Dear SoulWorkers,
This is Kyeong-Bae, Park of Superany Studio in Lion Games.

Finally, we can get rid of our thick, woolen winter wear and boring sweaters.
Happy Spring Day to you all!

Hey Drifters!
The Engineer update is here!

With the recent addition of parks and flowers, the current build radius quickly got too small. So, with this patch, we're changing up how building space and town movement works! Previously, a radius defined how close your town can move to landmarks, but now it's now based on your town's actual shape. This means that, if you build your town in the shape of a triangle, you'll be moving a triangle around on the map. If you decide to make a squiggly wave of a town, you can slither inbetween landmarks like a snake. All up to you!

In addition, the max building range has been increased from 50 to 150, allowing you to build 9 times as much as before.

We're still working on the next map updates, forging it into a continuous experience. In the meantime, a Quality of Life: Housing update will add multi-drifter housing and other various improvements.

Enjoy the new update!

• Updated town collision to use the town shape as a collider.
  
• Implemented Physics-based town movement.
  
• Maximum build radius increased from 50 to 150.
