New Monsters, Big Content Update and a DLC

This update contains a ton of changes, as you can see below, including two new monsters and a lot of new monster intelligence. Also lots of bugfixes (and probably a whole lot of exciting new bugs). It also contains a DLC which you can find on the store page. The DLC is only cosmetic, does not change the gameplay, and its main purpose is to create some income for me that I can invest into more stuff to add to the game, especially better villager models and icons.

New Monster: Giant Rats
New Monster: Troll
Big update: Completely reworked all building placement and colliders, making it possible to place them closer together, correctly represent the non-rectangle shapes of some (like the animal pens) and enabling much improved monster and peasant pathfinding.
Big update: Added pathfinding and AI behaviour to monsters. Right now, kobolds, rats and harpies use complex behaviours, other monsters will be updated to the new system over time. KNOWN ISSUE at this time: These critters don't speed up or slow down according to your chosen game speed.
Can zoom a bit closer than before now, for more beautiful close-up views and screenshots
Improved chicken and goat animation and behaviour (i.e. they walk around now, looking for food)
Fixed a potential bug that could cause the game to not end on day 20 under some circumstances
Peasants are now guaranteed to look for new homes at least twice a day
Game should no longer exit pause unless you manually do it.
Monster action cam now triggers the first time you see a type of monster PER GAME.
Improved wall snapping function
Can now cancel the action cam by pressing the ESCape key
Fixed a bug that caused monsters to appear and immediately disappear again on the Karenfang map
Game now actually ends on day 20, not day 19.
Slightly improved smith graphics

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.
