Hello!

Today we want to talk about what we are working on at the moment and what we have planned for Avani. We are hoping that we can stick to our plan for weekly updates for the most part but might need a bit longer for certain features as they are simply to big to be accomplished in a single week.

Flying Creatures - Pteranodon

As of writing this devlog we are animating and coding the first flying creature in Avani: a Pteranodon. Here are some first screenshots on the current stage of the Pteranodon.

We are planning to release the Pteranodon in the next updates.

New Map

We always wanted a map with different sections, biomes and landmarks to give the player more reasons to explore. With more content coming in to the game we now actually have the chance to fill more than just section with different content.  In the early days that content simply did not exist yet. Now that we slowly get to a point where we have enough flora and fauna to support multiple different biomes it is now increasingly getting an objective to do just that. Therefore we are planning on creating a complete new map as the game progresses. We definitely don't want to rush that decision though and spend time on carefully designing the new map.

Underwater Update

In near future we want to work on improving the water in general. At the moment the water doesn't look good and you can't even do anything with it besides gathering water with a pot. We want to add a swim feature as well as give it more uses and add an underwater life.

Stone Buildings

As you most likely have already seen in our work-in-progress Discord channel we are going to add new buildings made out of stone very soon! At the time being they only offer more creative freedom but will have actual uses soon!

More

While working on those major features the health of the game is of course as usual very important to us and we will continue to release bug fixes and add small quality of life improvements. We are very happy for any feedback we can get from you, our players, and love to hear your suggestions and let you be part of the development!

As we are a small developer team consisting out of only two people and we are devoting most of our resources on the actual development rather than one marketing we would really appreciate if you would tell your friends about Avani and help us spread the word around! If you want to stay updated, then make sure to join our discord and take a look in the news and work-in-progress channel :).

Enjoy playing Avani: The Primal Land!
