[p]Hello everyone,
Over the last few weeks, our main focus has been on finishing the โจ newest update โจ perfectly in time for the Steam Summer Sale. What better way to start your summer than having an adventure in the Wild Woods? ๐โ๐ฎโ๐จโ[/p][p]

[/p][h2]Third Biome โ๏ธ[/h2][p]Last month, we started a Discord thread to collect your ideas for the third biome. You all came up with some great suggestions! Thank you so much! ๐[/p][p]The best part is that some of your ideas match ours perfectly (sometimes they're almost the same) ๐ Seeing this is super helpful for making further decisions. Therefore, we took some of those ideas, combined them, and developed them further. We've even tested some of them in a simplified version ๐ฎ This allows us to experiment with ideas and figure out which ones could actually end up the game and which are great but can't be implemented.[/p][p]One suggestion that we explored further is how the cold could also affect daytime and freeze resources. But how would you survive the cold when it's always there, and how would you gather the resources you need? ๐ฅถโ๏ธ So, the next step was - and still is - developing new game mechanics to help us survive this scenario.[/p][p]Furthermore, we like the idea of using snow as a new interaction point: snowball fights with enemies, snowstorms as a new challenge, Rosie stuck up in the deep snow, and so on ๐จ๏ธ[/p][p]Weโre super excited about everything that could happen in the new biome. And, of course, as soon as anything other than "it's getting cold" is set in stone, you'll be the first to know! ๐ค๐ฅฐ[/p][p]
[/p][h2]Updating to Unity 6 ๐ฅ๏ธ[/h2][p]It's great to have new features and optimizations that help our workflow. On the other hand, such a transfer is very time-consuming and causes new bugs ๐ [/p][p]
