Mr. Z
Welcome Renowners, we have some great news for everyone today. After several weeks of private testing weve finally reached a good level of stability and optimization to return to regular weekly playtests.
Many parts of the game had a lot of prototype code that had to be overhauled. Now every gameplay mechanic has had an optimization pass to work well in the context of a big multiplayer open world survival game. This is a big milestone for us as it is the first big completed step towards releasing the upcoming survival map.
Optimization for client side and server side performance has been the main focus, but also lots of other things were improved as well, as you can see below. If you were having performance issues with the game before, you should find significantly improved performance in this patch.
Whats new:
New pieces of furniture
New early game items
Added Ping limits
Deployable Pavise
Building system improvements
Added Floor hatch
Ranged combat overhaul
Added new keys for opening locked doors at POIs
Winterhold Castle Revamp
Many AI improvements
Many bug fixes and QoL improvements
Substantial optimizations for client and server
Automated Wipes
Maintenance system
Loot system rebalancing
Crafting rebalancing
Well be planning to do an official Stress test in the coming weeks, so we can prepare Renown for a public demo some time soon. Well need as many testers as possible to fill up the servers so stay attentive for an upcoming announcement of that.

Combat
The combat system functions with a set of easy to learn, hard to master fighting mechanics. The system is also built so that it is very easy to understand, allowing new players to easily learn the basics. As players become comfortable with the system, their developing level of skill becomes a major source of enjoyment.
Building
The building system uses an easy-to-understand and deploy method. This allows for greater depth when creating both small and large castle or village-type structures. From a small house with only a door, players expand into fully customized castles, creating structures truly unique to the person's ability and experience.
Raiding
The raiding system represents the pivotal activity that all types of players can undertake in-game. What’s the point in building a great castle if you can’t level someone else's to the ground. In a way the players are always in an “Arms Race” to see who can build the strongest, smartest, and most awe-inspiring structures. We want to provide you with just as awe-inspiring weapons, siege engines and all the utilities required for an ongoing medieval war.
