Hi everyone! The Woodfel 1.0 update is now live! This update will bring an end to our time in Steam Early Access and takes the game into full release. This huge update brings an all-new quest system to the game, allowing you to experience the story of Woodfel as you help different NPC's and factions, and earn quest rewards for your efforts! There is now also a completely revamped tutorial and help system, which should give players a better introduction to the features of the game, such as combat, crafting, and the different ways to build things! I hope you all enjoy the update! [h1]Full changelog:[/h1] [h2][b]Major New Features:[/b][/h2] - NPC’s, Quest System & Storyline - Several NPC’s (Non-player characters) can now be found in Woodfel. These NPC’s will offer quests (if they have an exclamation mark over their head) which will take you through the tutorial and on to the main questline. The main story quest will introduce you to the major factions and have you investigate some strange goings on in the land of Woodfel! - New tutorial & Help System - There is now a slightly more hand-holding tutorial to help players get acquainted with the game and controls. A more informative help section has also been added to the escape menu. - Creature Gang Events - Several new events added which can be completed by defeating the specified group of creatures in the target area. A reward chest will appear after the last creature has been defeated. [h2][b]Additions:[/b][/h2] - Large Wooden Chest recipe can now be bought from either faction merchant, allowing you to store more items in one place! - Added a new ability to players - Kick combat action. This attack deals a high amount of damage with a longer cooldown. Players learn this ability by default and it will appear on a new player's action bar. - More conversation system improvements to add some flavoring dialogue to NPC’s. - Added a quest book button to the HUD so you can track your current and completed quests. - Quest icons are shown on the map when quests are available to be collected or progressed. - Added quest tracking to the HUD above the world events, where your current tracked quest objective and progress is indicated. - In newly created worlds the starting area is now a small town with some useful objects (storage chest, crafting table, furnace and some farm plots). - Added an arrow based HUD objective indicator which more clearly shows the direction of your target, and is less confuseable with selection. - Added world tier indication to the HUD world name tooltip. This indicates the maximum tier of events which can spawn in the world. - Coal and Iron deposits will now occasionally spawn on the surface. - Added several eyepatch vanity items so you can be more like a pirate. - Added a day/night ambient soundscape, with a separate volume slider. - Added an achievement for completing chapter one of the main story quest.
