Neolithic Dawn changes
🔥NOW SUPPORTING VIRTUIX OMNI🔥
Strap into your Virtuix Omni VR Treadmill and experience 10,000 BC like never before. Walk, Run, Sprint, and crouch in Real Life using your Virtuix Omni device to see if you really could outrun that grizzly bear or chase down that mammoth. A next level immersive experience!
Steam Achievements Added
18 Steam Achievements have been added for you to unlock and discover! Happy hunting, survivors!
UI Improvements
Menu options like Seated / Standing modes, Snap / Smooth Turn, Graphics Settings, and Localization now stay highlighted once selected to more easily show which has been selected.
Localization Bugs Fixed
Fixed missing localization and improved poor performance caused by a bug in non-standard characters in languages like Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian. Dialogue and menus now display buttery smooth without loosing frames in these languages!
Animal Hood Cosmetics Are Back
Fixed a bug in animal hoods that caused unlocked cosmetics to be lost between sessions. They should all be returned permanently the next time you load into your story mode game!
Talking Animations
Avatar's mouths will now move when the microphone is active both in-game and when viewing yourself in 3rd person from the LIV camera, perfect for making TikToks and YouTube Shorts with your Neolithic Dawn avatar!
Tool Auto-Orientation
Crafted tools like axes now orient in your hand rightside up on first grab and distance grab. No longer will you pull your axe out of your backpack only to find yourself holding it upside down! Double bladed axe? No problem! It will automatically orient with the STRONGER of the two blades rightside up, and you can 2 hand grab to adjust your grip however you like.
[Beta] Facial Expressions
Long press the stats button on your right controller for a surprise beta feature, we added an emoticon wheel to help you express your cave man feelings non-verbally in online multiplayer!
Other Bug Fixes and Improvements
Campfire Hangout Quick Join and Region Selection Fixed, you can now quick join active sessions without needing to be in the same region
Tutorial disappearing / glitching baby bug fixed
Some tutorial steps made more clear, such as needing to press trigger to eat food
Russian Federation Region now available in Campfire Hangout
Key items disappearing / falling through floor and not returning to backpack in co-op fixed
Revisiting previous zones - NPCs now allow in-game traversal without needing to retire or die to switch maps in Story Mode
Fixed bugs in weather system that led to extreme fog in some maps despite not being inside caves, rain in tundra, overwhelming blizzard particles, and ambient audio volume
