Havendock News

While some of these aren't available in the demo, I thought I'd show a sneak peek of some of the buildings that will be available in the full version!

A new experimental technology has been discovered...



Houses were also made more varied in a previous update.



Optimizations had also been made to the characters UI. If you had 50 settlers or more, it would get laggy to open the UI but this update should take care of that!



As I did not share the previous update changelog, here's the v0.47 changelog for history:

Features:

- Added Cranes, a new automation facility (Paid version only)
- Fixed lag when opening characters UI when you have many characters
- Slight optimizations for maps with many buildings and settlers/bots
- House appearances now have slight variations
- You can now view leaderboards without signing in

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed another error preventing uploading to cloud
- Added missing wizard trait icon

Hi, I’m Ying Zhi (you can call me YYZ!) and I’m the creator of Havendock. It’s a colony management sim where things escalate quickly: you start as a lone castaway, and building a high-tech society while attracting other survivors.

For the past few months I’ve been developing a water world of wacky ideas and clever inventions. Now you can try out some of them and play the Alpha Demo during Steam Next Fest.
You can even play it with your friends! Although please keep in mind that co-op mode is rough now, and you may face some critical bugs there.

As a solo developer, I’m immensely grateful for everyone playing Havendock and your feedback.
In the demo you’ll find a brief questionnaire where I’d love for you to share your honest thoughts about my game!



The Alpha Demo is just a preview, and there’s more coming soon!

Want to see something in the game? Just tell me on Discord! Feel free to go on there and tell me what you think of the game, or just to have a casual chat! :)



Havendock is in open development – in the coming months I’ll be inviting our Discord community to the Open Development Beta with more content and frequent updates.

And finally, if you like the game, don’t forget to follow and wishlist it on Steam. It means a lot, and you’ll be notified when Early Access officially starts – around Q1 2023!
