I know that may be a deal-breaker for some people. I know that there are some people that are really unhappy about that and I understand and I respect that. But this really was the best thing for the ga

"When we did beta testing last year, people were jumping in the game, playing the game and we got excellent feedback...We're really taking it to heart. So, one of the things we realized is that we frankly needed more time on the game...We realized we needed more runway, more financial support to finish the game. We went out and talked to a number of potential partners, there were some really interesting offers, but honestly the one that we thought was best for the game was going with Epic and being on the Epic Games St

Overall, it seems that Human Head Studios was happy with Epic's offer as they think it will make Rune II better. The developers have opened up a page where players who pre-ordered the game on Steam can get refunds. That being said, those who decide to keep their pre-order following this change will receive an extra copy of the game upon its lau

If you want to see Human Head Studios' Chris Rhinehart explain the name change and Epic Games Store exclusivity in more detail, you should watch the aforementioned video below. Rune II only has a vague "Summer" release window, though we do know it will be an Epic Games Store exclusive when it launches for

While you may be peeved by the Epic Games Store exclusivity, it is worth noting that Rune II looks even better now than it did when we last saw it in 2018. That being said, it's still poised to be the open world successor to the original Rune with 4-player support that many are expecting. It is worth noting that Human Head Studios has confirmed that Rune II will be playable offline if multiplayer games aren't your thing. You can see the improved graphics in the brand new Rune II screenshots be

By interacting with the seed, you'll be able to water it. Watering a seed often is key to making sure it continues to grow, and it is possible to overwater a seed. You'll be able to use various forms of water and can choose how many units to use to make sure the bar stays in the green to keep the plant as healthy as possible. Using dirty or salt water on the plant will increase its irrigation, but also lower its overall vitality as the water isn't clean . Luckily, even dirty water can be boiled to make it safer for players and plants.

Once you load up Once Human and create your first character, you'll be faced with an important decision - you can choose between either a PvE server or a PvP server . There are some key differences between the two which should impact your decision, especially if you're playing alone or if you plan to jump into the game with a pre-existing guild.

Later on during the season, full scale guild v guild combat can take place. These are full-on battles with dozens of players on each side fighting over territory control and important late-game resources.

Players in Once Human Survival guide Human will be managing their hunger and thirst, able to take care of both with varying methods. A third aspect of the character to manage is their sanity , which will quickly go down by eating bad food or drinking dirty water.

Human Head has assured that Rune II is coming along well in development, but the biggest thing looming over players' heads right now is the Epic Games Store exclusivity. Unlike some developers of Epic Game Store exclusives, Human Head's CEO and Co-Founder Chris Rhinehart did take the time to explain the decision. Outside of Human Head's history of working with Epic Games on the original Rune, Chris Rhinehart explains t

"This privacy policy is problematic because it lacks clarity, transparency, and appears to over-collect personal information without sufficient justification or safeguards for user privacy. Regularly, privacy policies should prioritize user consent, data security, limited data collection, and clear communication of data usage purposes," one review said. The biggest issue for users is the lack of honesty and transparency on the developer's part, even though NetEase and Starry Studios have collectively published a statement (via Steam ) in an attempt to iron out these concerns. Starry Studios isn't the only company facing backlash for data privacy issues recently, with Insomniac becoming a victim of data leaks not long

When planting a seed into Loamy Soil, players can also choose to add a fertilizer to speed up how fast the plant grows. After planting the seeds, players will need to worry about the light and water of the seedlings. Outdoors, plants will get no light at night, and 100% natural light during the day . This setup will have plants growing faster during the day and slower at night but is overall a good setup in terms of lighting.

As a solo player, this might be frustrating, as the grind needs to begin again. Generally, these sorts of seasonal wipe models are preferential towards groups of players who can quickly grind up the required resources.
