Devlog #11: The after-party!
Hello Clan!! We had such a blast at the Festival of Kickstarter. Thank you all for having fun with us, and for all your support and love.
But this party is not over yet! In case you missed the campaign or had trouble with Kickstarter payment methods, weve opened a pre-order store page where you can still get the digital rewards. It will only be open for the month of April and then we will need to end the party, have a bunch of mates (the drink), and get back to work. Go to the pre-order store
Food, so much food . Our stomachs have been growling nonstop for the past month. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Congratulations to @askjdniasucialsd, @batonga, @rollingstampede! Youre the 3 winners of the raffle and will be getting access to the alpha !
Well be choosing the 2 main prize winners in the next few days. Youve made this really hard for us, your creativity, descriptions, and yumminess were exceptional!
While planning and running the Kickstarter campaign, we continued to build on the game even after letting streamers play. During this past month weve added:
We added tall grasses that spawn in batches, 3 flooring types (dirt, wood, stone), worked on item alignment, and updated plant shadings. This is how the game looks now:
Weve added the initial cooking mechanics with a few recipes you can make and their animations!
To expand on the importance of food preservation, weve added fish drying and fermenting to the existing processors.
A much-requested feature by the content creators who played the pre-alpha, and something that was on our backlog, was the ability to contribute multiple items at once. You can now open a contribution menu to easily contribute after a good day of foraging and harvesting. You can even recover whats been contributed for the day if you accidentally dropped it in.
Weve implemented an easy way to report bugs and feedback inside the game. Just pressing F1 will bring up a feedback menu. Alongside your description, well receive a screenshot and state of the game to try to reproduce the issue.
We received our Switch Dev kits last month and were able to play cross-platform! There are still many integrations, optimizations, and improved controller support to do. Still, its great that we develop for it early on! If you want to read more about it, we made a post about it
Weve always had a save system, but loading was a bit tricky and not 100% functional. Weve now implemented a basic but proper menu and also integrated it with Steam for identifying users in multiplayer.
This month well split our time between coordination and development.
Our main priority this month is to deliver the updated alpha to backers and winners of contests, receive and categorize feedback and bugs. We have a few things already going on, which were scheduled to finish this month:
Thank you once again for all your support!

Weve always had a save system, but loading was a bit tricky and not 100% functional. Weve now implemented a basic but proper menu and also integrated it with Steam for identifying users in multiplayer.
Whats next
This month well split our time between coordination and development.
Coordination
- Well be processing Kickstarter pledges and pre-order stores. Were developing a simple tool to automate the process of assigning Discord roles and providing alpha backers with keys.
- Open up Discord channels for alphas.
- Were working on an updated timeline that includes stretch-goals and assets from Kickstarter design tiers.
- Were growing our team. Its a gradual process as we want to have the right size to keep our current synergy.
Development
Our main priority this month is to deliver the updated alpha to backers and winners of contests, receive and categorize feedback and bugs. We have a few things already going on, which were scheduled to finish this month:
- Sketch and try the dimensions of the updated map with new locations (Tundra and Turtle Islands).
- Seasons assets for The Land Between Two Rivers and Forest area.
- Work on the back story of the game, the Yakuans, and other roaming tribes.
Thank you once again for all your support!

You have roamed the primal wilds. Now, it is time for you to settle down and build a village that will stand for generations. Join up with your friends to create a thriving community and develop the technologies that changed the ancient world. Discover crops, befriend animals, become the first farmer, participate in festivals, and find love to grow your legacy.
Discover, gather, and farm vegetables and herbs. Explore the surrounding wilderness to find animals to befriend and domesticate; fish the shallow and deep waters to see what lies in their depths; and mine the darkest caves filled with mysteries and secret powers.
A tight-knit community of people will ensure your village’s survival, each with their own fears and dreams. Develop friendships and overcome hardships together. Grow your village by inviting people from other clans to live with you. Participate in primitive festivals and rituals to Pacha, mother nature, and her elements. And when the time comes, find your true love ❤.
Begin your journey of discovery as you develop the tools and ideas that reshaped the primitive world. Learn to process and preserve food (meat, vegetarian, and vegan options), begin metalworking, create beautiful pottery and art, unlock your clan’s spirituality, and invent new buildings to expand your village any way you want.
The game was developed from scratch with multiplayer support in mind. Live together with friends and share your talents and resources to help the clan evolve. Ride your favorite animals together. Compete in fishing, have fun at festivals, and participate in milestone multiplayer cutscenes.
Customize your character’s appearance with the best cosmetics the stone age has to offer. When you’re done working on your face, work on creating the most amazing farm around. Don’t stop there! Design, place, and decorate your own unique home to return to after a hard day’s work.
