Sorry for the long hiatus, I needed some time to get things done in my private life. This update is more like an update of graphics, but I added some new crafting stations, which are important in the early gameplay.

New Unreal Engine 5 version

I've updated engine version to UE 5.3.2 (the former SP versions were on 5.0.3). Changes in the graphics in newer versions of UE5 are especially visible in better support for plant-like 3D meshes by Nanite system. I've spotted some issues and I want to take care of them at some other time because the game needs gameplay more than graphic polishing right now.

Smelting and Character Style

The metal ores you collect are now meltable at the new crafting station - smeltery. To operate it you need charcoal which is produced at campfire. Everything you need to know you can find in the guide book.

I'm currently testing a character appearance modification system. Your character is now distinguishable from the tutorial dummy.

Tomorrow I'm starting my first job. I'm a bit nervous because of it, but I think everything will be alright. I'm pretty sure after a couple of weeks I'll get used to shorter time to do stuff, and it won't affect development of SP.

Enjoy!
