What's new in v0.2.0

PRE-ALPHA · WEB DEMO

A rebuilt island to explore, a clearer route through the demo, and more to do along the way. This is an early playtest build, with visible rough edges.

RELEASE NOTES

What changed

01 / WORLD

A new island route

Coastal terrain, cliff assets, a reworked shore and the rift route replace the small legacy island layout. The day–night and weather systems now shape the trip.

02 / JOURNEY

More reason to explore

Objectives and nearby waypoint guidance lead you through the demo. Find the paper VPS field plans in the shore wreck before you can build VPS shelter tech.

03 / PLAY

More actions have consequences

Gather and collect resources, craft tools, place structures, repair the rift, fight Ink and continue through the trial to the sky island. Hits, pickups and interactions have clearer feedback.

04 / INTERFACE

A game-first HUD

Updated mission display, hotbar, centered menus, touch controls and real asset-loading progress. On the ship, choose a masked male or female explorer for this guest demo.

STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

What still needs work

The cliff faces and shoreline still have rough geometry and texture seams. This is a browser playtest, and performance and controls still need wider testing on real phones and controllers. Your save remains on this device; there is no account or cross-device sync yet.
