Now, in another change of strategy, Starry Studio has seemingly reversed course when it comes to cosmetics. In a statement posted to Twitter , the studio outlined the upcoming changes, as well as a timeline for them to take eff

The five aspects of your body that you'll need to keep watch over are your energy, oxygen, hunger, thirst, and sanity. Sanity in particular is driven by Stardust contamination. Insanity will lower your maximum health, and you will need ways to get your sanity back up.

Another player referred to the game as an " identity theft speedrun ," a sentiment echoed by others who quickly compared it to spyware. Some users even reported that when they booted up the game, other programs were also opened in the background of their

We also recognize that cosmetics being tied to individual characters can be frustrating. We plan to make all purchased cosmetics accessible across multiple characters within the same account by August. If you have already purchased the same cosmetic on different characters within the same account, we will refund the consumed Crystgin or other in-game currency for the additional purchases Once Human guide the cosmetics are account-w

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

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

In terms of a permanent offline mode, I think this should probably just be the norm for survival crafters going forward. A lot of people like to relax on these games. Building, grinding, farming mobs. Nightingale was rightfully criticized for being always-online during its launch, and a couple of months later the developers released a single-player offline version. But it was too little, too l

I’m speculating that Once Human will have an excellent launch on Steam - it’s a shiny new free-to-play game after all - but those numbers will start to slip after the first server wipe. And then slip some more after the next one, and so on. Once Human needs to have the unbelievable sticking power of Rust to contend with its rivals. The main issue is that a six-week wipe is a lot longer than a three-week wipe. Rust is temporary, ephemeral - progress always comes and goes. But Once Human is a much longer, hard-fought slog. People will only stick around if they feel like it's worth it. And whatever else the game does well, it’s going to have to do it extremely well to keep people coming back every six we

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

Fruit Tea is a great consumable to craft and take with you because it can restore 400 points of sanity and 50 points of hydration . It only requires a cup of water and two flowers to make. The downside is that this expires after 24 hours .

It's also a positive sign that Netease is listening to player feedback, as it's the second response they've given within the first 24 hours of Once Human's launch. Shortly after the game became available, players were disappointed to learn that they could only ever create one character , and that character would be permanently locked to a single server. Starry Studio quickly rectified that issue, confirming in their official Discord that "multiple-character creation is now availab

You are free to explore the secrets of a post-apocalyptic wasteland in Once Human . In this survival-horror MMORPG, you'll have a vast world with various areas to investigate and quests to complete. You will need to gear up in order to fight off different hostile enemies, all the while ensuring you have the necessities to survive.

Regardless of what's transpired, it's refreshing to see a company not only take swift action, but also be as responsive as possible. Based off the word of people like Pirate Software, there's a good game hidden in there and fan feedback can help bring that out. Only time will tell, though, if gamers will have enough patience to see that thro

"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
