No spoilers. The only thing we will say is that the world is now a full kilometer taller than the map that was available during the closed beta. For... reasons.

It's very early days for the design of this feature, so we cannot give out more details. We're keeping an eye on your comments, though!

The mountains will still take a bit more time as it's a first new (full) biome and we'll start development on that in parallel to other additons to the game. Also, mountains need mountain weather.

We aim to release a smaller sub-biome with our second major update. It adds more variety and new content to an already existing biome. For the next full-size biome, we're looking further out than that, several months at least, as it needs a lot more content to come with that.

We're very happy to hear that we have built a community that is so supportive of Enshrouded and our team. We currently don't have plans for any paid content, but we are clear that we won't offer any kind of paid content during early access. After full release we might consider paid DLC in addition to free updates (similar to what we did with Portal Knights), but we are not sure yet. Our focus is on offering a premium game in the first place.

The "shared gameplay experiences", because I'm a huge fan of user-created adventure maps. Gimme your parkour challenges and your obstacle courses. Gimme your Vukah mazes. Gimme your Tuscany bathrooms.

For me: Dune, the 1992 Cryo game

From Kall: Way too many to count. It's a bit cliche but can't go wrong with Chrono Trigger

It would be impossible to list all the games that inspired us in making Enshrouded. Game developers stand on the shoulders of giants. Some of the references are more obvious or immediate, so here are a few of these: our very own Portal Knights, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Valheim, but also to a certain extent the Souls game inspired us for the abandoned world, some aspects of combat (sorry no i-frames during combat rolls). Every one of us brings their own inspirations to the game, so if you think you recognize an influence somewhere... the answer is maybe! You should definitely make a 4-hour video essay on Youtube and let us know about it...

Just a reminder: it's easier for us to answer questions if you are actually asking only one per post. If your post is "here are four ideas for improvements and new features", then you should probably split it into four posts.

This is very, very good.

But seriously this is incredible, I love it.

We opened a dedicated channel on our discord server (discord.gg/enshrouded) for you to share your twitter links. The channel is #contest-entries. Please only post twitter links in there and use the other channel #contest-chat for any talk related to the contest.

We're on it. Toast and I will have a little chat with the stakeholders and contest organizers and we'll share what we got here

Throw us a bone, it's not even been three weeks since the game hit Early Access...

Holy sh*t I love your dad

*Looks at obvious bug*
"Uuuh yeah working as intended, great find guys"

Imagine the backlash if we posted anything even remotely close to that.

But I wanna do it...

I cannot imagine the amount of effort that went into wrangling the terrain to get this skull. Mad props.

Oh yeah, there are several tiers of foodstuffs, depending on the biome in which they're found. Bonuses grow accordingly.

There are lots of secrets buried under the ground, but cave systems à la Minecraft / Terraria aren't one. At least not in the existing biomes, and not in their existing shape. We recently increased the height of the map to be able to actually add more, bigger and cooler caves to a later biome we're working on.
