• Bug Fix: object rotation in maps made before last update - 28 June 2026

  Fixed a bug where in your old maps some of the objects would be rotated in the wrong direction after updating the game.

• Wildshape: Massive Content Update! - 25 June 2026

  HighlightsCompletely New Terrain SystemThe terrain system has been completely rebuilt and now includes more than 60 brand-new textures.

• Mac Start FIx - 28 November 2021

  The project was recently upgraded to a new Unity version which caused an error when starting the game on a mac. This should now be fixed.

• New: Search Function for Placing Objects + Wall Tool Improvements! - 10 November 2021

  Object Search You can now search for objects in the object placement menu. Please note that this feature checks for 1) object names and 2) categories they are in. Example: You can type "chair" to find all objects that have "chair" in their name, or you can type "food" to get all objects in the food category. Wall Placement The wall placement tool also works a bit differently now. It no longer automatically sets you to flat grid and place on grid features, but places a room on the terrain. Also it automatically creates the full room and with shift/ctrl you can activate creating corner rooms. There are plenty of other changes planned for this feature in the very near future, but this is a good first step to make the tool easier to use.

• Hotfix: black spots on the terrain are gone! - 4 November 2021

  A small hotfix that gets rid of the black spots that appeared on the terrain for some users. Happy map making everyone! DLDev

• Update: Object Favorites, Selection Highlights & Crash Fix - 31 October 2021

  Object Favorites You can now select favorites in the object placement menu. They will appear in a favorites list where you can easily select them again without having to click through the hierarchy to find them. Selection Highlights Hovering over an object now highlights it so it will be more clear which object gets selected. There has also been a big visual update for the highlights, so that it will look way better especially for plants. Important Crash Fix There has been a bug in Wildshape that randomly caused a crash when you reopened a map multiple times. It turned out to be a bug inside of Unity rather than Wildshape, so it was possible to fix it by updating the whole project to a newer version of Unity. Unfortunately finding the cause of this problem was a few days of work, because the error was not known to Unity and therefore printed a useless error message. This means the new t…

• Bug Fixes: Multiplayer Joining - Workshop Upload - Texture Update - 26 October 2021

  Hello fellow adventurers! This patch brings a fix for starting multiplayer sessions with your friends. There was an issue where people with the free version were not able to join sessions correctly at times. Also there was a bug with the workshop upload that has now been fixed. I also optimized some of the textures in the game. The whole game is about 2GB smaller. Many files will have to be redownloaded which is why this patch is rather big.

• Huge visual improvements + LOD system test - 6 September 2021

  New Shadows There is a new shadow system that calculates additional shadows which has a huge impact on the looks and feel of your maps. Also this feature comes at almost no performance cost. Please note: there are a few shaders and objects (some rocks and grass I noticed so far) that do not work well with the new shadows. You can turn off the new shadows in the graphics menu if you want to go back to the original state. LOD System (Level of Detail) The game will soon feature an automatic LOD system and this patch has a trial version of it implemented. The LOD system renders objects differently depending on the distance/size they take on the screen. Objects that are very small or far away will be reduced in the quality of the meshes which can up to quadruple your FPS. You can now turn on the LOD system in the graphics menu. I recommend only doing so if your GPU is your bottleneck. If you…

• New version is now live! Completely reworked menus and much more - 13 August 2021

  -New main menu: I am always trying to listen to feedback and some if not most of the negative reviews on Steam suggested there was a big unhappiness with the games menu and UI. Therefore I Implemented a brand new main menu with an all new look and (together with the new data system) a way easier workflow to create your maps! I hope this will change their mind and give new players a better experience. I would highly appreciate your feedback! -New UI icons: The next step of our UI rework will be to further improve the UI of the editing scene.

The game will now save and load maps from your /Maps folder. It is no longer necessary to import/export maps into the game. Simply put them into the /Maps folde…
