  • Added option to invert mouse look
  • Added a sheen to items placed on the crafting table to make them easier to see.

    Thanks Dallas! Having a fun time play testing so far in R2! Can’t wait for R3, when multiplayer is enabled! :)

    Thanks, I have enjoyed the release so far and especially the crafting. I am having absolutely no performance issues playing in 5760 X 1200 surround, excellent frame rates. Running well.

    Thanks for the extra day! I had a blast running around the beautiful land of New Britannia (slowed down enough to post a few little bugs – that was our job after all). Can’t wait to get my inner gardener on and eventually setup “Rhiannon’s Plant Magic” in a new land!

    I like it a lot though obviously this is still a super super super Alpha Phase.

    Crafting was cool- though obviously you are going to need more tool tips eventually as things are really confusing at first.

    I’d like to see a combo gathering\crafting phase next maybe , so we can see how it works together- like how much our packs can hold and how much time each item will take. Per unit I mean as obviously you’ll gather more than you’ll need and then make a bunch.

    Lots more to see but good to see crafting a major thing.
