We've Updated The Beta!

Hello Everyone!

We've released another update to the beta branch, adding new features and releasing a load of new bug fixes and balance passes. As always we want to thank all of you who have been playing the beta, sending us feedback and bug reports and generally being wonderful! Your support makes a huge difference <3

🆕 New Features

• Difficulty Settings - A new difficulty selection screen has been added to the new game settings. Gameplay options have been reorganized into clearer categories, with Peaceful Mode now located under difficulty settings.

• Naraa Survival UI - Improved the user interface for Naraa's survival needs, offering better visibility of water and food status.

• Gnarl Combat - A new mounted combat encounter lurks at the corruption's edge. The Gnarl is an awakened, aggressive form of the Knot - and unlike its passive cousins, it fights back. You'll need to stay mobile, read its attack patterns, and find the right moment to strike its weak point from horseback. Choosing the right ammo matters. Defeating a Gnarl pushes the corruption back and may yield rare resources. Explorers venturing into higher-intensity corruption zones will find these encounters grow fiercer.
