Due to recent events in my personal life, I will have to place LandTraveller on hiatus for new content updates. Because the game is already nearly 4 years behind the projected completion date and it isn't known when there will be a new content update, I have decided to make LandTraveller Free to Play. There will be no micro-transactions or any in-app purchases. In recognition for those who have supported and followed this game over the years, everyone who had purchased the game will receive bonus content whenever the next content update is. During the hiatus, I will still provide basic support and collect feedback. Indeed with the game now open to a wider audience, I anticipate more feedback. This will surely make the first update post-hiatus a big one. It is unknown at this time what the new update schedule would look like, but it will continue to prioritize the completion of the story mode. Thanks again for your loyal support, and I welcome the new players. I hope you enjoy the game.

Across the ocean is a city known for being "The Capital of the World". There is where you'll get closer towards your ultimate destiny. You can now travel to this place with your ship and meet the ones who make the decisions that matter.. at least for those living in the city.

Anyone attempting to simply walk up to it is never heard from again. They tell of someone named Gina who frequents the area just outside Cobalt City, and survives. You'll need to prepare before you try it yourself, maybe she'll let you borrow her gun.
The Barrier Forest gets its name by being the only thing between them and the armies of creatures. Deep inside is a mysterious installation casting shadows with its bright lights. Is this the way in?
Apart from the continuation of Story Mode, there's a bunch of new blocks and parts for you to build a more proper house with. These include things like wall material, framed windows, indoor lighting, furniture, and more. Check out the housing district of the city if you'd like to get some ideas.

Some major gameplay adjustments are made with this update. First, you can now choose what sort of wanderer decides to move in during Explore or Multiplayer modes by placing specific patterns in living spaces. The new Fighter, Gatherer, Crafter and Trader patterns let you define these roles. Now you can plan out parts of your settlement in advance, put the fighters where you want to keep the monsters at bay or build a central hub for all the craftspeople. The knowledge system was modified to exclude cosmetics, decorations and other similar items. These were moved to the new designs that you can learn by finding them as loot. It works just like the existing recipes, and all the new fashion items and decorations can be learned there. As a consequence, the knowledge progress of each world was reset, but your characters will remember everything they had learned so you won't actually lose anything. The enemy encounter system has also been reworked to provide the same endless swarm of creatures to fight, but at your own pace. The details are in the changelog below but in general if you don't explore or wander then you won't be constantly found by stray enemies. You'll also find slightly less enemies out there in most areas. This will give you time to gather material, have lunch, or whatever you need before you head off into the next fight. This update introduces official Steam Deck support, includes a default control scheme and the ability to play through it without extra configuration, but feel free to edit the controls to your liking, there are many options with the Steam Deck! Its able to run LandTraveller smoothly for a great old-fashioned gaming experience.

The abandoned manufactory at the top of the haunted mountain is waiting for you! Discover your destiny inside and find a new power that will help you challenge stronger foes. Or maybe you want to settle down for the time being, inviting many to build your lively community. Improve your arsenal with steel weapons and armor, and with rare material hunted from fiends- creatures stronger than usual. All of this and more have now arrived in Chapter 4 Part 1. The first part of Chapter 4 introduces a major character growth milestone in the form of hybrids. At level 7 you can become a hybrid, combining two animal types and gaining access to the abilities from both. Outside of story mode, the NPC system in explore/multiplayer mode has been replaced with a system based on various roles and things each character wants to do or desires to have. NPCs will now gather, hunt, and trade with one another to gather material for crafting. Traders will buy finished items from all nearby NPCs and sell them in their shop. You can help things along by giving material to NPCs directly through supply boxes, or by buying and selling with them yourself.

Protecting your items and builds from other players is an essential feature when hosting a public game server, and this update adds a feature to LandTraveller that does just that. If you rest in a bed in an area that hasn't been claimed yet and is far enough away from other players' areas, you can now claim it for yourself. Claiming an area prevents other players from building, destroying, or taking your items. They can still open and close doors and interact with some props. The area is 16x16 blocks in size (spanning up and down), but you can adjust this size for your server in the configuration file. Story mode chapters will be added only when a complete draft is ready. In the meantime, I've added a new story quest to chapter 1 and gave NPCs roles in explore/multiplayer mode. Once you've advanced to the next era, some NPCs will even buy and sell things with you; that coin indicator at the bottom left of the menu wasn't just for show. The enemies in chapter 2 can be tough on you, so I gave you eight new abilities to choose from. These are based on what you picked before for combat. You don't need to unlock the next era for them either, so they can help you out if you're having trouble with the first boss. This game doesn't have complete darkness, but it might still be handy to have your own light source. This update includes a torch you equip in the top slot of your fashion items. It will emit a light in front of you when you have it on. With a lot of the supporting props, items, abilities, enemies, etc. added, chapter 2 should be coming soon! - [NEW] Added a new quest "Lost and Found" if you ask the deer in the village what's wrong - [NEW] Added the Clay Bowl and Clay Cup to add decoration - [NEW] Added the Clay Pot which stores fewer items than boxes, but is easier to make - [NEW] Added the Kiln, a hotter version of the Firepit - [NEW] Can now prepare clay material from either sand or mud - [NEW] Added Clear Hands which are actually a fashion item you can use to hide hand equipment, and the Clear Feet to hide feet equipment - [NEW] Added the Olivine Charm which raises your damage if you have a fire weapon or orb equipped - [NEW] Added the abilities Zeal and Lively for characters who chose the Vigor ability (for special attacks) - [NEW] Added the abilities Impact and Blaze for characters who chose the Draw ability (for bow users) - [NEW] Added the abilities Nimble and Combo for characters who chose the Honed ability - [NEW] Added the abilities Tough and Effort for characters who chose the Guard ability - [NEW] Added a new Culler enemy that flies around and dive bombs you at close range to attack - [NEW] Added a banner for some decoration - [NEW] Can now claim areas after resting in bed to protect them from other players in multiplayer - [NEW] Added the torch you can equip in the extra fashion slot to shine a light in front of you - [NEW] Added the brazier as another source of light - [NEW] Added information about the access any NPC has to crafting stations where they chose to live - [NEW] Can now buy items from various NPCs who have things to sell - [NEW] Can now sell items to some NPCs who are willing to buy them - [NEW] Can now see the value of items that have value, in coins (the game's currency) - [NEW] NPCs in explore/multiplayer now choose roles and select their default equipment differently - [NEW] Added the inspect command to see an NPC's stats, equipment, etc. in story mode (automatically shows up in explore/multiplayer) - [QOL] Added a background to multiplayer text chat at the bottom left to make them easier to read - [QOL] Can now split stacks of items, use Aim Up or Right Click to take 1 item off a stack at a time - [QOL] Story battles have been changed and the indicator for the number of remaining enemies has been added - [FIX] Fixed a bug that could result in you having negative EP in some situations on multiplayer - [FIX] Fixed several bugs which were causing the AI to lose its mind during story battles in some situations - [FIX] Fixed some issues preventing some systems from running multiple servers on the same machine on different ports properly - [FIX] Fixed a bug preventing you from changing filter in crafting menu using number keys or next/prev keys/buttons - [FIX] Fixed a bug where the strength of current ammo was being included when using special attacks with the bow - [FIX] Fixed the scoreboard no longer appearing when the button was held down (defaults to TAB) - [FIX] Fixed a bug where you could open the multiplayer chat after connecting but not yet joining the game world - [FIX] Fixed a bug where a new NPC might move in when placing a bed instead of an existing unassigned NPC claiming it first - [FIX] Fixed a bug where the game might crash if an NPC tries to return to a bed that is no longer there - [FIX] Fixed a bug where NPCs would sometimes continue walking away after you talk to them in multiplayer - [FIX] NPCs will now properly fight threats instead of just standing there and letting themselves get defeated - [FIX] Fixed a bug in the stats of newly created NPCs (explore/multiplayer mode) - [ADJ] Enemies can now enter and will attack you in your home area, but only in explore/multiplayer mode

The engine has been upgraded to support other translations of the game! In multiplayer, the chat now uses a different system that supports text written in other languages. New translations can be made following the example template in the "trans" folder. A guide on that will come soon. Another major update is the ability to connect some objects to each other to form mechanisms and traps. I've got a video on this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvET1k0JMgQ Of course some of the new content will require you to recover scrolls instead of tablets. In explore (or multiplayer) mode, the map has been extended to the north. Head to the top and you'll see an entrance to the next map. You'll find the scrolls if you dig around in the temple ruins, but look out for some tougher enemies! The movement speed has been re-balanced so you move faster with higher agility, but weight will burden you more. If you want to keep your speed, you'll have to avoid equipment with weight on it.
