Steam next fest, story elements, new buildings and more...
Can't wait any longer to try Under A New Sun? Great news survivors! The game will participate in the Steam next fest from October 9th to 16th, 2023. Anybody can try out the demo during the event and, of course, give feedback for improvements, bugs or ideas to make the best possible game. The early access release is planned to take place very soon after the fest.
Furthermore, the game received its first elements and hints that will tell the story of Under A New Sun and its characters. These elements will be extended and further developed over time in the game's early access state. And, to capture the mood even a little more, you can find some unique items that are scattered all over the world!
If you ever find yourself clueless in game, e.g. how to sail or how to use the workstations properly, there will now be the option to open a 'Help' menu when the game is paused. It contains some basic but very helpful information about game mechanics and more.
Additional notes:
- The base-building system got extended by new pieces and a complete second tier variant, made out of bricks.
- Food will spoil over time and there is a possibility to receive food poisoning when eating raw or spoiled food.
- Some animals will poison you when encountered. The poison status can be stacked to a second level when bitten twice. Keep that in mind as it will drain your health pretty quickly!
- The weather system was updated to make the environment look more cloudy, wet and saturated while it is raining.
- Implemented coordinates and a compass shown on the player's watch.
- Added a toolrack to store and quickly access tools.
Stay tuned!
