Dear Players
v1.16.5-rc.1, a unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager.
Been a month since I last posted so it's about time for an update. Here's whats happened so far.
1.16.5-rc.1 minor game update
This update brings a few essential bugfixes, as an unstable release to be on the safe side. Should become stable in a few days. I feel 99% certain this will be the last 1.16.x update.
Ukraine Charity
From the 27th until the 6th of March we have donated 100% of our revenue to humanitarian aid for Ukraine, amounting to over 5000 Eur. We have seen increased sales during that time period - thank you everyone for participating!
Vintagehosting update
As of yesterday, our Vintagehosting servers now allow a maximum player count of 8 players at no additional cost (previously 5 was the limit). Existing server owners may need to restart their game server for changes to take effect.
2022 Feature Trailer Additions
Currently we are focused on creating a new, 3 minute long main game trailer. In the process we add new visual effects and small details to help visualize the games mechanics and in-game experience. Most of them will become a permanent part of the game in the next main update. I've posted several of this changes on our Discord. Here's a few of them
Player and Creature frost overlay. Freezing players will look frosted and have a freezing animation.
You'll be able to sit down on a block edge
Improved Lava visuals
Layered gravel (from panning), Sea shells and loose stones will be submersible. Added flowering lily variant
Upcoming Updates
Beyond the aforementioned visual updates, the topic of 1.17 is "De-Jank". This means we'd like to improve some of the existing game mechanics and finish some of the currently incomplete ones. I don't want to go into specifics but I do can reveal some broad de-janks topics which we plan to work on, which are: Armor system, Immersive First Person Mode, Seraph Voices, Mouse/Keyboard controls, Prospecting, Meal cooking.
Once the game trailer and 1.17 is complete, we'd like to finally make major advances around the games lore in 1.18. This will include lots of new ruins and ruin contents.
We've also been working on a long term plan for a full story arch with different endings, all of them majorly affecting game play in a certain way, which is something I'm personally very excited about. I do hope we can add it all this decade still 
Till next time!
