Player characters, and partially AI, can now get sick! Unsafe food and water sources have a small chance to infect player characters and apply long lasting debuffs, which can be cured using various items.

In some cases, players can also contract diseases from enemies, which they can then spread back to enemies or other player characters. This system is still in an early stage and will be expanded in the future, adding more types of illnesses and requiring more complex cures that will partially tie into the game's alchemy system.

Last but not least:
We have also started adding a few interactive level assets, such as interactive scroll piles and hay piles, to make the map feel a little more lively. Some of them may or may not have a cheeky "surprise" waiting for you. :)

Quest givers will have quest markers in the near future, making it easier for new players to find quests without having to talk to every NPC in an area.

Some old locations on the first island have been receiving a quality overhaul to make the terrain easier to navigate for flightless creatures, improve performance, and open up more areas for player dens.

We are briefly breaking the silence to show you what we are working on at the moment.
