Village islands

A new island type has been added to the world. Village islands contain small villages, many with new quests to embark on. Note that your map will change slightly as the addition of new island types changes the procedural island distribution.

Throwing Items

Two new handheld items have been added: Throwing knives and bombs. Throwing knives have a natural boost in damage to enemies that are unaware of you. Bombs deal damage in an area so they can be very useful if enemies happen to be close to each other. But don't get too close yourself!

Throwing also comes with its own skill and skill tree that you can customize as you get better at throwing.

Localization

We have received many requests to translate the game into various languages so this is a large task that we really want to accomplish during Early Access. The translations are still a work in progress so it is likely that some of them are grammatically incorrect, or that we missed some things. If you notice any of these issues while playing, please use the in-game bug report to let us know about it.

For now, it will not auto-detect your Steam language setting, so in order to change languages, you will have to go into interface tab of the in-game settings to change to your desired language.

Additional Languages:

• Chinese (Simplified)
  
• French
  
• German
  
• Italian
  
• Portuguese (Brazil)
  
• Russian
  
• Spanish (Latin America)
  
• Spanish (Spain)
  

What's Next

On the tech side of things, multiplayer is the number one priority to get finished, so we'll be working on that to get it to you as soon as we can. There is still no ETA on its completion.
