With this update Behind the Horizon is enriched with some new exciting content. First of all, there are two new areas and a cave, which have been hand-designed as usual. A new NPC offers two quest lines that are integrated into the main game. The level of difficulty is intended more for the beginning. During the quests, it is possible to earn a mount (!) and to get another pet that, when enchanted, also helps on the farm. In addition, I have greatly expanded the natural events, which are specifically adapted to the ongoing season, in order to create more variety and new challenges. There are now 4 possible events per season, with two having positive and two negative effects. The events occur randomly with different probabilities and it will take several years to experience them all, because more than two events are very rare in one season. Cats have now learned to kill mice again and mice like to nibble on vegetables in return. The netbook mode got a lot of changes and now the game actually runs smoothly on my Acer3 netbook with 4GB Ram and Intel HD. The vegetation density of ground cover, the surrounding coverage of light sources and the light size are limited. On top of all this, there are numerous minor changes and the fixing of a few bugs. The complete list of changes can be read in the changelog V1.2. All old game saves can still be used and the AddOn will be installed accordingly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In all seasons you can find the event of the Light Fairy, who roams the land and casts positive, growth-promoting spells depending on the season.
- Rivers(2days): after heavy rain, water comes down from the mountains and finds its way through the plains. This can sometimes make areas impassable, but fortunately the water gradually seeps away again after some time. The ground, however, changes irrevocably. It becomes more rocky in the upper course and more fertile in the lower. - Seeds from distant lands: In this event, a warm wind comes from distant lands, bringing with it many seeds that settle in open areas. Summer:
- Rainbow rain: a warm summer rain that replenishes all water supplies and brings some additional nutrients. - The locust plague(1 day): swarms of locusts appear on many water banks and eat the ground bare. They multiply at breakneck speed and can devour entire patches of land. The only comfort is that they only live for one day. As a countermeasure, there are herb stakes you can put up or you can try to kill them.
Thunderstorm(8h): a classic thunderstorm that damages trees and plants by lightning and wind. As a countermeasure, there are lightning rods that can protect a limited area. Vole plague(3 days): In many parts of the world, voles are becoming a plague and roam the land in search of food. Fortunately, they only live for a few days. The best countermeasure is the farm cat, which quickly kills the mice. Year of Mushrooms: In some autumns there is a veritable mushroom boom, because the spores of the mushrooms spread all over the country. Winter: Eternal winter (3days) : The eternal winter brings low temperatures and lots of snow. A good time to spend in front of the warm stove or explore some caves. Hailstorm(8h): Strong winds and hail lead to heavy snowfall and to fallen trees and damaged plants. Metorites(4h): A swarm of metorites descends and leaves small crystals in many places that can be collected and sold for profit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello community, Behind the Horizon has now got its own website, where you can read all the news in the developer blog section. All new videos and screenshots can also be found there. This also means that I will no longer post so extensively in the forums, because that is immensely time-consuming. I would rather use this time for the game. Behind the Horizon has now gained an enthusiastic, but still small, community and it is a great pleasure to see how you play the game and discover all the secrets. For me, it is also a motivation to polish the game evn more. Since many people had difficulties understanding everything at the beginning (reading manuals is just not popular anymore ;-) ), I decided to record a series of short tutorial videos to make it easier to get started in the world and in the nature simulation. My homepage: Jadawinindiegames.de My Steam shop page: Store.steampowered.com Hello Community, The version V1.22 of Behind the Horizon is now released The Tutorial Videos for my game are also uploaded to my YouTube Channel and also integrated into my Homepage.

Hello Community, once again there are some new updates up to version V1.24. This time it is about many comfort functions in the game and about a better feedback of the world. In the beginning, many players had the feeling that they had no information about how the nature simulation works in the game. I hope I have closed these gaps with the updates ! My homepage: Jadawinindiegames.de My Steam shop page: Store.steampowered.com --------------------------------------------------------- GUI: Localisation: Tutorial: Game: While lying unconscious at a shrine, monsters can no longer kill you and after visiting the shrine, your vitality and energy will be replenished. -------------------------------------------------------------- Patchnotes V1.24 GUI The self-made marker on the map can now be removed again with Shift + left mouse click on the map. If you start to starve, there is now a small message (the icon was often overlooked). The map can now be zoomed out a little further to have a larger overview. If you press the left CTRL (or left CONTROL) key, the radius in which you can plant something is still displayed. In addition, the name of the soil is displayed on all fields. I hope that this brings more clarity. If you approach pets while they are running around, you will now get a short message with their name and how they are doing. This should make it easier to see when pets need to be fed and also to distinguish them if you have a lot of pets. The whole feedback system (speech bubbles) has been redesigned to be more consistent. Instead of many different speech bubbles, there is now one that is colour-coded to match the topic of the message. 1) if you try to harvest a plant that is not yet ripe, the name of the plant is now displayed. This way you can also identify unknown plants. 2) If you try to chop wood or stones, for which the axe/pickaxe is still too weak, you will also see the name of the wood/stone you are trying to chop. 3) many messages are now much more specific and say what exactly the problem is.
You can now sell cooked food to Emma at the grocery shop, or to the traders Mona and Marko. Emma offers the better prices for food. Almost all dishes can be sold and compared to the prices of the ingredients there are a few coins more :-) ! The prices for food have also been adjusted somewhat for this. |
