Hey !

First, I went to 2 different events in the last months :

Next, big good news !

Then, incoming content :

Hello ! Devlog summary of the new content until the 4.2.204 and reasons for the previous lack of updates! It's quite synthetic, if you want to have more details don't hesitate to read the discord or ask me ! I am still working on the next update that will be story-oriented, I keep you informed ! I decided to make next devlogs in french with english subtitles to make it easier and faster for me to make, don't hesitate if there is any error in the subtitles ! [previewyoutube=qP_r6g0LcpY;full][/previewyoutube]

Hello ! I'm back after a week of vacations ! Little patch with a fix for little screens, the UI should not be broken on Steam Deck anymore. I'm still on the next big update with story parts. I'm working on textures and design, the dev part is coming soon. As said this update should take some time because I'm working on new features for the dev side, to create new maps and reworking the existing shops in the future. I will give you some news as soon as possible!

- added 4 different ducks - added 2 different squirrels - added 2 different mooses - fixed moles spawn and movment - added common mobs spawn system for bigs and consistent animals & mobs - reworked quests system to be more clear and added orientation indicator for some of them (I will adapt some pre-existing quests to use this feature in the future) - fixed UI display bugs I also scheduled new updates. I think it will be the last "small update" before the 4.3.x, that will take longer. I took longer to send this last update to schedule next incoming updates. I started to work the next one last week.

Hey! I took a little bit longer for this update to make it better, You can now play with your controllers, I also did a big reshape of the UI style. More informations are on the screen. There is now a continuity between buttons and menus styles, it's less weird. I will probably change little details in the future but I think its global shape will not change. More elements are sized depending on your screen dpi (or pixel per centimeter), to make it more readable on big screens.
Coming next in 1 week max: new mobs, new furnitures and quests orientations helper - reshape of UI style - items in inventory are now sized depending on the dpi - added controllers (XInput) - added more infos (trust, frogolds, life remains on screen) - added conversation to play head or tails (villagers can propose you to play sometimes) - fixed bugs, more stability

- key duplication in keybinding is now possible - added build mode - added hot bar switch - added life bar - you can now catch moles - added new quests related to Fulraste and to moles - fixed a lot of bugs

Part 2 of the update, with new electrical furnitures, useful to generate and store energy, it will be useful for incoming features. It's now possible to add quests to Fulraste if you have less than 3 current quests. Part 3 of the update will be released in ~ 1 week! - added wind turbine - added solar panel - added battery bank - added moles, first mob of the game - added quests for Fulraste, that you can ask when you want - added a "game over" for the player (can be knocked out) - fixes - game is now more stable (constant fps) on very old and small config

- fixed bug with text with images throwing exceptions in some rare cases - fixed camera tp making player disappearing

- added a "max" button in craft menus - fixed small bugs - fixed wall furnitures bug when added to a wall - fixed visual glitches with new walls - fixed UI autoclose when interacting with right click buttons - all electrical lights are now wireables again (some were missing) What's next ? New furnitures, including solar panels and wind turbines (available in pre-release soon), first mob in the game and new quests related to the new Villager! => Next part of the update will be released in the week

4.2.83 This update is a big rework, more stability, less ram usage, rework of rendering, added polish. This is the first part of this update after a long time, another update in approximately 1 week with new content and infos about why I spent so much time since the last update, I keep you informed - Rework of a big part of the engine of the game - simplification of interactions - bug fixes - added potions and effects - added Fulraste v1 - new features - polish - added bamboo - added bamboo furnitures - added wooden stylized furnitures - simplification of electricals - rework of walls system - too much infos, basically almost every system has been reworked to simplify the addition of new contents

Some news about the game, Kyma was at the @ClermontGeek this weekend, I had several positive feedbacks and ideas for improvements for the big update to come, thanks again to the people I met and the ones that tried the game for your feedback!
The update is still in progress, I think it will be released in 1 to 2 weeks to take as much feed back as possible and the game be as solid as possible, the next updates will have a faster pace again, I will do a post or a vlog to explain the delay had before this update, and content to come!
I will possibly send a first part of the update this week to have feedback about main mechanics but not sure. Don't hesitate to try the pre-release branch if you are not scared about bugs and to send me feedbacks !
