A 'fundamental' update for this 34-year-old survival game is coming in October
Are you ready to make some socks?
A groundbreaking update for the 34-year-old survival game UnReal World is set to arrive this October. The game, which launched in 1992, is renowned as the first open world survival game and holds a Guinness World Record for its achievement. Creator Sami Maaranen has no intention of ceasing updates, stating that with each completed feature, two more await him.
The upcoming update will introduce significant clothcrafting enhancements, featuring complex garments that take days to craft. Materials for these garments are scarce and expensive, as demonstrated by a screenshot in the patch notes showing a character named Heta bartering for nine feet of linen cloth. This is not a simple game of obtaining materials and swiftly creating clothing; the process is laborious and time-consuming.
The developer has expressed his fondness for the characters spending evenings or short winter days crafting garments, honing their clothcrafting skills, and the satisfaction of creating quality clothing. A favorite quote from the patch notes highlights Heta's dedication: she spent several moonlit evenings making socks for herself, with only a few more evenings needed before she can put them on.
UnReal World is available on Steam, and more information about the upcoming update can be found in the full announcement.
