A town the lava burned

Volcano's town is now a ruin. Every house is different, many have lost their roofs, the walls are blackened from the ground up, and smoke still rises from inside. Volcanic rocks lie where they fell.

Lava that moves

The lava flows with a cooling crust. Pools bubble, swell, and now and then throw glowing rocks before they settle again.

Bizarre Rock, darker and wilder

Bizarre Rock has new ground and cliffs shaped from the original map, dark forests, karst pillars and arches, and its red, golden and brown fields back. Deer, foxes and hares graze in the fields, crows and owls take off as you pass, and lamp posts light the roads to the gates.

Also in this update

Your character's feet now rest on slopes and steps. Loading shows the map you are travelling to with a real progress bar. Prairie has more grass, wildflowers and butterflies, and you no longer get stuck on the Bizarre Rock cliff paths.

This is a big download because of the two new maps; we will make the files smaller later. Windows only for now, Mac follows.

  • A new Bizarre RockNew ground and cliffs from the original map's shape, dark forests of many tree kinds, karst pillars, arches and boulders, and the original's red, golden and brown fields brought back. The map keeps its dark, eerie mood.
  • Life in Bizarre RockDeer, foxes and hares graze in the open fields, crows and owls perch and take off, ducks swim on the lakes, and fireflies drift around you at night-dark spots.
  • Lit roads and ruinsLamp posts line the roads between Bizarre Rock's camp and its gates, a lantern shrine stands at the gates, and old ruins sit among the pillar groves.
  • Volcano town in ruinsEvery house is different, from small huts to long halls. Many lost their roofs, some only charred rafters remain, walls are blackened from the ground up, and volcanic rocks lie where they fell.
  • Feet on the groundOn slopes and steps your character's feet now rest on the ground under each one instead of floating.

  • Loading screensLoading now shows a slideshow of the map you are travelling to, with its name, tips and a progress bar that follows the real load.
  • PrairieMore grass in the valley meadows, wildflowers and butterflies.
  • Trees stay out of your way in Bizarre RockLeaves thin out around your character so you can see where you are walking.
  • Real fogEvery map now has soft volumetric fog in its own colour.

  • Leaves out of your faceWhen the camera swings into a tree, the leaves right in front of it fade away instead of filling the screen.

  • Disconnected in Bizarre RockYou no longer lose the connection a few seconds after arriving at the Bizarre Rock camp.
  • Gliding animalsAnimals no longer slide across the ground without moving their legs.
