- Added a larger map that can be pocketed. It can be found at the cottage
- Added autosaving, available after the game exits unexpectedly, autosave can be found in the Load Game menu
- UI changes
- Newly caught fishes should no longer despawn in saves
- Fixed Juha not coming to play cards when asked
- Fixed boat audio not playing correctly when engine gets started while holding a movement button
- Motorized vehicles should no longer reset their fuel in savegames

- Fixed some crashes related to custom songs introduced in the previous update.
How to use? Go to %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/FCS/Saved and create a Songs folder. Put the songs in there. They should now be available in the radio, requires restart.
Network syncing of the songs is not available, unless every player has the same songs in the Songs folder.

The custom song feature is still experimental and may cause crashes for some.

Apologies to players using Polish localization, we have not yet gotten the new translations, we'll add them as soon as we can.

Hello everyone! We have just pushed the changes that have been sitting on our coming_in_hot branch live.

Those changes include:

• Another fix for the Colour of Madness loot window bug

• Localization files should now use colors from the colors folder - This is only mod related and needs to be checked by modders if it works as they need to.

• We have reverted our previous work surrounding the Trinkets expansion as it was not functioning as intended.

Master the Shadows! 🌙 Shade teleports across the battlefield, weakens his enemies, and unleashes devastating magic when it matters most.

💥 Nether Shard 🔗 Chains of Despair 🛡️ Dark Bonds ⚡ Shadow Leap

Shade, the Dark Wizard, is a true master of shadows—teleporting across the battlefield, weakening his enemies, and empowering himself with nether magic.

With Nether Shard, Shade infuses himself with dark power, boosting his critical strike chance and making every attack a threat. Chains of Despair ensnare his targets, sapping their vitality and slowing their movements so they can’t escape his grasp.

Dark Bonds summon shadowy shackles that weaken enemy defenses, reducing their armor and making them easy prey for follow-up attacks. And with Shadow Leap, Shade can instantly teleport anywhere within range, letting him ambush enemies, escape danger, or control the fight from any angle.

Shade is more than just a spellcaster—he’s a battlefield manipulator, controlling the pace of every engagement and turning darkness into victory.

STAY EPIC. STAY BRAVE.

The year is 20XX (2025) and game development is a bit different these days than in decades past. If you had told me when I first entered the industry 18 years ago that I'd ever be planning out a demo for a game that is just barely crawling out of the prototype phase of development, I'd have thought I was being pranked.

But a lot has changed in the last couple of years. The bar for for raising development funds is higher than ever. The insistence on complete secrecy and market validation coming from Publishers well into development has now become an insistence on maximized visibility and market validation provided by the developer before a publisher will even consider joining and providing development funds.

While that role reversal has had some pretty devastating effects on the indie and AA scene, there's no arguing out of the fact that it's our current reality. So, what is a small team to do with a prototype but no marketing budget?

Teaser trailers and even gameplay videos are well and good, but nothing speaks to players more clearly and directly than something they can actually play. The question is, how do you make a demo that is early enough into development to be made without financial support, but far enough along to give players a fair look at what the finished product will be?

For our team of 3, we have settled on the following:

• 1 Complete level, playable from start to finish, ending in a boss fight

• Core gameplay systems, along with basic enemies, music, and challenge represented at a "minimum viable product" level

• Art that is representative of the final style, even if not complete or fully polished

• The potential to round out additional, smaller experiences, in short level "previews" or vignettes

The level we chose for this will be the Wastelands level (featured in the Ambient Machinewaves video below!), as it has a nice balance of interior and exterior spaces, room for horizontal and vertical scrolling segments, and a boss with an already-roughed-in 3d mesh.

As part of the selection process, we also started mapping out all of the other levels on an idea board to have a better feeling of where we will have a vertical vs horizontal movement focus, what color themes are being used in each level, interior versus exterior environment focus, and general theming with things like time of day and weather or other important related elements.

And last but not least, a new Ambient Machinewaves is up! This time featuring a small glimpse into the afore mentioned Wastelands level, along with a new work-in-progress music track!
