Today we will be delighted by the arrival of patch v240. If everything goes well, we will finally be seeing some of the features that were on the roadmap for a very long time (such as breeding mechanics phase 2 and the rest of the arena’s).

New weapon Bolas; stones on a rope to tackle other people and creatures. We’re very interestedRead More →

A new version of the DevKit was released today. Unfortunately there weren’t many new things available this time. There are already a lot of creatures modeled and textures, so we think that they first focus on releasing those before turning to new ones. However, there are still a couple of things that might be interesting for you guys to see. Tek wall With the new tek tier items such as armors and weapons, we also get access to a new type of wall. In the pictures you will find this to called tek-wall, and also a comparison of it with a normal metal and stone wall. Read More →
Update: the app is no longer in beta-phase, but already released. A while back there was a poll on this website and one of the results was that people wanted to have a mobile app. The last couple of weeks I’ve been working on this in my spare time and today I’m happy to announce that it is open to beta testers (on Android though)!

Another explorer note was revealed today by Jat. This time it contains information on the well-known Rockwell (the person that wrote the Rockwell recipes that you can find for various dishes). We’ve already covered this explorer note in an earlier devkit preview, but this time it is in full color and with an altered text! In addition to this single Rockwell note, we then saw that there was another one concerning him and the berries on the island (although that one hasn’t been officially released yet, you can find it here if you want to see it). Beneath the explorer note you will also find the textRead More →
