Raft News

Raft is one of my favourite ways to spend an evening with my BFF Tom. We float, we scream at seagulls, we complain about the decor of our ocean-going besdsit. There’s only so much you can do with a shark’s head, and we have dozens of them. We need more stuff, which is what the next update brings. The Renovation Update is a complete overhaul of the decoration system, letting you strip away the shonky walls and craft something more akin to a floating Airbnb.

And what’s that I spy on the horizon? Could it be? Yes! Trailer-ho!

Everything now looks a lot more solid, perhaps a little bit too solid given how sturdy the stairs are, but that might just feel like a nice reward for all the tree chopping and plank fishing you have to do. And you have a further use for all those seagull feathers you end up with: you can make a paint brush to start decorating your skiff in more interesting colours and patterns. Haha, take that you crop eating sky rats. You are now a utility.

Hello Rafters!

In this blog, we will talk about our new DLC which is going live TODAY!
Here are the new features and changes it includes:

[h2]NEW PAINT SYSTEM[/h2]

• Paint now needs time to dry.
  

Seagulls love the smell of wet paint and will attack anything newly painted by licking it!
If you don’t fend for yourself, seagulls will lick the paint away, and you will need to redo the whole thing!



[h2]ADVANCED SEAGULLS[/h2]

• Seagulls attack you instead of your plants.
  

They will be targeting you instead of your potatoes. Not only that, but now they also come with air force tactics and in packs to make your survival harder than ever.



[h2]MINOR CHANGES[/h2]
-Implemented previously unused voice lines for Bruce
-New radio cassette: Seagull Rock
-New building block: 5D foundation
-New Item: Screwdriver
-Language removed: US English
-Language added: Elvish

Let us know what you think of this DLC! ːsteamhappyː

Hello Rafters!

February is coming to an end, sun is starting to show its face again, and it is time for this month’s devblog. February has been full of snow and slippery walks to the grocery store, yet this does not stop us from working on the next chapter! We have our blankets, tea, and the most crucial motivation tools of them all, pet pictures and your support!


(Here is one of our artists, Felicia, and her cat Samus. She also has another cat named Zelda!)



We have made a good deal of progress this month regarding the new destinations and the new features. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to show many sneak peeks of them just yet. What we can show, however, is the attack animations of the new enemy! Oh, and let’s not forget they officially have a name now:

[h2]SCUTTLERS[/h2]

Last week, we asked for your help naming the new enemy and got 4500+ suggestions combined on all our social media. Going through all of them, we picked one of the most suggested names; Scuttlers!
Some other ideas we liked were; Crawlers, Pinchers, and Grublings.

Thanks to all Rafters who shared their ideas with us and helped us with this process.
Here are a few of many “Scuttler” suggestions:



Now, let us show you some more Scuttlers action. One of our artists and also our CEO, André, has been working on the attack animations for these creatures, among other concepts and features. Have a look!



[h2]JUICER[/h2]

Do you remember the juicer concept we shared in DevBlog43 ?
Now we have a finished 3D model of it. Our artists Petter and William have collaborated, bringing this machine to life. William was the name behind the concept art, and Petter worked with the 3D modelling and got the Juicer to its finished form.



[h2]Thanks for another month full of Raft! [/h2]

Before we end our blog for this month, we just want to mention that there is no estimated arrival date for the next chapter yet. We know you are wondering about it, but it is too early for us to say. Don’t worry! We will continue to update you on what we are working on and keep you in the loop.

Thanks for another month of Raft and talk to you again next month.
Have a great weekend, Rafters!
