The Forest received its first big update yesterday. The update offers some bug fixes, optimization and some new other goodies.
It’s important to note that saved games from v. 0.01 will not work with this version.
Some of the new features include:
- Sharks (!)
- Simple rafts can now be built
- Walls can now snap to form floors and roofs and defy gravity (experimental)
- New surprise item added to yacht
- When being knocked out for the first time, you will now wake up in a random cave
- Lowered fall damage amount
- Birds can be killed with fire (also !)
- Stamina recharge now takes longer
- You can now block attacks with the red axe by holding down the right mouse button.
- Timmy taken scene a little more dramatic (better lighting, sparks)
- Lowered intensity and range of fire light
- Lowered health on turtle
- Improved fish movement
- Increased range of lighter
- Enemies will drag downed friends out of danger again
- Females will sometimes freak out at dying family members
…wait, what? Do guys not freak out at dying family members or something? Emotions aren’t gender specific, guys.
The update also offers an overall performance increase, working on load times, stutter and memory optimizations. To see the full update log, check out the Steam Community page.
