Winter

Dear players, We are excited to share some important news about the future of our game *Winter*! Inspired by your support and feedback, we’ve made the decision to completely rewrite the game in order to make it even better and closer to the vision we originally wanted to bring to life. This ambitious update will offer you a completely new level of immersion and even more exciting mechanics. To ensure the new version works as it should, we will soon be conducting a Steam Playtest. This will be a great opportunity for you to be among the first to experience all the new features, and for us to identify and fix any bugs that might arise in the new build. We will be incredibly grateful to anyone who participates and shares their impressions and suggestions.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42044369/af9200a89c3d46abaa5f0a7f579c6bd170236f71.png We have carefully listened to the feedback from our community and chosen a new direction for the game's development based on the feedback received. Our focus is on simplifying the interaction between the game and the players, making the process more intuitive and accessible. Many of you shared your difficulties in understanding the core mechanics and objectives in the game, which became a key point for our further actions.

Interface and Settings Changes Main Menu: The settings item has been removed to simplify navigation. Exiting Modes: Exiting Classic and Hard modes now returns the player directly to the menu, making transitions faster and more convenient.

The default music volume is now 50%, and the effects volume is 75%, creating a more pleasant audio balance right from the start of the game. Settlement Noise: We have completely removed this sound effect from the game to reduce audio load and make the sound design more enjoyable. Redesigned Classic Mode Economy and Cost: We have reviewed the cost of resources and actions. The cost of hiring a worker, waging war, and the blessing of "Svarog" is now just 1 coin. The cost of building a farm is now 3 coins. These changes are aimed at encouraging more active interaction and strategic planning. Spawn in Settlements has been reduced by 50%, making the game more balanced and giving players more room to maneuver. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where a tree blocked the construction of a farm.

Many players experienced negativity, not understanding the process of the game itself and what needs to be done, we decided that the classic version of the game will allow users to enjoy the game completely, easing the complexity and relaxing and enjoying the game other innovations: instead of the usual "esc" when you press in the game, there will be a menu for settings (be careful, the game is not paused) the volume of the music is lowered by 50% and too high sounds are also removed. thanks to all winter players for contributing to the game!
