Hi, everyone, It’s fall now in our world, leaves are changing colors and it’s rather cold outside (our team is from the North :) ). That’s why we’ve decided to release new Update 0.9.019 and announce the fall discount. Highly recommended for everyone doesn’t have to go to school early in the morning :)

And now it’s time for some Niffelheim news :)

Although Niffelheim is a cold and misty world, the witch can make it even nastier and unleash a ‘Drought’ upon your land. We’ve been conventionally calling this event a drought so far, but actually, this is a pretty strong curse causing all rabbits to disappear and resulting in flora ceasing to spawn, trees drying out, and the bushes having no berries. And only rare mushrooms that you’ll never find anywhere else in Niffelheim begin to appear in your world. In the future, we’ll add beautiful visual effects to this event :) Now let us delve into some details.

What’s new:

You should consider accepting witch’s ultimatums, otherwise, she casts a ‘Drought’.
Daytime mobs don’t spawn in drought.
Plants cease to spawn, but rare mushrooms appear.
Mushrooms grow at nighttime; some plants grow only during the daytime. For example, bees (we are testing such conditions so far).
There are small stones instead of large ones now. Players don’t need a pickaxe to collect them.

In the future, we plan to add a possibility of cursing other lands with the help of the witch or even order a skeleton unit to attack your enemy’s castle. But it’s only in plans so far :)

Balance improvements:

Pickaxe and axe can be crafted from stones and twigs. They can be collected in the upper world, no tools needed. Stones and twigs can be also used for building the first-level carpentry workshop. So, it’s impossible to stay in the game with nothing in your pockets.
Dragon deals more damage and is a lot easier to be activated.
Bot’s chests are constantly replenished, so they can be robbed forever. But they also constantly develop.
Twigs can be collected from bushes.
We increased the iron ore deposits.
Throne restores health faster.
Now throne placed next to the kitchen in the upper world also restores health.
Skeleton waves attacking the castle will appear only if the witch gives you an ultimatum and you fail to meet its conditions. Waves will march to the castle only from one randomly picked side.

During this time, we managed to update the game to the new Unity 5.6, so in future, we’ll be able to add beautiful effects. Also, we redesigned several scenes to support screens with 21:9 aspect ratio and will release this update 0.9.020 separately in a week or so. Now our team is working on the buff system and the new item balance. We’re also working on the crow and will add it to the game very soon. Fixing multiplayer bugs with mobs appearing and disappearing. And creating new interfaces that you’ll certainly like, but it’s a lot of work to do :) We are always looking forward to your feedback and bug reports! Sincerely yours, Ellada Games Team

We’ve also launched official Discord server. Let’s communicate more! :)
