Greetings, Flameborn!

If you've been paying attention to our social posts you might have seen a mysterious teaser[x.com] a few weeks ago. If you've been frothing at the mouth with anticipation... well you're gonna have to wait a little more.

However, we can now say that we will be revealing more about Enshrouded's next update at the III showcase (it's read "Triple I" but we like to say "heeeee" because come on) on April 10th, 6pm CEST/9am PDT!

There will be announcements from 30+ games from other studios like us - all in 45 minutes - with world premieres, gameplay reveals, launch dates and more. There's no hosts, ads or sponsors – just games!

Version number: 637515


Added a couple more fixes and fixed a fix where we over-fixed the issue!


Changelog

• Fixed the overgrowth tool that broke with hotfix #21. Update 5 brought too much debris, Hotfix 21 removed the debris but took the overgrowth with it… this time we should have the overgrowth without the debris!

• Fixed a crash that could occur when unlocking achievements.

Version number: 637093

Check out the announcement here, or better yet, open the link in a new tab and read it after.

But first things first: why is there a full roadmap for 2025? Well, as we said right from the start, your support has meant that we could the world of Enshrouded a lot bigger than we originally thought, with more features, more biomes, more quests... Read more

• Fixed a crash that could occur in the Albaneve Summits’ shroud areas when close to or fighting Fell Sporehead enemies.

Thanks to your reports and with help from some of you on Discord, we managed to isolate and reproduce this issue, linked to one of our new mountain biome enemies!

As always, please keep reporting any issues that occur by pressing F1 and clicking "Report an issue". Thanks, Flameborn!

Greetings Flameborn,

The German Developer Awards[deutscherentwicklerpreis.de] ceremony took place last night in Cologne, and Enshrouded and Keen Games were nominated in a bunch of categories. We took home the following trophies:

- Best Game Design
- Best German Game
- Best Technical Achievement
- Studio of the Year

We're very proud of our wins and even though last night was a long night and today's a bit harder than usual, we're right back in the trenches to work on Enshrouded! By the way, did you know the game is 20% off in the Steam Autumn Sale..?

Version number: 610720


Changelog

• The Arachnophobia user setting now affects all types of spiders. When switched on, all enemy spider models are replaced by a replacement model. We also would like to apologize for making spiders even bigger last time around. Nothing personal, we just love creepy crawlies.
  
• Fixed an issue with bosses not starting the fight correctly when the perception range setting was lowered in world settings. Perception range scaling has been disabled for bosses, because they probably wouldn't be ignoring your challenge.
  
• Improved the trigger conditions for the quest concerning the epic musical instruments. It now only requires the player to obtain the drums to get triggered.
  
• Added more fallback requirements to various quests to make them trigger more reliably.
  
• Further improved the performance of worlds with many animals and villagers.
  
• Fixed a graphica...

Version number: 606779

Highlights

• Added fixes for a few different crashes reported by the community.
  
• Wells now have water again when discovered. When wells are freshly placed in the player base, they still need a few minutes to fill up.
  
• Wells now show a UI element indicating that they are currently refilling.
  
• Fixed several NPC and animal path-finding issues, for example finding and using beds has been made more reliable and pathfinding issues when going up and down stairs have been improved.
  
• Added new bathroom furniture pieces to the Albaneve Summits furniture set.
  
• Added more visual variations to the Fell melee soldiers in earlier areas of Embervale.
  
• Rain is now stopped by roofs more reliably.

• Fixed a few issues with quests not unlocking the...

• Fixed a crash in the UI code that could occur on characters with very full backpacks and when browsing the crafting menus.

Shorter one, but it's our last fix for this week (you don't push changes just before a week-end unless you want to come back to a worl on fire), so we felt it was important to get it out! A lot of you run around with very, very full pockets.

Please keep reporting any issues that occur by pressing F1 and clicking "Report an issue". Thanks to all!

Version number: 601958

• Fixed several crashes reported by the community (thank you all!).
  
• Restored the glow of glowing blocks. The appearance of glowing blocks is still different than before update 4 as part of the bigger rendering update, but it should be closer to the original values again, especially during the day.
  
• Updated several descriptions for lightning spells to highlight the fact that they affect the enemy stun bar.
  
• Updated the recipe for the flame level 7 upgrade, the seedling was exchanged with the actual plant
  
• Updated the recipe for the poisoned steel arrow, it previously required an incorrect base arrow as a resource.
  
• Updated the recipe for the Fae Deer bait, the seedling was exchanged with the actual mushroom.
  
• The UI above wildlife now shows more clearly that they have successfully been tamed.
  
• Fixed an issue with the reset of hea...

Greetings, Flameborn!

Days are getting shorter, temperatures are falling, leaves are turning red... could this mean that something is on the horizon for Enshrouded? Let's keep the teasing to a minimum: please check out the video below featuring our Creative Director Antony to learn about the changes coming to Embervale.



We hope you've enjoyed this brief look at our next update, which will be the biggest to date in Enshrouded. If you're interested in finding out more, you can follow along on our social channels where we'll be posting a new teaser every week, or join the conversation on our Discord to speculate about the new stuff!

Onwards... and upwards?

The team at Keen Games

Greetings, Flameborn!

It's been almost 8 months since Enshrouded released in Early Access, and today we are overjoyed to announce that the game has surpassed 3 million players! In this span of time, our team has delivered 3 major updates, 4 patches, 16 hotfixes, as well as community events and contests.

After we reached the million players within 4 days, and 2 millions within a month, we're still amazed at the reception Enshrouded is getting. The game keeps reaching new players through word of mouth, and the trust you have shown in our studio is humbling. As before, we deeply thank you.

The team is hard at work continuing to grow the game while in Early Access, with our full launch on PC, Playstation and Xbox consoles planned for 2025.

Keep letting us know what you want to see next for Enshrouded by ... Read more

Version number: 558123

• Fixed the issue with the mysteriously vanishing weapons. In melee combat, spamming the drinking potion action while attacking could result in the drinking action being applied to the wrong item if done at a very precise moment. Essentially, the player “drank” their own weapon. Big gulp. The issue was introduced when we worked on improving the timing of switching between attacks and drinking potions. Making games is hard and this is just one example. Keep following our patch notes for more exciting game dev stories!!
  
• Note that unfortunately weapons that disappeared this way have been thoroughly digested and are gone. We're sorry about that.
  
• Fixed a temple at the border between Nomad Highlands and Kindlewastes that was buried by a landslide. You should now be able to walk its halls without having to excavate them first.
  
• Fixed a non-interactive grapple hook anchor in the Nomad Highlands...

Version number: 555489

Changes

• Fixed an issue with dismantling shapes in the player base that were placed before the update. If you were only able to remove one block at a time in your base after the patch? That’s fixed.
  
• Fixed an issue with the server setting for weapon durability where wands and bows could still lose durability even with durability disabled.
  
• Updated the mannequins, weapon, and collection showcases to be included in server rights: they are now protected when placed in a player base and when the server permissions are set up.
  
• Fixed an issue with custom map markers being incorrectly positioned. Please be aware, that custom map markers that have been placed between update 0.7.3.0 and hotfix #14 may be negatively affected by the hotfix.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when rejoining a server.
  
• Fixed a cause for potential random crashes caused by an issue in enemy...

Greetings, Flameborn!

Our third update is already here, and with it, quite a few ways to tailor your Enshrouded experience to suit the way you like to play! This one is focused on adding a couple of key features, with some improvement to existing features and quality of life changes. Of course, it does include the usual fixes and polish.

We’re very excited to hear what you’ll make of the new server and difficulty settings, so as usual, drop us your feedback! In the meantime, our update highlights in video form, if you don’t want to grapple with full patch notes.

Version number: 539695

Changes

• Fixed an issue that could lead to random crashing when starting the game.
  
• The graphical settings can now be reverted to the detected defaults.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the quest “Loom for the Hunter” to not trigger correctly.
  
• Updated the glow intensity of the “Ectoplasm Block”. We tried to find the best balance between illuminating the Hollow Halls strongly enough while not flooding player bases in surreal green light. This means that the new (and intended) level of lighting of the block is somewhere between what it used to be ("dark mode") and what it was after update 2 ("the power of one thousand suns"). We are considering adding more luminous blocks further in development.

As usual, please make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date to avoid issues.
