Localization
At launch, the game supports English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. We’ve worked hard to refine the text, though a few minor errors or awkward lines may still appear. If you spot any, please let us know so we can correct them quickly.
We’re also working on Russian and Ukrainian localizations, which are expected to be ready in December.
Combat & Classes
We’ve improved hit detection for ranged weapons and made class abilities feel more impactful. Additional visual effects and updated icons have also been added for better clarity in combat. Your feedback during Early Access will continue to play a key role in shaping these systems.
Faction Management
Faction progression has been expanded with new events and unique NPCs to recruit. As your relationships with them deepen, they’ll offer valuable bonuses that strengthen your settlement and its development.
Early-game Experience
We’ve made the early experience smoother: gathering tools are simpler to obtain and use, guidance is clearer, and the in-game guide is always available to help new players get started comfortably.
Online Co-op
We’ve fixed many of the issues reported during earlier tests. However, online functionality may still encounter technical challenges in some cases. We decided to keep co-op available during Early Access, as we know playing with friends is important to many of you. If you experience any issues, please let us know. Your feedback will be key to improving the online experience.

As a small independent studio, reaching this stage is a major milestone for us. We would like to share a few words with you. view
