We’re happy to announce the release of Wayward beta 2.3 “Expression”.
Beta 2.3 marks the biggest major release to date, with over 180 additions, fixes, and improvements. And even then, we sadly couldn’t fit everything we wanted to put in due to time constraints.
Some bigger additions this release are:
- Character customization with import/modding support
- New game menu with seed selection/game name
- Malignity is now “Reputation” with changes/improvements
- New tilling and gardening changes
- Spatial audio
- Hand selection for gathering/combat
A lot of time was also spent developing a certain yet-to-be-complete feature which we kind have been teasing about in our Discord and in the last newsletter. Well, since somebody is going to find the references in the code sooner or later: multiplayer is now planned and in development. We can’t promise when this will be implemented, but it is coming… “soon”.
As always with major releases, we plan on supporting the 2.3 series with multiple faster patches and releases as the bugs/issues come in from the community.
Wayward is 15% off from March 31st to April 7th, 2017 on Steam, Humble Store, and our Website!
Happy Waywarding!
