Lawless Lands,
Hey everyone!
This is by far the largest update for Lawless Lands that has been released, and as a matter of fact, it is the largest update that Corrosive Studios has ever released (at once) for a game! I have been working every day for the past week for at least 9-11 hours every day and this is what I have for you.
You will definitely need to start a new game, but it's worth it because it's like a completely new game!
The foraging system comes in this update, tons of new content, lots and lots and lots of polish, and improved mechanics along with player requested changes and quality of life/comfort improvements!
Check out the complete change log below!
