Survival features & Pre-Beta 0.6.3
[h3]Vikings![/h3]
News from the development field:
As said in the previous update, we keep working on survival mechanics for Survival and Battle Royale, while also improving the combat system and overall gameplay.
We added a Test mode so you could try out such new features while we prepare the rest for the mode complexity for the next patches.
In VALHALL we keep the balance between the interesting historical facts about the life of Vikings and comfortable gameplay process.
Do you know where and how the Vikings got ore for iron?
When you find out, you will most likely be a little surprised:):) If you know the correct answer - comments are ready to hear your thoughts!
We will add a Steam award to the first correct and most complex answer!
Let's prepare for a real Viking experience!
[h3]Pre-Beta 0.6.3[/h3]

[h3]Pre-Beta 0.6.3[/h3]
The patch will arrive this week.
[h3]Patch note:[/h3]
- Added the first iteration of the Survival map with a new lighting setup, improved shaders and color correction.
- Added day night cycle.
- Added fall damage and turning character into a falling ragdoll if it's too high.
- Added torch item.
- Added numbers for bars.
- Added hunger system.
- Added thirst system.
- Added a new sprint system.
From now there are two stages of sprinting (fast and faster). You enter the second stage after sprinting normally for a few seconds.
This mechanic is designed to help at long distances on Survival and BR maps without affecting combat.
Moreover, it will have a good effect on the combat experience, because now we can reduce the running speed in the first stage, which will make the battle more active. - Added section of game modes to the main menu.
- Added Test mode.
- Added test watermark.
- Added a small highlight when hovering over an item.
- Fixed Mjolnir missing in Weapon test.
- Fixed the disappearance of a dead body almost immediately after the death of a player.
- Fixed FPS drops caused by character respawn.
[h3]Known issues:[/h3]
- Latency has too big influence on block (VFX could not work as well as block quality is not we are aiming for).
- Pressing of inventory slot during its loading can cause some bugs (invisible weapons, etc.). Temp solution - press any inventory slot again.
- Weapon impulse bugging. Sometimes no impulse or too big.
- Characters don't play movement animations correctly. Only hands move according to animations. We need to fix upperbody bones rotation during movement animations.
- Dual wield weapons were temporarily turned off while we are upgrading inventory.
- Rare crash on Mjolnir drop.
Important! Some bugs can appear due to conflict with temp / saved files of previous VALHALL versions on your PC.
If you meet any unlisted issue then need to:
- uninstall the game through Steam
- delete manually game folder in your Steam folder
- delete all game saves here: C:|Users|*YourName*|AppData|Local|VALHALL.
[h3]The future patches bring:[/h3]
- Survival elements and new features.
- Inventory system upgrades.
- Bringing dual wield back with fixes.
- Gathering and building.
- New characters and equipable armor.
- Bots logic upgrades.
- Other combat improvements and bug fixes.
