异星家园 (XenoHaven) News

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]I’m the developer of XenoHaven, a sandbox survival RPG currently in development. If you’re a fan of sandbox survival experiences, please consider adding the game to your Wishlist—your support really helps us a lot! 💖[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]It’s been about a month since our last dev log update. During this time, besides continuing to optimize the game and fix bugs, we’ve also been working on implementing some new ideas. You can watch the video here , or scroll down for screenshots and details. [/p][p][/p][h2]🕹️ New Feature: Dungeon Exploration[/h2][p]Previously, we talked about the new Demon Servants System, which focused on strengthening your Demon Servants. However, one problem remained: while Demon Servants are powerful, the player character often feels fragile—many times, your Demon Servants are still fighting even after you’re already dead.[/p][p]To address this, we wanted players themselves to grow stronger through progression. That’s why we decided to add dungeon exploration![/p][p]● You can now craft and place staircases to open passages leading underground.[/p][p]● Some regions on the world map may also generate staircases that take you into underground zones of that biome.[/p][p]● Inside dungeons, you can mine resources with your pickaxe, fight monsters for materials, and even challenge dungeon bosses.[/p][p]Defeating bosses rewards you with random-quality accessories that improve your stats or grant special ability effects.[/p][p][/p][h2]💍 Accessory System[/h2][p]Accessories come in two categories: special accessories (1 slot) and general accessories (4 slots).[/p][p]● Special accessories offer unique power boosts.[/p][p]● General accessories include a wide range of buffs and effects.[/p][p]Accessories can be obtained from:[/p][p]● Dungeon boss drops[/p][p]● Treasure chests in the wild[/p][p]● Bio-Lab genetic patches, which can also be equipped in general accessory slots.[/p][p][/p][h2]🌍 New Biomes & Map Updates[/h2][p]Open the map and you’ll notice some changes! We’ve added more biome environments, including:[/p][p]● The eerie and sinister Demon Forest[/p][p]● The desolate and dangerous Volcano biome[/p][p]We also refined the way map tiles represent different features:[/p][p]● Desert tiles with houses indicate a village[/p][p]● Desert tiles with flags indicate bandit/rebel camps[/p][p][/p][h2]🎨 UI Improvements[/h2][p]Some of you may also notice slight changes in the UI. This is an area where we’ve received lots of feedback, and while it’s impossible to satisfy everyone’s preferences, we’ll continue to refine the interface step by step. Please keep sharing your thoughts with us—we really value your input![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for this dev log![/p][p]If you’re interested in XenoHaven, don’t forget to add it to your Wishlist.

[p]Hi everyone! I'm the developer of XenoHaven, a sandbox survival RPG currently in development.[/p][p]Steam page: [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]In our last devlog, we showed how you can “swap heads” for your demon servants by crafting new ones in the Bio Lab. But that’s just the beginning.[/p][p] [/p][p]The Bio Lab can do much more — like creating powerful skill serums using genetic materials collected from various alien creatures. These serums can give your demon servants all kinds of buffs and new abilities to help them survive the world of XenoHaven.[/p][p] [/p][p]🎥 Watch the new devlog video here [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]Just a quick reminder — the second PlayTest for XenoHaven will end on August 3rd![/p][p]If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time. Head to Steam, search XenoHaven, apply for the PlayTest, or simply wishlist the game to stay updated.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]In our last devlog, we shared how players can recruit demon servants in the game.[/p][p]Some of you asked: “Why do their heads keep changing?”[/p][p]Well, that’s not a bug — it’s a feature! Thanks to a breakthrough in gene engineering, your demon servants’ heads are fully customizable! 🧬🧠[/p][p]Want to see how it works in-game? Check out the video for a closer look.[/p][p]More updates on demon servant mechanics and sandbox survival fun coming soon — stay tuned![/p][p][/p][h3]Follow our community to get the latest information![/h3][p]💬Discord: https://discord.gg/p8jHhK7QH2[/p][p]🔗X: https://x.com/XenoHaven01[/p][p]🔗Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/xenohaven.bsky.social[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey pioneers! Our alien-world survival sandbox RPG XenoHaven has officially launched the public Playtest![/p][p][/p][p]You can now head over to Steam, search for XenoHaven, request access to the Playtest, and jump right in.[/p][p](If you joined the first playtest, just update the XenoHaven Playtest version in your Steam Library to access all the latest content.)[/p][p] [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Wishlist the game to stay updated — and get ready to tame, command, and put those demon servants to work. 💪[/p]

[p]Hey Pioneers![/p][p]We're just 2 days away from the second PlayTest of our alien-world sandbox survival game XenoHaven![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]🎥 Want a quick visual tour of what's changed? Check out the video here [/p][p][/p][h3]🌍 From "Too Earth-like" to Truly Alien[/h3][p]After our first PlayTest, we heard a lot of helpful feedback—most of it summed up with one phrase: "It's fine, but nothing stands out."[/p][p]Sure, we had survival, exploration, building, farming, tech progression, gene engineering… but none of these systems felt deep or unique enough to define the game. Also, despite the alien setting, bunnies, boars, and apple trees made players feel like they were still on Earth. That wasn't the vibe we were going for.[/p][p]So we've overhauled it—new terrain, minerals, vegetation, and wildlife to make the world feel truly off-world.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🧪 The Demon Servant System: Grow Your Own Guardian[/h3][p]After internal debates and brainstorming, our team decided to lean hard into creature raising as a core feature—and fully integrate it with the rest of the game systems.[/p][p]That's where the Demon Servants come in.[/p][p]You'll raise and evolve them from scratch. Feed them with crafted rations—each tier unlocked via your tech tree. Customize them through gene lab experiments.[/p][p]Swap heads (literally), modify traits, and create combat-ready creatures with unique skills and personality quirks. They can work at your base, or follow you into the wild as your personal battle companion—think of them as your alien "Guards".[/p][p][/p][h3]🧪 We're still refining the system and will share a deep-dive video soon. In the meantime, join us on July 24th for the second PlayTest and let us know what you think![/h3][p][/p][h3]Follow our community to get the latest information![/h3][p]💬Discord: https://discord.gg/p8jHhK7QH2[/p][p]🔗X: https://x.com/XenoHaven01[/p][p]🔗Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/xenohaven.bsky.social[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
