Hey guys, Its with a heavy heart that were writing this today. Some of you might have noticed our earlier messages about the slower development pace, and unfortunately, those were leading up to this. Weve got some tough news to share about qb. For more than seven amazing years, we put our hearts and souls into making something special - something we hoped would bring joy, excitement, and great memories to all of you. Its been one wild ride, full of ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. However, as life is unpredictable, our priorities have shifted. Weve had to make the tough decision to stop working on qb. The slower pace we mentioned earlier just didnt fit into our lives as wed hoped, and the time and resources needed to keep growing the game are no longer feasible for us. We understand this news may be disappointing, but were incredibly thankful for the amazing community that has supported qb throughout this journey. Your support, feedback, and passion have meant the world to us, and we truly appreciate it all. While there wont be any more updates or new content, we hope youll still find some joy in what qb has been and the memories youve made with it. Additionally, qb will be bidding farewell as it will be delisted for sale on Steam in the near future. But if you already own the game, dont worry - nothing will change for you. Youll still have access to it, and everything will keep working as usual. Please know this decision wasnt easy, and it came from circumstances beyond our control. We just want to say a huge thank you for being a part of qb. While our journey with qb is ending, we hope the fun and memories youve had with the game will stick around for a long time. With heartfelt thanks and sincere apologies, qb Team

Hey guys, it's time we give you an update on the current status of qb, and sadly it's not very positive news. qb being the very first game for all of us enabled us to experiment around, learn new skills and expand on various systems and we are glad we took this path. However due to more recent changes to our private lifes it's not possible for us anymore to keep up with frequent updates to the game itself due to the sheer complexity which we've burdened upon us. We had a constructive dialog within the team and came with the realization that qb itself would need more manpower or more time allocated. It's difficult to continue working on a free time based project while also still having time for actual free time, family and work besides. Thus we'd like to turn qb to Maintenance mode: critical bugs will still be fixed as they get reported to us but updates come when they are done. Work on qb should continue as time allows, but with less pressure. Just as an actual free time project perhaps. Mid- to Longterm we'd like to take the experience gained with qb and work on new concepts for a different kind of game, likely reusing assets and systems made for qb and adapt these for future projects. We hope you understand our situation. qb Team

Hey guys, we are back! And we bring you 0.5.0.0 After quite some time where we could not deliver updates for qb we finally made it. We were at a point, where it felt necessary to rather invest time into our codebase than developing more new content. The rework turned out to create one new problem after another, which meant two years of continuous development to get to a stable state. It is clear to us that this time was painful and not acceptable. But we did not want to deliver an unfinished state where you would rather see setbacks instead of progress. We were not idling - we even increased our team by one more codemonkey since the middle of 2021 :). Most of our freetime was used to get qb to the point where it is now. Over 500 tickets have been finished and many more tickets are on our list for the next update 0.5.1.0. As follows a brief summary of whats included: [h4]New Content[/h4]

Hey guys, to keep you in the loop for how far we've come with the next update, we prepared an overview of the points we worked on so far, what is still blocking us from releasing it and the next steps after the update is available. What we worked on so far:

• Dual wield single handed weapons added
• Integrated tests made possible due to rework

• Destroying blocks shall happen in steps to give better feedback

Hey guys we have a status update for you on the rework of the codebase, so what follows are the current improvements that will be in the next update:

• Total revamp the way the game starts and stops
• This means we can provide dedicated servers
• New Entity Component System that runs in parallel with the old codebase, this gives us a lot of options in how Animals and Human NPCs are put together (modability)
• New AI that uses Behaviour Trees instead being Task Priority Driven (this enables us to implement tauning enemies for example)
• Humans (both player and NPC) received a whole new set of Animations, although 1st person is still using the old one
• We've added a 3rd Person cam too
• The balancing for Food, Potions and Skills will be included
• New watershader
• Better error handling, thus we and you know the root cause of crashes or bugs
• Extensive logging

Hey guys, we are currently undergoing heavy restructuring and rebuilding of several systems. The animation code base as well as animations in general are being worked at with brand new animatons. The AI is being reworked to work with ECS which means way better support of future modability as well as having a better code structure to implement new behaviours. Also the water shader has already got some rework and will be delivered with the next update. Our current source code management doesn't allow for intermediate releases/updates like we have been used to, as we just cannot guarantee a stable build with all the additional changes. We fear that bug reports would keep us more busy than focussing to work on the new features. After all these things take a lot more time than anticipated which is a neccessary preparation for the upcoming rework of the combat system which we announced last years Community Survey. Unfortunately we are only 3 people so please stick with us. We are not giving up! qb Team

Hence there are not that much of other changes. qb Team

Hey guys, in the past weeks we had a couple brainstorming sessions. In these we thought about how to make qb more engaging and fun. We think we found the most important ones and wanted to share these with you: https://steamcommunity.com/app/601400/discussions/2/1728711392736873293/

• Combat System
  • total rework of current “hack it till it dies” feeling
  • sometimes the player suddenly is surrounded by enemies and did not know where they came from
  • enemies should taunt the player with a distinguishable sound and wait around 2-3 seconds before attacking
  • enemies shall attack slower with visual feedback for the player to predict incoming damage
  • implement ability to block damage with shields and weapons
• Regeneration System
  • food and potions are not used anymore once the regeneration skills are active
  • food and potions should grant more regeneration over longer time
  • the regeneration skills will be nerfed accordingly to make food and potions more attractive
• Death System
  • it feels awkward when there is no penalty to a players death (i.e. keep inventory on death, respawn with 100% HP/Mana)
  • when the player dies he should leave his items at the place of death in a gravestone
  • the player then has the option to run back to the gravestone marked on the map or to re-equip at his base or use the ankh and respawn near the place of death
• Health/Mana/Stamina System
  • a player with 1000HP can just kill everything with his bare fists, we want to remove that playstyle
  • Health/Mana/Stamina will increase automatically per player level up
  • the Health/Mana/Stamina +-buttons will be deleted/deactivated

[quote] FIXED - Russian language UTF-8 encoding partially broken [/quote]

[quote] ADDED - New Lion model ADDED - Antialiasing option FXAA ADDED - Resolution switch for ASCII filter FIXED - Steam related logfile pollution reduced UPDATED - qb uses now Open JDK Version 10 instead of Java UPDATED - Underlying system for permissions have been reworked and uses the json file format now, previously set permissions are overwritten UPDATED - Graphic settings received a major overhaul (combining FoV, Viewdistance, Fps Limiter and Shaders into single tab) including graphic presets BALANCE - Bosses drop too much loot [/quote]

[quote] FIXED - Sometimes player gets stuck after teleport / respawn ADDED - Russian language (unfinished). Special thanks to Narrnika for translating it. [/quote]

[quote] FIXED - Cutting trees cause game crash because the rendering data was remove too early FIXED - Log entries are written twice FIXED - Some combinations of keybinds cause game crash [/quote] At the last update we were too hasty and overlooked some serious bugs. Many thanks to all bug reporters. We hope this hotfix fixes the issues.

[quote] ADDED - Seperator between normal required items and burnables in crafting menu UPDATED - Reworked whole world rendering, this means less stuttering, more view distance with less RAM usage UPDATED - Reworked chunk data format, this means less network traffic FIXED - Projectiles always used first of multiple entities FIXED - Crash when clicking outside of the keybind window FIXED - Ghost blocks when mining too fast and furious FIXED - Linux loose input events after reconnect FIXED - Underwater ruin spawns air blocks FIXED - Travelling Trader contains duplicate and too much items FIXED - Leaves can be changed to fruity leaves FIXED - Goldvalue is not aware of the amount during trading FIXED - Unify client/server log outputs [/quote] Hey guys, we reworked the way the world is rendered. Previously it was linked to the data logic - now it is separate and uses multiple threads. This allows for faster loading worlds with less stuttering. Another side effect of the rework is less RAM usage, so it should be a noticable performance boost on slower machines with less RAM. Additionally the chunk format itself changed which results in less network traffic and allows for more players simultaneously on a single server. qb Team

After a short summer break we are back again with the whole team. Our main developer is back as he completed his Master's thesis! We look forward to publishing updates more frequently again and presenting you some nice features. :)

[quote] ADDED - Link to Steam Workshop Legal Agreement when opening Prefab window the first time ADDED - Tutorial texts for level up, for selecting weapons and tools, for the trader and container UI ADDED - Avocado tree to Dry Forest, Savanna, Tropical Rainforest ADDED - Store All button to Chest-UI FIXED - Short Bow animation FIXED - Some leaves had the wrong category FIXED - Trader-UI always show gold value FIXED - Chest-UI shows wrong item category items on reopen, item filter was not synchronized between chest and player inventory, should not show equipped items FIXED - Character does still run when stamina is empty FIXED - German translation for tutorial text lockpicking was missing FIXED - Horizon not visible with old water shader FIXED - ConsoleCommand setWind used wrong permission FIXED - Only chests can be locked via the console command /lock FIXED - Chunk height map array was too big FIXED - Lighting bug visible in flat water FIXED - Surgeon Patrick is being known as Doctor now UPDATED - Clicking away tutorial texts without checking the checkbox will hide them until the next restart UPDATED - Trader- and Chest-UI is filter aware when clicking the Take All & Store All button UPDATED - Prevent shells from becoming a boss UPDATED - Kelp Texture UPDATED - Remaining texts in console commands localized UPDATED - Don't output "Playing cave sound" log to info level UPDATED - Keybind to release cursor is developer only REMOVED - Unused keybind to open console [/quote]

This doesn't stop you from continuing playing on the old worlds though. Just explore new areas and the new world generator should kick in. We do know that this can be pretty frustrating, but it was a change needed to happen. The benefit of this is that the overall world generation got a lot faster, rivers can flow into the ocean, beaches look more awesome and the ocean got plants and underwater prefabs. And maybe this is a good time to start a new world and enjoy how overall noisier the world got :) qb Team

Sadly there is no option to fix discovered villages, so the workaround is to discover new villages or create a new world. But there is also good news for these villages: Bobs houses will be build instantly! We plan to further rework the villages in the future to have a more structured codebase and to prepare them for more features to come.

Unfortunately we have to tell you that our lead developer will write his master thesis from now on. For this reason further development will be slower than usual. But we promise you that he will come back after finishing his thesis as we still have big plans. In the last two months we worked hard on qb. Our 3rd person camera is already finished and riding works quite well. Also a lot has happened in the background. We recently completed our new entity syncronization system which allows us to transfer entity data more effectively and efficiently. But there is still a lot of work to be done on the animations before we can release these features. We thank you all for your feedback.

Hi, to eliminate false positives and further investigate a shader issue related to NVIDIA GPUs we have disabled the MSAA option temporarly. As soon as the shader is fixed we will reenable the option again. qb Team

Hi, we've received some error messages this night. As it turns out it seems to be a shader error on NVIDIA GPUs. ːsteamsadː Hopefully this hotfix solves the problem. Please let us know if it is running now.

Hey everyone, we are happy to announce the start of Early Access for qb! A long journey it has been and we invested a lot of beers and sleepless nights to get to this point. Thanks to our super busy early testers who helped us fixing a lot of bugs and making further improvements to the game. Next up we will be working on the map and teleportation system as well as an character editor. Also the AI still needs further work to have more engaging battles. Now it's your turn to let us know what you think of qb!
