UnReal World News

The Year of The Dog has begun, and UnReal World is participating in the ongoing Steam Lunar New Year Sale. So feel free to help yourself or your fellow adventurer with the reduced price purchase.

Our last news also concerned sales and seasonal event, and even though the newest UnReal World (opt-into) version 3.50 beta is still in beta phase, it's proven very so very playable that you shouldn't hesitate to update.


Here's how to opt-into 3.50beta:

• Close UnReal World if you happen to be playing it right now.
  
• Right-click UnReal World in your Steam games library and select "Properties".
  
• Select "Betas" tab, and select "3.50 beta" in the dropdown box
  
• Close the dialog, the game updates, and you are now ready to get going with the fresh beta.
  

And here's 3.50 beta changelog. It's the Year of the Dog and ever so suitably we've got dog related additions in this version as well.





I bring these sale news and greetings to you from the North but this time just from a neighbouring country. As we speak, I'm travelling and visiting people and places in Norway. So it's greetings to You - old and new adventurers - from on the road. Welcome aboard, and let there be happy adventures in real and UnReal World.

Winter Sale is going on, so once again it's good time to grab UnReal World for yourself, or gift a friend into the Far North.

As the sale brings in many new adventurers I'll first hereby take moment to say welcome all you new adventurers.

And then, the important things at this very time of the year:



In addition to current default version (3.40) there's also fresh beta version which you can opt-into at will. As the early showstoppers have been found and fixed by now it's highly recommended now. Earlier we had the beta-branch password protected but not anymore for more convenient start.

Here's how to opt-into 3.50beta:

• Close UnReal World if you happen to be playing it right now.
  
• Right-click UnReal World in your Steam games library and select "Properties".
  
• Select "Betas" tab, and select "3.50 beta" in the dropdown box
  
• Close the dialog, the game updates, and you are now ready to get going with the fresh beta.
  

And here's 3.50 beta changelog.




The time has come to say seasons greetings to all of you, from Finland - in case you didn't know. It was the winter solstice yesterday, and now we're slowly heading towards the increasing daylight. And I'll be heading towards the holiday season and wish you all great times whatever you may, or may not be celebrating.

Here's the huge big seasons greetings to each and everyone of you, from the tiny dev and the winter tree. Merry whatever, fellow adventurers!




For those who are new to what the game and the devs are about, let's take a moment to introduce in more personal way. In addition to future game development to follow in 2018, also a trad.archery channel will follow. Both the bows and the code have become equally familiar during the past two decades. As you play you'll find about the latter, and here's how the former is handled by Sami, Creator of UnReal World, as establishing Ugri Archer YouTube channel:
