Check out this awesome video Bandanner made about us! We're so honored to be featured!

We fixed items disappearing from hotbar, some bugs, tweaked solo and adventure play.

This time, I’m splitting this post into parts. In the first part, I want to share the issues you’ve reported that we’ve been working on. In the second part, I’ll talk more about the balance changes. Then something about the future. Ready? Machine fueled up? Great — let’s go!

• Attempted a fix for items disappearing from the hotbar!!!
  
• Reduced GPU usage in the Main Menu to improve performance.
  
• The game now starts with the framerate locked at 60 FPS by default; players can unlock it in the settings.
  
• Added a failsafe to prevent characters from getting stuck after dodging.
  
• Fixed issues with broken storage containers and furnaces not functioning properly.
  
• Improved reliability when loading items into storage chests.
  
• Fixed a bug where berries and other food items could disappear from the hotbar. Further improvements to this issue are coming shortly.
  
• Resolved an issue where save files were not being displayed correctly when using the Turkish language.
  
• Quality settings now also adjust draw distance for more accurate performance scaling.

• Adjusted loot in legendary chests to include greater variety and more rewarding drops.
  
• Decreased the durability of the Miner’s Pickaxe to improve tool progression.
  
• Made zombie attacks less intense for solo players to improve the solo experience.
  
• Lowered the difficulty of zombie attacks in Adventure mode.
  
• The dismantler is now unlocked by default and has reduced material costs, making it easier to access early in the game.

• Improvements to roadblocks and saving the game during the roadblock quest.

Once again — I just have to say it — thank you, Survivors, for all the feedback you've been sending our way! We're doing our best to make sure Survival Machine brings you as much fun and as few issues as possible. We read all of your comments and are working hard on the problems you're encountering. Stay frosty, Survivors!

Dzięki!

Another set of fixes and improvements for the game! One fairly big change is a reworked sun position calculation across multiple frames to reduce amount of shadow "flickering" seen when the position is updated every frame. A completely new cloud rendering system was added as a result of this new sun position change to make sure the shadows continue to look right.

Additions:

• Reworked sun position to only be set every few frames rather than every frame to reduce amount of flickering you may see around the edges of the shadows, especially at lower settings
  
• Reworked cloud shadow rendering to take the new sun positioning into account
  
• Added ability to chop up dead logs to receive scrap wood
  
• Added new input to switch between top-down and third-person perspectives (only with keyboard/mouse, default key: H)
  
• Added smoked fish recipes

Fixes:

• Fixed third-person mode field of view (FOV) being incorrectly zoomed out after the character customization update (v0.10.0)
  
• Fixed wrong terrain height calculation near chunk borders that would cause terrain levelling to creates spikes along these borders
  
• Fixed smoked item tooltips showing "hardening" percentage instead of smoked percentage
  
• Fixed female character dress behavior when walking
  
• Fixed creatures getting into a state where they run around the player without being able to hit them
  
• Fixed potential hang when starting or loading a game with large view distance on MacOS

Performance:

• Removed superfluous texture sampling calls in terrain rendering to increase framerate a small amount

Balance:

• Reduced stamina cost when using shovels

Other changes:

• Increased environmental brightness in various cloudy conditions
  
• Increased sky brightness below the horizon (if on a mountain or hill)

- Tapped Line: Added "You can't have more Callbacks than you current Link value."
- "flat" Data Pool shop, single node option price reduced to 50;
- Cookies(node): Added "[Activation]: Drop 1 Trace.";
- Mnemonics(node): moved to Data and Singleton added;
- Inspirational Quote (node): base version changed to "collect 1 Data, refresh 2 adjacent";
- Telephone Survey and E-mail got "Singleton treatment" (base versions got Singleton, effects are kept the same on both versions);
- Linda: Added: "Pay callbacks instead of Actions to activate Linda if able.";
- some invisible systems changes;
- Golden lotus: not giving Credits on Exit. Pyaout increased to 90;
- after the reboot loot correctly appears at least 1 hex away from the Avatar;
- Mayson now can't spawn an Instant Message under the Avatar;
- Dual-band router+;

• Added the "Show Ability Visual Effects" option to the Graphics tab of the settings window, which allows spell/ability VFX to be turned off.
  
• Added the "Show In-world Combat Text" option to the General tab of the settings window, which allows the combat and buff add/removal text that appears in the 3d view to be disabled.

• The offensive and defensive target windows can now have their settings (such as scale and opacity) edited by holding Ctrl and right clicking on them.

• Fixed an issue where readiness wasn't regenerating during gathering of resources.
  
• Fixed missing collision on a wall piece in Halnir.
  
• Fixed an issue where keys and other items needed to open doors or trigger things in the world would work if the player had the item in the bank. They now need to be in the player's actual inventory.
  
• Fixed issue with weather transitions at night blowing fog color out until the transition completed.

• Miscellaneous technique fixes and minor adjustments.
  
• Removed readiness gains for taking or doing damage and weapon style adjustments to readiness gain. Increased base readiness regen by 3 times.

• Reduced the bonus to Readiness generation for the Sturdy Tactician line to 5, 10 and 15% to be more in line with the latest Readiness changes. This line will not stack with the Cleric's Writ line.

• Players may now undertake Level 1-10 crafting work orders for all professions in the city of Sorhiryth. Work orders are repeatable crafting quests that provide opportunities for crafters to improve their skills, earn money, discover more about different areas and factions, and earn unique crafting schematics. To participate in this content, players should speak to Trademaster Vinzin in the Sorhiryth market. Please note that additional work orders and work order rewards will be added to the game on an ongoing basis in many different areas.

Additional node types will be updated in future updates.

• Added some new night music, added new music in Wild's End, and some music changes in Eastern Plains.

Hey everyone!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been focusing on two big things:
🐞 Fixing several bugs you’ve kindly reported (thank you!)
🌍 Implementing localization in 4 languages: English, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
NB: as an indie team, we’re doing our best to use our limited budget wisely to deliver a solid Early Access version. That’s why (for now) we’re sticking to the languages we can handle internally within our team.

✨ Good news: the improved demo will be available a few days before Steam Next Fest!
It’s a great opportunity to collect feedback and refine the game even more—we want to meet (or exceed!) your expectations. As a small team working part-time while balancing other jobs to keep this dream alive, we truly appreciate your patience. We’re doing our best, and we’re getting closer!

🗓️ So, when’s the launch? We’d love to stick with our original plan, in July. However, we’ll make a final decision based on how things go during and after the Next Fest. We want to be sure we launch at the right moment.

🎮 In May, we’ll focus on:

• Getting the game tested by streamers and content creators,
  
• Polishing the UI,
  
• Fixing everything that needs fixing,
  
• And… 🥁 drumroll, please… implementing the save system! 💾

Thanks so much for your continued support—it’s what keeps us going and improving every single day. 💛
Stay tuned… the best is yet to come!

Attention Fleetbreakers!

Time to assemble your squadron and deploy! Our free demo is online. Get a sneak peek into the Fleetbreakers universe. Grab your keyboard and mouse, or controller and jump into the action.

This Alpha build contains the Prelude and Act 1 of Fleetbreakers, releasing in Early Access later this year. There are no time limits and no two playthroughs will be exactly the same. Play it as many times as you would like.

Also, please join the conversation on our Discord. Community feedback is essential in bringing our vision for Fleetbreakers to life.

Thank you for taking the time to play. We can’t wait to hear what you think.

- The Last Keep Team

We’ve just released a small update for Cash Cleaner with a couple of important fixes.

Hey Beans!

We released a patch today that solved two issues:

Fixed: Among Us 3D players can lose their HUD if they leave the wardrobe before another match starts.

Now you won't be ejected out of gameplay when you're trying to swag up.


Fixed: Kids Web Services (KWS) ID will be displayed during confirmation process.
We're continuing to look into the KWS concerns, so please continue to submit tickets if you're running into issues.

Stay Suspicious!
