I'm pleased to announce that Woodfel 1.0 is finally ready to launch!

The patch will go live on July 28th, bringing Steam Early Access to an end. The images below shows some of the new features, but keep an eye out on the Discord server or socials for more details!




I can't wait for you all to play the new version, and I hope you enjoy it!

Though I've been pretty quiet since the 0.847 build in June (When I added achievements and some other quality-of-life improvements), I have been hard at work on the 1.0 build of Woodfel. This is the build which will take Woodfel out of Steam Early Access and into full release!

The major changes in Woodfel 1.0 will be an improved tutorial, the addition of a quest system (with a bit of a storyline!), and a new type of world quest which drops a reward chest. Lets have a look at them in detail:

New Tutorial
The new tutorial will be a little more hand-holdy than the existing one, especially at the very start. It will hopefully do a better job of equipping players with the basic skills they need to enjoy the game, and lead them into their first quests.


Quests
Next up NPC's like Maeve will have quests for the player. These could be gathering or crafting quests, missions to defeat baddies, or just taking messages and things to their friends. I'm hopeful to thread a bit of a narrative through the main story quests though to explain what's going on between the Woodfolk and the Demonkin! Players will have a quest book, and be able to track a quest on the hud too.


Other Changes
I'm also adding world quests to defeat groups of enemies for a reward, some new items to help players gear up a little more smoothly, larger storage chests, and a new Kick ability to make combat a little more fun right from the start! Not to mention a few bug fixes and imrpovements, but they can wait for the patch notes.

I can't put a firm date on the launch of 1.0 just yet, but as I progress with the new tutorial and quests system I'll keep you updated! I'm really looking forward to getting it finished and taking Woodfel into full release!

I've just put up a small hotfix for Woodfel (Version 0.72a).

I've added a vsync option (enabled by default) and fixed a small issue with the camera which was noticable at lower framerates.
This vsync option should help for streaming as the CPU & GPU won't be trying to render frames at an unlimited rate!
