This is the game i was searching for such a long time looks really good too :)

[@Motion1Vfx]

Looks really good!

[@Gravo-wwww]

The game is coming along nicely! Though i think steering the boat should be in first person because sudden 3rd person would pull most people out of the emersion of the game

[@magicpiegames]

Thank you! Yes, I agree, and we are working on adding a first person view from the boat

[@decoyminoy]

Very nice! Are you using Lumen for the lighting? Or something more performant for the steam deck

[@magicpiegames]

Thanks! We'll see how much Lumen affects Steam Deck's performance, but we'll probably have a special graphical setting for the deck which turnes down many features

[@GameServerHelp]

Interesting, I love a good survival game. Please let this be survival.

[@magicpiegames]

You came to the right place!

Looks good and the sound seem to be on point. I like that boats are a thing in the game now as well. Will we have a way of fast travel in the game? I don't know if the world is big enough to warrant a fast travel system but I am curious. Maybe too early to tell.

[@magicpiegames]

Thank you! No, we're not planning fast travel atm since the world will be unique for every player (unless you use the same seed). The only way for fast travel I see is to allow player to travel between their camps which can be placed anywhere, but we're not sure yet whether it'll be feasible for the gameplay

[@zwippie92]

@@magicpiegames Oh, so you can make multiple camps? Or are there small camps and then the main camp/base?

[@magicpiegames]

@@zwippie92there will be a main base where you spawn at the beginning of the game, but we don’t expect players to hang around the staring area for long because of an endless procedural world. You would be able to install campfires and create small camps with it as you move through the world

This is looking amazing! Will it have Mac support?

[@magicpiegames]

we're not planning Mac support, at least now! Thank you!
