If you do have a bed your file will save, as well, you will have the option to press "H" and teleport back to your home. Add art like paintings or deer heads Add a carpet or rug Add torches for light Sawmill to collect wood And plenty more to come. Let us know if you like this system style.
addedWhat Else?We plan to add Head Hunters to Northern Regime after you have created your first home. They have seen you start to progress and become stronger so they have developed jealousy. They will spawn randomly and try to attack you. This will hopefully create an interesting dynamic and a feeling of uneasiness. Will will hopefully throw in some traps and home defense. Maybe also the ability for bandits to steal or harm your home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QJ597BiY_E&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=NorthernRegime
changedNew Crafting System & UIOur crafting has changed for the better. It is more organized and stylized more efficiently. Crafting items will show up in a list form. You will click the item you want to craft and it will show up in a little crafting box. This crafting box will display the items you need and the quantity it takes to create them. When ready there is now a big button saying "Craft" you can click it and a timer will begin to progress until complete.
