack is OUT NOW and available for purchase!

[h3]WHAT'S INCLUDED?[/h3]
*sounds of wrapping paper tearing*

1. The in-game recipe for Amigo, an ancient leather ball and an eternal source of psychological support for a shipwreck survivor. It bounces off surfaces, glows in the dark, keeps insects away when placed on the ground nearby, and gives a 5% bonus to sleep comfort.

You can also craft several Amigos! They won’t substitute your missing ship crew though.
The recipe will become available for everyone in the Crafting tab ("Other items" category) after purchasing the pack and restarting the game. Amigo is crafted with a liana and two narrow leaves, so you can easily craft another one if you lose it or many of them if you want to populate the whole Island of Hope with Amigos.

2. As if Amigo wasn't awesome enough, we've also got eleven 16th-century ambient tunes from the game for you to enjoy. Listen to them directly on Steam or download the whole soundtrack and embark on an atmospheric journey in search of eternal youth - wherever you are

Not pressing or anything, but our Supporter Pack is available with a 20% discount right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2722240/Survival_Fountain_of_Youth_Supporter_Pack/


We've had a fantastic 2023 and we're really grateful for the support of our amazing community since we launched the game in April. We’d like to express our gratitude to everyone who decides to purchase our Supporter Pack and hope you'll truly enjoy its contents!

Have yourselves a wonderful time over the next couple of weeks! We'll be back with more news in 2024, so stay tuned!

Hello, Fountain Seekers!

Hope you are enjoying your adventures in the Snake region! In the meantime, we’re bringing even more content to keep you there during these long winter evenings. Without further ado, here’s the list of new features and bug fixes coming with patch 1486!


[h3]NEW BOSS[/h3]

The Snake region boss is finally in the game! Yes, one more boss to test your combat skills. Do we want to tell you what it is? Well, this should already be clear from the region naming. So, bring your best equipment and head to the highest point of Silver Island. And yes, there is a special prize for the victory!

[h3]NEW FEATURES[/h3]

• You can now disassemble ships — time to get rid of all that wreckage!
  
• We left a farming skill book in the Buffalo region for all of you hardworking farmers over there. Go searching for it if you want plants on a farm to require less water to grow.
  
• Are you into alchemy? We introduced the 5th-level Alchemy perk: it unlocks the Hemotoxic poison recipe that can be used to craft poisoned weapons. Just in case: those also poison their meat, so keep it in mind.
  
• If you have items with low durability, you’ll now get a special HUD warning in the right part of the screen. Your belt is about to break? Repair it just in time!
  
• We added new ambient music in several places in the Snake region. More immersion is always nice, isn’t it?
  
• New stumps. Even the smallest things matter!
  
• Various 3D content optimization. May the Survival: Fountain of Youth world look even nicer!
