Greetings, Settlers!

  • seasons changing between spring and summer;
  • day and night cycle;

  • combat and magic systems;
  • settlement construction and defense;
  • regular enemies and mini-bosses with their own lairs;
  • settler management system;
  • tech tree with development points and village upgrades.

Many new features have been implemented since the previous playtest:

  • [color]A side quests system has been introduced[/color], expanding exploration opportunities and offering additional tasks beyond the main storyline.

  • [color]Additional sliders have appeared in the sound settings[/color], including separate volume level for the settlers' voices.
  • [color]Separate seed-sowing animations[/color] for male and female characters have been introduced, along with new corresponding sounds.
  • [color]The option to specify a monitor for the game to use has been added[/color] (Note that it will run in standard screen resolution by default).
