• Fixed a small placement bug that affected mostly palisades
• Better building menu with proper status info and better visibility for disabled actions
• Families whose home has been destroyed now relocate to an empty home, or pitch a tent when they cannot find one (sleeping in a tent reduces health, so you want to get them back into a proper home ASAP)
• Game now switches to normal speed on nightfall and daybreak
• Fixed several bugs related to day/night transitions
• Raised the monster threat on the test map somewhat, to make it more challenging
• New defensive building: Burning Pile
• Build button tooltips now tell you the construction time of the building
• Added a special event happening in some games between day 8 and day 12

Black Forest is a turn-based multiplayer game about cooperation and betrayl. A strategy, resource-management game about survival. It is set in the forest of the same name in medieval Germany. It is a casual game, meaning that you will spend anywhere from a few minutes to maybe half an hour on it per day.

In the game, each player controls one family in a village that is located deep in the forest. Everyone tries to survive the wolves, bears and worse that come at night. Plant and harvest, gather and build, cooperate and betray. Survive as a community, but do not forget about yourself. Try to survive the coming winter to win the game. Or simply be the last survivor to gain a personal victory.

The core element of the game is cooperation and its limits. At some point, you have to think of yourself first. If your community is strong, others will help you. But the forest will sooner or later overwhelm you all - when will cooperation break down? Will people betray openly, or trick? Is that proposal a trick maybe, or really the best? What role will common ground play? Does the village provide shelter for those who lost their homes? Do you share resources or keep them private? All of these and many other questions will be asked and answered in every game.
