As I havent made an official announcement in awhile of the updates over the last month, I thought I would put out an overview of whats been happening from our most recent updates

Extensive map work- this seams to be a never ending endeavor as I continue to grow with new islands, caverns and ruins to explore and a continued cleanup on the existing ones.

New effects- added to every facet of game play, bringing some much needed to polish and life to the game.

River system- opening a new way for deep exploration by canoe

Fishing- a newly added AI and a much more visual and real experience landing the big one or just feeding yourself

Faster ocean travel and a more precise naval ai to combat with. A much tougher foe that drop loot crates now.

and many suggestions and fixes from our wonderful community, so a big thank you to them, hope you will join us.

If you havent checked us out in awhile, I invite you to stop by and see how far we have come.

Cheers!

Hey Guys, just to give you update on the progress. As you can see from this video I have added a few initially not planned features:

1. Full Body Tracking for the Avatars
2. Facial Expressions for the Avatars
3. Advanced body physics for the Avatars

Because of the new features I will have to delay the update of the demo from initially planned end of August to the first week of September. The new features for the demo update will be:
1. Above mentioned avatar features
2. Faster actions
3. Synchronization between music and actions
4. Ragdoll physics
5. Multiple levels
and more.
