Behind the Horizon

a new story begins..

Changelog 1.15

GUI

New menu that allows access to all menus in the game with a single click (access on the far right of the quick bar)

Objects can be placed directly on the quick bar. If the place was occupied, the item will land at the mouse pointer and can either be put back into the inventory or simply dropped on the ground, which will also land in the next free inventory place.


Graphic

Various groundcover textures were edited or redesigned.


Game

Possibility to steal vegetables and fruits! Up to now it was not allowed to harvest on foreign beds. This is now allowed with the corresponding consequences and it is up to the player to decide whether to use it (Note: NPCs don't like it at all when you steal and it is not good for your consciousness either).

 

Changelog V1.15b:

Graphics:

All ground cover textures have been redesigned and the graphics engine has been rewritten to make the landscape look more harmonious.

Stone textures have been improved


Game:

it is now possible to offer hay and feed the animals that normally eat grass in winter when the snow cover is closed. Previously, you had to either feed them their favourite food (needed for taming) or shovel the snow away. Feeding with hay satisfies the animal for a day and is important for all farm animals that produce something.

On the minimap above the houses it is now shown who lives there. This hopefully helps with orientation in Woodhome (NPCs almost always return home in the evening. Some eat in the restaurant first.)

Changelog V1.14

Animation:

Fixed bug with standing devil animation

Magic

The spell Connect Spirit has undergone some changes: If the spell is cast on a plant that was not planted by the player, it will be given the status "planted by the player" if it is within reach of the crystal. The spell does not work on trees.
If the spell is cast on an empty field, the player will have a temorary connection to all the surrounding plants and trees he has planted and can see if they are suffering from deficiency conditions (graphically marked by animated different coloured symbols on the field. Blue stands for lack of water, brown for lack of nutrients, orange for too much heat, turquoise for too cold, light yellow for too much light and dark grey for too little light.

The Heal spell can now also revive trees in "Overload" mode. They get a part of their life time back, but first they have to grow again until they can bear fruit.

New building plans:

Lightning conductor: prevents lightning from striking an area (lightning destroys all plants and damages trees and injures or kills animals)
Herbal stake: will be needed in the next big content update.
Sandbag: prevents the field from being flooded.


Plant Emote:

the reason why plants are dying is now also shown. It also shows when a tree is wounded.

GUI

If you press the "Left Control Button" in the game, the area in which the player is allowed to plant (measured against his consciousness) is displayed brighter. Floor areas that are still too far away are displayed darker.

Display:

Shopsign with opening hours of Alfred's farm shop corrected

ChangeLog 1.14b

- The two displays for Life Essence and Energy are now smaller in relation to the rest of the GUI and therefore take up less space in the corners. The whole GUI is still scalable.

- A mouse control of the character was added. If you press the middle mouse button the character always runs in direction of the mouse arrow

Changelog V1.12


(old savegames can still be used)


GUI

The appropriate interface size is now determined automatically when the game starts and then saved with the score. Later this can also be set manually and is also saved. However, it is not recommended to make the GUI so large that windows overlap, because then some elements are no longer accessible.

Speech bubbles position at the player optimised

The active tool in the quick bar can now be changed with the scroll wheel of the mouse.

In the Quest Overview and Library, the list can now also be moved using the mouse scroll wheel.

Animals now hold still briefly when tamed with a spell

The player's old position is now only saved when using the teleport spell and not when travelling between stone circles or using the teleport stone.

Changelog 1.07

old games can still be used (just copy them into the save folder)


Nature simulation:

Introduction of seepage. Every soil type now has the property of seepage, which tells you what percentage of the added water will seep away. Stones, gravel and sand have the highest seepage values. Heavy clay and clay soil have the lowest.
The seepage puts the soil composition and the development of the soil even more in the focus and makes it more laborious to cultivate on sand or sandy soil.

Earth fields bordering on swamps, ponds or river water now benefit from the moisture of the neighbouring field. The water supply is replenished daily.
Evaporation in sunny weather has been greatly increased during the day.
Ground coverings plants now reduce evaporation by up to 50% depending on the density of growth.
Trees now reduce evaporation by up to 50% depending on size (giant adult trees also reduce evaporation from surrounding fields by 25%)

Adjustment:

Cacti and palm trees now have greater resistance to drought.

Trees and giant trees can no longer be replanted with a shovel, but must be sown. Seeds can still be dug up.

Some trees now have more specific preferences in temperature and cannot survive the winter directly at the farm.

The reproduction conditions of trees have been changed once again to prefer a more varied and less dense forest.

Some weapons have been adjusted in damage and speed to improve balance.

Combat spells cost a little more energy to improve the balance to melee weapons.

Nutrient and Water Crystals now give less water and nutrients than combinations of 2 or 4 crystals.

The reproduction of NPC farm animals has been increased.


Graphics:

Some seed varieties made more visible

Pear tree texture improved
