As Smalland: Survive the Wilds continues to grow, we want to make the community aware that from Monday (31 July) the base price of the game will be rising by five dollars to $29.99.


This reflects the investment in new content that has been made since our early access launch in March, including two major content updates and ongoing quality of life improvements, and our commitment to producing even more high quality gameplay additions on the way to v1.0.


The game remains discounted as part of the Steam Weekend Deal until 6pm BST (10am PST/1pm EST) on 27 July and will still be available at $24.99 - or your regional equivalent - until Monday.

• Various world fixes (such as that hole by Nok in between the scrap)
  
• Fixed an issue where world hosts would drop faster than other people while gliding
  
• Miscellaneous mesh and material fixes
  
• Fixed a placement collision issue with interactable building parts
  
• Small Ai fixes with creature/enemy pathing and combat
  
• Audio improvements, notably to underground areas

• Colony spiders' exp gain has been changed to 40
  
• Improved the armour rating on the Icarus armour

The creatures are getting stronger Vanguard, can you say the same for yourself?

With the new experience and attributes system, you can!

Whenever you kill, harvest, or complete a key story moment, you will be rewarded with experience points.
Different creatures and resources will reward different amounts of experience.



In turn, this will give you points that can be spent in four areas;

• Strength determines how much damage you deal
  
• Dexterity increases movement speed
  
• Constitution increases base health
  
• Endurance increases base stamina

Player characters have a level cap of 100. You will not need to start a new character to take advantage of this. All existing characters will be designated Level 1 when the the Forbidden Monuments update goes live on Thursday.

More experienced players with more powerful gear and armour will naturally level up faster, so we anticipate all characters will quickly reach the level they would have been at had the levelling system been in place when they were first created.



Though these new levels and attributes aren't just for you! You can level up your tamed creatures to level 10 and increase their stats.

Creatures will spawn in the wild at different levels, so you might even want to search around using antenna mode to find a creature with a desirable baseline of stats before taming so you can get the tankiest or fastest creature you can!



Rest assured, we will be monitoring and refining this system to give you folks a fulfilling and balanced experience.

We're pleased to have partnered up with Makeship to bring Smallfolk's faithful companions to life with our first Ladybug plushie!

Whenever she's not getting lost in rivers or being beaten by ants, this little lady is always by your side!

Get one for yourself! Here https://shop.makeship.com/44wxbzY

The Stinkbug may not be as threatening as a venomous arachnid or as icky as a squirming cockroach, but they're still unpleasant to deal with nonetheless.



As the name would imply, the stinkbug stinks, its main deterrent being the acrid secretions it blasts out. These clouds will linger, ticking away at your health and hanging stagnant in the air around the creature.



But fret not! You can harness that stench for yourself, in the palm of your little hands. Slay these creatures and you can fashion their glands into thowable bombs that poison foes with area of effect damage!

Stay tuned next week for another look at what's coming up in the Forbidden Monuments, as we take a deep dive into the new character and creature levelling system.

Few who venture into the Forbidden Monuments come out alive, and with good reason. This is the nesting place of the Blue Tit bird - a colourful creature you may have seen in your garden, but one that takes on a terrifying new aspect when you're a snack-sized Smallfolk!



This is the new apex predator of Smalland: Survive the Wilds. Watch out for its swooping attacks, devastating pecks and brutal area of effect slam.



This is definitely a top boss tier enemy - but unlike other boss creatures, this is one that can be tamed. And if you can tame it, can you fly on it? Yes, you can! Ride on its back and you'll gain fast 360-degree free roaming flight, completely changing how you navigate the Overland.



Don't expect such a reward to come easily though. You'll have to earn it. A creature of this power will not be swayed by something as simple as bait, No, someone spent months learning how to earn the trust of this feathered titan, so you'd better be ready to compensate them for their knowledge...

The Forbidden Monuments update is levelling up how you and your friends will advance in Smalland: Survive the Wilds.



Located at the North of the map, the Forbidden Monuments is a hallowed place in Smallfolk lore, filled with towering remnants of Giant civilisation. What bizarre rituals did they perform here? What is the meaning of the strange relics strewn on the ground?

Smallfolk scholars have debated this for centuries - but you'll have no time to ponder the answers if you brave this high level area.



Ringed by a fence, with an old dead tree in the centre, the Forbidden Monuments offer the most challenging creatures the game has to offer. Stinkbugs will inflict area-of-effect poison attacks, while territorial Blue Tit birds will swoop down and land devastating attacks from above.

And, if the whispers among the Vanguards are true, those may not be your only threats...



Look to one of the area's landmarks to find the latest NPC to join our cast, a new kind of merchant who will grant you the right to flight in a new story chapter that takes the most skilled Smallfolk in a new direction - up!



We've still got lots more surprises coming in this next update, and we hope you'll give a hoot as we reveal more between now and July 20th!



Stay tuned - in our next news story on Wednesday 12th July, we'll reveal more about the fearsome new bird enemy - a fearsome flying foe that changes the game in more ways than one!

Smalland is getting bigger - again! Following on from the Giant's Fall update, we're thrilled to reveal that the next big content update is now only a few weeks away.

Here's what awaits you later this month...





What bizarre rituals did the giants use these strange structures for? What is the meaning of the peculiar relics buried in the ground? And what perils await any Smallfolk brave enough to explore them?



These boss tier airborne enemies will defend their nests without mercy, and only the best equipped and coordinated Smallfolk teams will emerge victorious from the encounter. What rewards await the hardy warriors who manage this feat? Time will tell...



Defeat this rancid new enemy to make use of its unique glands, unlocking Smalland: Survive the Wilds' first throwable weapon. Use stink grenades to stun enemies from a distance and poison them with AOE damage.



We're particularly excited to announce a major overhaul to player progression which adds new long term routes to customise and enhance how you play. Both wild and tamed creatures will now also come in different sizes and strengths, and tamed creatures can be further improved across key attributes.



The Forbidden Monuments Update arrives on July 20th with all of these features, plus new tools, weapons, armour and another NPC to meet, as well as the usual array of ongoing systems improvements under the hood.

Stay tuned through July for more detailed explanations on how each of these headline additions will work together to make Smalland: Survive the Wilds deeper, more challenging and more rewarding.
