Black Forest News

Hi everyone!
If you were thinking about getting the game, now is a great time to do so as we are part of the Steam Spring Sale! From March 14th until the 21st, the game will be on sale for 50% off! Make sure to check out Freedom Games' Steam Spring Sale page to pick up some great games to play.

Get Black Forest here.

• Balance update: All gather tasks on easy and medium difficulty as well as most story levels are now more efficient, which means you get more resources from the forest
  
• Fixed a number of smaller issues that you probably didn't even notice.
  
• Fixed some remaining issues with achievements
  
• Fixed some translation errors
  
• Slightly streamlined the tutorial dialogs.
  
• Reworked backend handling (leaderboards, achievements) to clean up the code.
  

• Fixed: Steam integration should work properly again.
  
• Fixed: Onion field uses correct icon for harvest
  
• Fixed: Some monster flag positions on Refugee Camp
  
• Improved visibility of the "harvest in progress" indicator
  
• Reduced log amount
  
• Updated Unity engine and a few assets
  

For the holidays, here is a fairly big update with interesting new features for you:

• New feature: Map editor - currently only 3 maps for trying it out and pretty incomplete. You can make a village with all the buildings in the game, you can NOT at this time make a playable map (with monsters, etc.) - as I said, incomplete, testing, please post feedback to the forum to let me know if it's worth developing further.
  
• Fixed the village log notice when a building is finished (it was using the wrong text field, now the text says "construction of a cow pen finished" instead of "construction of a Cows finished" and similar)
  
• Fixed: Onion field now available in the tutorial
  
• Fixed: Trapper description no longer misleadingly mentions the watchtower
  
• Fixed: Rephrased "safe slaughter" to "sustainable slaughter"
  
• Fixed: The tutorial "hurry up with the food" dialog should no longer appear if you've already completed that quest
  
• Fixed: Requirements display of locked levels is now correctly aligned
  
• Fixed: Buildings built in sandbox mode no longer count towards achievements
  
• Fixed: Graveyard orientation in Refugee Camp map
  
• Visual improvement: Buildings now clear grass and bushes around their location when placed
  
• Watchtowers now show their spotting distance when you build them
  
• Watchtowers have slightly reduced spotting distances now that it's easy to place them correctly
  
• Increased visibility of the bear fireflies
  
• Game will no longer advise you to build a steward if the steward building is disabled (as in the first part of the tutorial)
  
• Added autopaths to Friedmarkt, Karenfang and Hellhafen
  
• Added more text variety and proper translation to monster wound and kill events
  
• Added (german) translations to the building descriptions
  
• Fixed art style of level selector images
  
• Increased grass rendering distance on Refugee Camp map
