Aloha Thrivers!

Our Kickstarter campaign began this week and we couldn’t be more excited and humbled by all the love and support the community has shown us.

We’ve always counted on you to help us create the survival game of our dreams and with your backing we’re one step closer to making that goal a reality. But we’re not quite there yet. We’re counting on you to help spread the word to your friends and family, far and wide. Let’s keep the momentum going and ride this wave all the way to the Lahaina of our dreams...or nightmares depending on which mutant you encounter along the way!

To help celebrate Kickstarter week we thought we’d share some of the work we’ve done improving the horrors of the jungle, some veil travel concepts, and some beautiful shots of the incredible bases that were built by our players since our last update.

The mutants are always ready to feast, just don’t forget to light their bodies on fire or else you’ll be on the menu. We made a number of improvements and fixes to ensure that players have something to fear from the local monster population but also don’t just have a mutant spawn right next to them out of nowhere. Everyone loves a good sneak attack, but it wasn’t a fair fight for some players so we squashed that bug.

We also went ahead and fixed some issues with AI navigation, updated how and where they can spawn in, improved ranged AI, and reduced the length of the Kasha’s ringing noise after a scream to avoid stunning players in real-life. You will notice we fixed an issue with Green Snatchers getting caught in burrow-unburrow loops that must have been awful for their claws, and made some updates to the island’s cannibals (aka neck-brace Annabelles as we like to call them).



The Fracture wiped out civilization and devastated life on the planet but we’ve always planned on letting players rebuild the system in the game and travel between worlds to experience slightly different environments and loot.

Since launching the Kickstarter, we’re working hard to further develop and show off how players will be able to travel between unique worlds. Like we also say, actions in Fractured Veil have consequences, so it's important for us to demonstrate that what players do in the game wouldn’t just affect themselves, their surroundings, and their server anymore, but a whole multiverse of interconnected servers. We’re not nearly there yet, but it’s an exciting time and the early stages of how and what that multiverse travel will be.



Our idea is that each world can have its own culture, ecology, and history eventually. Players will be able to trade between worlds, not just communities, and find realities perfect for playing with their friends and play styles, assuming of course that the whole thing doesn’t come crashing down again. Here’s an exclusive peek at concept art of what it might look like when the veils open up.

Hey everyone,

I noticed several players have issue with the monsters as they found them either flying or berried under the sand. I re-baked the terrain and hopefully this time it works properly.

Thank you all for the great opportunity.

Hala

Hey Panda Peeps!

Imagine a man who anticipates your every need. He does things without being asked. He fulfils desires you didn't even know you had! All that sounds pretty swoonworthy, right? Well, with Ichiban all dressed up in his new butler outfit, you'll be swooning harder than you've ever swooned before. Seriously, you might want to sit down for this.

All you’ve got to do is grab your daily tokens during the LTE to unlock Ichiban's dapper new digs. Then, leave the rest up to him!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Loading a save slot now prompts you to open a zip. You can cancel the prompt if you do not desire to open a zip.

This is coded into Shadowforge so that you can share your files in a zip on a website or to a friend. Shadowforge's files are inside AppData\Local\Shadowforge. A shortcut is to use Win + R and type in %localappdata%\Shadowforge.

The zip will unzip it's files in %localappdata%\Shadowforge which the Shadowforge client is binded to, everything that is unzipped to that folder will be uploaded to the Shadowforge client.

News just in from the Captain’s Log! Deafening crashes heard in the distance of the Beela Seas reveal many big changes to have taken place recently.

DEMON ALTARS
Mysterious altars have been discovered in the Open Sea. Rumour has it that those brave enough to touch them will be blessed (or cursed) with godlike powers...

PIRATE CAMPS & STRONGHOLDS
The barrier of the Beela Sea has broken - and PIRATES have invaded. They used wooden planks to make various sea camps! Only the bravest can take them over and claim this as their own. Once a stronghold has been taken over, stop off at them to repair or upgrade.


CAMP SHOPS
After the pirate ships have been cleaned up in the camps, shops will be opened to the natives of Beela following their surrender. With daily deals and special items for sale, crafters will be able to visit these to buy additional upgrades at a fair price.


PVP ARENA
The people of Beela found that being friendly could not be exchanged for peace, so they accelerated the construction of ‘The Arena’ and regularly held combat activities to screen the design and driving of the most powerful warships in the Beela waters. Feeling brave?


NEW RESOURCES & WEAPONS
New materials were also discovered floating in the seas, including STEEL PARTS and RAPID FIRE WEAPONS! Many thrifty crafters have already started to put these to good use in upgrading their vessels. Here are a few:


IMPROVED USER INTERFACE
Based on feedback from our crafters, the user interface has been redesigned from the ground up. Giving the whole overall look and feel of the menus a more modern and stylish feel.


REPAIRED SAILS
Back by popular demand! We hired the finest captains out there to work on repairing the sails. The team has finally found the perfect balance between difficulty, control and authenticity to the sails technology.


BOSS SHIP
A boss-like enemy has also been sighted by some explorers. Reported to be causing terror and trouble in the Open Sea. More information on this as it becomes available…


Until next time, captains!
Over 'n' out.

First of all a highly requested feature not only by you guys but also internally during testing.

You can now switch seats in the vehicle without getting out!



Took a while to do this feature but it is finally here, so if you are chasing that thief across the map and need to switch seats to get a better shot or maybe want to go high speed charge someone and switch seats to confuse them, now you can!

The default keys for switching keys are F1, F2, F3 and so on depending on the number of seats available. Keep in mind you can switch yo seats you can physically access, so you can't just hop out to the back of the pickup mid drive from the inside.

Note that you will have to rebind the event scoreboard from F1 in order to be able to switch to the driver seat.



Ever walked around the woods, lost for 2 days, thinking to yourself "Man. I'm so hungry I could eat a carcass."

Well guess what buddy, now you can!



On those desolate parts of the map, there is chance to find an old carcass! You can definitely loot it to try and find some food, but we do not guarantee the quality of the meat.



Another POI has hit the scene! Welcome to the town of Rogoznica!









A beautiful coastal location set in the Z3 sector,



Introducing the Admin panel. We have gotten requests from all of the server admins for better and user friendly control of their servers. Well here it is! Currently the option to set and update zones in real time is added but more functions will come to it soon!



The interface is user friendly and allows a lot of options on the fly. You can set the position, size, shape even color of each zone and then set what you want to allow or disallow in it.

There are 3 options for each zone:

• Ignore
  
• Allow
  
• Block

Allow and Block are pretty self explanatory but what is Ignore? Well in a chance you want to create overlapping zones and there is a parameter you want to keep from another zone in the overlap area, you put ignore on that parameter. Otherwise the region that comes first takes priority, or in case of no overlap the parameter just takes default setting.

After you've set the zones and color you press apply and the zone will show up on the map.

  #SpawnItem BP_Weapon_AK47 1 Location "{X=326126.281 Y=442371.063 Z=23629.654|P=326.707153 Y=7.781963 R=0.000000}"

  #SpawnItem BP_Weapon_AK47 1 Location 326021.875 442475.844 23629.650
