If you've made your way through the Mountain Gate to the final area of the game, please finish this whole section before quitting your save! Quitting the game after entering the final Mountain area of the game, through the large gate from the beginning of the game, can cause progression issues to occur so it's best to finish this section after entering, or save and exit before you enter.

For anyone who is currently experiencing this issue:
The team are working on a fix for this right now that we're aiming to have ready for our next patch! Save data should be restored with this update and you will be able to continue from the start of the Mountain Gate section.

If you have any other questions or are experiencing any other issues please leave them in the comments!
We hope you've been enjoying your adventure in Pine Hearts 💚

It’s been an exciting few months for us with the release of the Last Oasis Modkit and Bellwright. We’ve been thrilled to see the incredible creations from our talented community using the modkit.
Bryan has been diligently improving the modkit to provide you with the tools needed to create your desired experiences. To support this, we’ve decided to merge all current S6 changes into the Modkit branch. While these changes might break some mods, we believe it’s better to address these issues now rather than later.
Please note that these changes are a work in progress. They don’t represent the final state of S6 and many are still prototypes. However, they aim to address significant issues from S5 and offer a better foundation for modding.
Here are some of the key changes:

• Walker Cap: Each walker has a specific amount of "walker power." The total max walker power on each tile can be 100, 200, or 300 based on the clan cap. Walkers stop moving if the walker cap is exceeded.
  
• Crew Cap: Each walker can carry a specific number of clan members. If the max crew size is exceeded, the walker stops moving (automatons count as players too!).
  
• Base Rarity Craftings: These do not require schematics, which can only be obtained on event maps.
  
• New Tech Progression: This system is based on map and level progression. Some items/resources cannot be obtained until the next tier map is available (Cradle > Canyon > Sleeping Giants > Kali Spires).
  
• Improved Grappling Hooks
  
• Decreased Stamina Consumption
  
• Grappling Hook Cooldown: Added cooldown after receiving damage.
  
• Trade Station Packing: Walkers can now be packed inside trade stations by renting personal or clan-shared packing slots.
  
• Reduced Sandstorm Damage
  
• Reduced Rupus Aiming Accuracy
  
• Redesigned Foliage for Each Map Tier
  
• Re-enabled Rarity Merging
  
• Re-enabled Walker Packing
  
• Increased Packing Decay to 14 Days
  
• Ammo damage against each armor type to make them more specialized.
  
• Tool Rebalance: Rarity tiers overlap so that a Rare tool is equal to the Base tool of the next tier.

Today, we also want to start a series of “Modkit Showcases” where we talk directly to creators and share what they’re working on and what they hope to achieve. This week we speak to Xanjis, creator of Oasis Adrift!

Today we speak with Xanjis, developer of the Oasis Adrift modpack. His modpack adds airships, completely changing the way the game is played.




“Ultimately I want the airship system to be an entire parallel progression path to regular walker progression with its own maps, recipes, stations, weapons, and harvesting systems. It would then be up to the player to either focus on walkers, airships, or both at the same time. Realistically being able to fly is always going to be a huge advantage but walkers will always be more durable, have more firepower, carry more players, and there will be no airship versions of the base utility walkers such as the camelop. Additionally there will be tools to even the odds such as the flak ammo and the heavy ballista. Currently the mod is completely playable on the oasis adrift server however its current state is a mere shadow of what I have planned.”





“Fundamentally Last Oasis has a huge amount of core issues, however players tend to be able to see past those problems for the first weeks of a wipe until suddenly they don’t and then the population starts its seasonal decline. In my opinion this is because the players run out of content. Either due to reaching iron tier, waiting for the devs to drop the next tier of map in a season, not having a large enough group to tackle the remaining content (capital walkers, quarry, large utility walkers), or not being able to progress to new content due to endless ganking/zeroing/raiding. Oasis Adrift seeks to massively expand the quantity of content in the game in order to give the player base something to do beyond harassing each other. Additionally it seeks to improve the quality of content by experimenting with types of content that can be more engaging long term such as skilled Rupu AI and AI controlled enemy ships.”

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2659840/ARED_Walking_Robot/

Game will be released at 06-06-2024 !!
Thanks for your interest and support.

The background of the Republic of China, the visual novel "Tide-1927-", was officially released as a DLC production decision!!
The DLC content is a new story that revolves around a series of historical events in the 4 years after 1927, and the protagonists will grow.
The planned script is 15w words and 30 CG sheets.
The scheduled release is scheduled for autumn 2024, and the price has not yet been determined. It will be released at the same time as the canon.
Thank you to everyone who enjoyed this game!!

Indecisive about wishlisting Astrodle? Just play the demo already!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3003440/Astrodle_Demo

Starting now, the demo will serve as an introduction to Astrodle. It's basically the same game, except you are limited in your progression so that you will eventually hit a wall at around 45 to 60 minutes of play time, depending on your play style.

After you are finished playing the demo, your progress will be safe in the Steam Cloud. When the game comes out, you will be able to resume your quest in the main game and finally become the god or goddess you deserve to be!

If you like the demo, you won't have to wait for long! Astrodle will be released just a few days after the June 2024 Steam Next Fest. That's in just under four weeks 🙂


Also there might be a magical waffle in the demo, but that's probably a hoax.
