Hey guys sorry for the delay in the update! Updates will start regularly coming out on Mondays and Tuesdays instead of Saturday & Sunday from here on out.

In this weeks update we have re-worked and re-textured all of the animals in the game. Animals were some of the worst looking things in the game in my option and we have made an effort to make that no longer the case :) It is most apparent in the wolves and the bears. (seen below)


Lots of other changes to animals such as animal variants for snow worlds and there being baby versions of all the animals!! Hope you guys enjoy. As always keep the feedback coming, and let us know how we are doing!

The dreaded bug that made survivors poop uncontrollably known as the apoocalypse has been fixed! This weeks update focuses mainly on graphical and game-play fixes. With small things such as survivors only taking what they need when building and crafting to allow for more crafting jobs to happen at the same time in the early game.

A lot of what made it into this weeks update was found by you guys on our Discord Love the feedback and support keep it coming :)

Main features in this weeks update is the addition of pigs rework of jobs and crafting code.
There is a new animal of pigs! The old days of queuing 4 things to be crafted and your survivors making 15 of that item are gone. Survivors are much better at crafting the correct amount of an item when asked. On top of that we have re-worked a lot of the job system for survivors to better prioritize jobs and not forget jobs they have done before.

As you also may of noticed we spent a some time this week re-working some of our branding art in order to prepare for the new Steam Library Beta happening this next week.

As always let us know if you have any feedback on the game on the Steam forums, with a review or on our Discord
