Greetings Survivors!

We appreciate your patience as we completed the transition between seasons! We are excited to announce that Season 6 is now available and patch 1.1 is now available to download!

With the release of Season 6, there have been massive changes to the way base raiding and looting works. All weapons now have a specific weapon level assign which will determine the damage output for each gun. The higher the weapon level, the more base damage it is capable of doing! For raiding, we have also introduced a stability system to allow for easier raiding along with other balancing.

There's so much to talk about, for this season and we have a ton more to come. Be sure to check out the patch notes below for all of the changes that have been made for the start of the new season.

For Season 6, please be sure that if you encounter any bugs that they are immediately reported to staff via the following link - https://forms.gle/zNQ8VhjH7LvvaMt17. For all bug reports, please ensure you are providing video, screenshots, and steps to reproduce the bug so that our team can quickly reproduce and fix it. Do not spread information regarding bugs you encounter as we want to fix any bugs that might be abused to ensure that everyone is playing fair.

As always, thank you for your support and feel free to reach out to our team via our official discord at https://discord.gg/xera.

1.4 is out now. This update adds animals.

• There are four species including the Crownfish (grazing fish), Barratuna (predatory fish), Buffalope (grazing land mammal), and Liger (predatory land mammal).
  
• The first three species are fictional but Ligers are actually real.

Ecology

• Plants provide food for the herbivores.
  
• Carnivores eat the herbivores.
  
• An abundance of food can cause a population boom. Overpopulation can result in starvation and mass dieoffs.

DNA and evolution

• Every animal has a “genome” (a list of 7 properties including size, speed, and color).
  
• All automatically-spawned animals (the ones that appear around the edges of the map) have a default genome. Animals born from sexual reproduction inherit the genes of their parents along with random changes (mutations).
  
• Certain genome values (like size and mate frequency) affect the ability of the animal to survive and to pass on its genes. This allows for a simple representation of natural selection to take place. For example, a fish might be born smaller and faster than its relatives and then survive to create a new population of fish that are better suited to their environment.
  
• Animal color is purely cosmetic. It is passed on genetically but it doesn’t affect the animal’s ability to survive. It’s just an indicator to help the player visualize genetic changes in a population.

Human-animal interaction

• Animals generally avoid humans, the one exception being starving carnivores (who will hunt humans and even cannibalize their own species).
  
• Humans don’t actively hunt animals. They will attack any animal they randomly come across and Gatherers will harvest the meat if they kill it, but this doesn’t happen too often since animals run from them.

Animals are better optimized for game speed than humans are.

There is a new tab on the main menu devoted to animals. You can change settings like spawn rate and mutation chance as well as spawn animals with a custom genome.

Hello fellow Badasses and Wannabe Badasses,

It's been a very quiet time here in the kingdom, and I wanted to explain what's going on right now.

Short of it, it had been over one real week since I've started attempting to have the build of my game go live on the Steam Store Page. Around the middle of May, there was a bit of back-and-forth between me and Steam's representatives. Nothing too overwhelming, just asking about one or two particular features, and I provided instruction on how to see what I was talking about. Then, things on their end went quiet.

After waiting one real week, I gave a friendly nudge on May 23, and a response came in the next day on the 24th. Short of it, they told me to just keep being patient. And I replied that I shall, albeit while also keeping communication ongoing on my end, particularly for the single-digit audience who has shown genuine interest with my prospective project right here.

I also promised to myself that, to ensure Steam and myself would be on the same page, that there would be no further changes to game development until either my game goes live, or the effort proves futile. Because everything has been on ice from all this waiting, that is why this particular entry does not count as a "Dev Diary". It is also an example for one of those circumstances which can make productivity slower.

Other than that, I will be doing everything I can to keep the spirit of awesomeness alive on my end.

In addition, the store page should have links to Youtube and my ALL-NSFW Discord server, plus when I get done making this news update live, I'll be trying to add Twitter to that as well, so you can see some of my more controversial opinions about world events, as well as my perusing of cute cartoon characters, all in addition to the Abridged Dev Diary that comes out (ideally) every weekend. I'm afraid that for now, it's a package deal, so you get either all of that or none - depending on whether or not you choose to follow me there. Maybe I'll devise a separate "official" Twitter account from a "personal" one if this builds momentum, but for now, that's how it's going to be.

Through whichever channel you prefer, you are enthusiastically encouraged and invited to write or speak to me!

If the cover image seems a bit weird, or stretched, that's because my scale of drawing does not always account for the extremely precise and specific dimension requirements for formatting on Steam. And part of that is me just learning how things work. Here's hoping that will improve some in the future. If not, we'll figure out how to make the best of it.

As far as the personal sphere goes, I do operate in Maryland, USA, so if you somehow notice that this post goes out at weird hours, you can dispel your odd conspiracy theories of me being overseas; right now I'm simply nocturnal, and it's almost midnight my time while writing this. Transparency is key!

Semper Bellum!
Jay
