Adding a few fixes and requested quality of life changes in this small update. As always, greatly appreciate your feedback and bug reports! Glad you are enjoying the recent big update! Really excited to see the rest of the roadmap fulfilled this year.

Fixes:

• Fixed ranged attack targeting in top-down mode - the target circle was behaving oddly when aiming higher than the character (ex. up a hill)
  
• Fixed ranged attack targeting in third-person mode - specifically for throwing stones, the angle calculation was done from the wrong point causing the stone to be thrown to the right
  
• Fixed in-inventory dead rabbits losing their inventory state when loading a save, causing their harvestable items to be empty when trying to harvest after being dropped
  
• Fixed internal error happening during nighttime due to missing fish spawn data

Additions:

• Added a migration of demo saves to the full game. This will only happen for players launching the full game the first time before any settings files are created to make sure the demo saves don't overwrite any full game saves
  
• Added stockpile support for charcoal, pebbles, and a new extra large stockpile added for thin trunks
  
• Added new game preferences storage system, currently saving whichever game customization options you set when starting a new game so that it will be re-shown the next time you try to start another custom difficulty game
  
• Added "kill" item action for live rabbits in your inventory

Other changes:

• Updated credits for character modelling
  
• Removed "experimental" from third-person control mode, it's fairly stable now!

The first major update of the year has finally arrived, just in time for the end of Q1! A ton of new and exciting features and improvements have been added to the game, a few still preliminary versions that will be improved over time. Even though this is a major update with a 0.x version increase, all old saved games should still be compatible. Please reach out if you see any issue with your saved games! And thank you for your patience, I know many of you were very excited about the update and were wondering if it was going to be delayed or not. Hope you enjoy!


Added a preliminary character customization system at the start of new games, and also when pre-0.10.0 saves are loaded (this will happen only once). There aren't any more detailed customizations yet sadly but these will come in future updates! There also may be some animation issues after a big migration from the old character model, these will be fixed with time as well.

Added a much-requested game customization options for new games! You can customize a ton of settings like turning off the Blight (mostly), food decay speed, etc. For now, these settings can only be set at the start of a new game, but modifying them during the course of a game will potentially come later on.

Fishing with simple fish traps is now possible in The Last Plague. You can catch multiple fish in the trap at a time, collect them and cook them. More active fishing with fishing rods will come in a future update.

Finally added bow and arrow support for some more interesting ranged combat in the game. Currently bows and proper arrows can only found in cabins, with support for crafting them coming in later updates when the resources required are added to the game.

Finally you will be able to use the spears as a longer range melee attack, as well as craft a flint-spearhead for a slightly more effective spear in the early game. Toggling between melee and ranged modes is possible with a new key bind (V and DPad-Right by default).

You can now choose to pick up trapped rabbits to be able to carry them back to a safer spot before harvesting them. Being able to drag larger creatures like coyotes will come later on.

• Added selection outline brightness option
  
• Reworked player melee attack collision detection to be a lot more forgiving, factoring in highlight of enemies into the attack rather than always checking directly in front of the player character
  
• Added quiver container that only stores arrows, must be equipped on the belt to be able to provide the bow attack interaction with arrows
  
• Added long plank wall
  
• Increase support beam connection distance slightly to allow one more snap-to-grid position
  
• Added character outline to main inventory window with (currently unused) new chest, legs and feet slots

• Added detection of controller inputs at the start of the game that you can now turn off, in cases where controllers were added unwanted input like navigating up throughout the menus
  
• Fixed crafting recipes with multiple output items not preserving input condition percent properly
