Progress Report

Here's a quick update on what I've been working on lately. I'm currently wrapping up the testing phase for the next patch. Players can expect the following modifications: The pause menu has been completely overhauled. Audio, Video and Gameplay settings will now be accessible. All settings will also save and load properly. Gameplay settings include: NPC Healthbar indicator toggle NPC Healthbars showing on player proximity toggle Daytime Brightness adjustment levels Night time Brightness adjustment levels Day Length (Real time length of daylight in minutes) 10, 20, 30, 60 Video settings include: Graphics Quality Shadow Quality Anti-Aliasing Quality Post Process Quality Resolution sizes (Additional sizes available upon request) 1920 x 1080 1440 x 900 1366 x 768 1024 x 678 vSync toggle Gamma level adjustments Players now have the option to either quit the application or quit to main menu Audio settings are coming in a later update. Coming soon menu page set as a place holder as of now. Miscellaneous modifications include: NPC spawn locations and rates adjusted Loot drop rates and quantities modified Player inventory base max weight has been increased Small and large backpack additional weight benefits increased Item weights have been modified Tool (wood axes and pickaxes) collection amount rates have been balanced Player fall impact damage/velocity decreased Player death and respawn mechanics have been changed -Players will not drop inventory items on death, instead players will be redirected back to the main menu to either start a new game, load a previous save or rage quit if desired. I was also able to confirm an issue that several players have reported with longer game saves (8+ hours) not being able to load properly. This update should resolve these issues. My current test save has 30+ hours and is loading as intended. I will continue running tests on this and report back with additional findings. I will make this update live as soon as the testing phase has been completed successfully.
