Today is a truly special day as my game is finally released to the world! 🎉 This journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From the very first spark of an idea to the countless hours spent designing, coding, and perfecting every detail, I poured my heart and soul into this project. Every challenge I faced along the way became an opportunity to learn and grow, and every success, no matter how small, felt like a step closer to making this dream a reality.

Reaching the finish line of development is an incredible achievement, but for me, the release is far from the end—it’s just the beginning of something even bigger. I’m excited to continue working on the game, adding new content, expanding its features, and refining the experience to make it even better for all of you. Your feedback will play a huge role in shaping the future of the game, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves as more players dive into this world I’ve created.

For the achievement hunters out there, I’ve got a special challenge waiting for you. One of the achievements in the game is designed to be among the most difficult to earn on Steam! And, as a little twist, I decided to keep the challenge truly mysterious—there’s no picture for the achievement yet. Not because I forgot or anything… okay, maybe I forgot. But hey, just think of it as extra motivation to unlock it and make it stand out in your collection! 😅

To everyone who has supported me along this journey—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement has meant everything to me and kept me motivated during even the toughest moments. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed making it, and I look forward to sharing many more updates and surprises with you in the future. Let’s embark on this new chapter together! 🚀

I promise I’ll add a picture for the achievement later... XD

The story of Permafrost is set in the wake of the cataclysmic ‘shattering', an apocalyptic moon phase phenomenon where humanity finds itself teetering on the brink of extinction as the world succumbs to an eternal deep freeze.

Following the catastrophic events that shattered the moon, fragments of its remains fell to Earth, including a significant moon rock near one of the forest areas. This resource possesses unknown capabilities but has already proven valuable for crafting high-quality, highly durable tools and equipment. Its arrival led to concerns about potential contamination, which, combined with the harsh conditions, prompted the military to abandon their post.

Not to be confused with another valuable resource, coal, the moon rock's mysterious properties and utility have made it a desirable resource in the post-apocalyptic world, inspiring hope but also fear.

### Added
- Added first draft of an "Host" UI in the Inventory in-game. Only hosts can see this for now, but can change various host settings via the UI instead of via console. Not all are there, but I will update it overtime. So its a bit easier to manage being a host now

### Changed
- Changed the map list so it now, at all times, have one map selected. It will default to the first map in the list, which is Town
- Changed the look of an selected map to make it easier to see which one is selected
- Adjusted the colliders of the fire escape stairs in City so you can now actually walk up and down. Also added a metal footstep sound
- Changed the MainMenu background video and background image
- Updated localizations from Crowdin
- Turned down the volume on some footsteps, just a bit, as it felt a little to high sometimes
- Changed the placement of the various buttons in the MainMenu so they are now at the top instead of the bottom. Some players had a hard time finding the buttons at the bottom, so I moved them to the top, lets see if its better

### Fixed
- Fixed scroll speed bug after later Unity and Input system update. Dunno what Unity did, but the scroll speed on ScrollViews got crazy, so I adjusted some values now to it feels more normal again
- Fixed bug where you could join an host with a different game version if you joined via joincode or Steam friend list. Now you cannot and will get an error popup if you try. The reason its important not to be able to do this, is that the game will not work properly is host and clients are not on the exact same version of the game
- Fixed build-in StrobeRockets which have been not working properly since beginning of multiplayer - but they work now :)

There are still a lot of languages that have not fully been translated, if you wanna help out you can do so here: https://crowdin.com/project/fireworks-mania

Hello Voyagers! Michael / Spacenorth here with our BIGGEST announcement yet!

The team has been pouring their hearts (and countless cups of coffee) into preparing for what might be our most exciting milestone yet – we're opening up Voyagers of Nera to more players than ever before! And let me tell you, the game has had an absolutely incredible glow up.

We can’t wait for you to see what lies beneath the waves! Discover mysterious underwater ruins, gather new resources, and experience completely revamped swimming animations that make underwater exploration feel more fluid than ever.

We’ve been playtesting non-stop to make exploring Nera a much more challenging and engaging experience. Look out for more important choices on attrition as you go from surviving on coconuts to cooking specialty dishes. And for those of you who thought you had mastered combat – think again! We've rebalanced the whole combat system to make stat points and new gear feel more impactful and to make the clash with enemies feel more dangerous. And speaking of those creatures...

Our artists have outdone themselves with visual overhauls and polish to our monsters:

• Reef Hobbs now glow hauntingly in the darkness, making nighttime exploration both beautiful and terrifying
  
• The Deepfang Snapper (our underwater terror) has gotten a ton of animation love that… well, let's just say you might think twice about deep-water diving!

And on the friendly side, our spirits have never looked better! Each type of elemental spirit, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water, has a unique look. Find all 8 around the map to unlock their knowledge of ancient crafts, empower your base, and fulfill your duty as protector of Nera!


Ship exploration been a huge focus for us with improved controls and camera work that makes sailing feel more intuitive and immersive than ever. In case you missed it from the last update - awakened spirits can now join you as crew, imbuing your ships with magic for your travels!

Skimming water trails are back and just wait until you see what special gift the Spirit of the Ocean has in store for you! (No spoilers, but you’ll feel the Elder Spirit boosting you across the ocean!)

We've given the map a major overhaul, adding new points of interest and refining existing locations to make exploring the Embrace feel fresh and exciting – even for our veteran players.

That includes discovering new lore stones scattered throughout the world that not only provide valuable knowledge points but also reveal deeper mysteries about what really happened in the world of Nera...

Mark your calendars, because December 4th is going to be HUGE:

• We're revealing our brand new gameplay trailer at the OTK Winter Expo, starting at 12pm Pacific Time. You can watch the live stream on their Twitch at OTKNetwork or their YouTube channel @OTKChannel.
  
• AND launching our first public Steam Demo!

That's right – you'll finally be able to explore Nera with your friends!

This is where we need YOUR help, Voyagers! It helps us out a TON when you:

• Share the news with your communities
  
• Invite your friends to wishlist the game
  
• Get your crews ready for December 4th!

We wouldn't haven’t gotten to this point without your incredible feedback and support throughout development. Every bug report, every creative idea, and every excited message has helped shape Voyagers into what it's becoming.

The waters of Nera are calling, and soon, many more will answer. We absolutely cannot wait to dive in together and hear what you think!

Michael and the Treehouse Team

P.S. Keep an eye on our social channels (@VoyagersOfNera) in the coming days – we might have a few more surprises to share before the big day! 🌊✨
