Keplerth Development Update: Exciting New Features and Improvements on the Horizon

The development team behind the indie game Keplerth has issued a much-anticipated update regarding the game's progress and upcoming features. After a period of silence, the team has been diligently working on both new content and enhancements to support the Steam Workshop, which has required significant code refactoring.

In the next update, expected within the next one to two weeks, players can look forward to the introduction of language mod support, alongside other types of mod support in the near future. The developers have acknowledged that the complexity of upcoming features may affect the frequency of updates, but they remain committed to ongoing development and appreciate the community's patience.

New Content Highlights:

• A user interface (UI) scale option and keybinding settings have been added for better customization.
• New content in the form of underground levels 15-19 has been introduced, featuring a fresh boss, new mobs, weapons, and armor, as well as a trap system that increases the game's challenge.
• Teleport portals will now be available in the game, enhancing exploration with randomly generated portals in unexplored areas.
• Additional resources and plants, including various ores and new flora, have been incorporated into the underground environment.

Adjustments and Optimizations: The update also includes several adjustments aimed at improving gameplay. These include optimization of game animations and textures for smoother performance, as well as restrictions on interacting with mobs and chests through walls. The developers have made cooking more streamlined by allowing raw mushrooms to be used directly without prior roasting.

Ongoing Development Plans: The roadmap for future updates includes a variety of features in various stages of development, such as NPC interactions, trading systems, and the introduction of weather and events systems. While some features are still in the planning phase, others are actively being worked on, providing players with a glimpse of what to expect in the future.

The Keplerth team has expressed their commitment to maintaining transparency about their progress and will strive to provide regular updates. They thank their community for their continued support as they work on enhancing the game experience.
