The HinterLands PC Version ready for download!

The Free PC version is ready for download. Let me know when you want to see the paid!

Waiting for approval through Amazon for their PC app store.

Steam Greenlight isn’t looking positive – only about 25% “yes” votes, no one is apparently interested in further development on the game on PC 🙁

•• Bugs ••
• World format: needs to be changed, to optimize network, allow boss areas/ scripting, and allow more biomes+bigger worlds
• Lighting system was too slow, so has been cut down and needs to be redone
• Multiplayer movement needs to be changed to look smoother

The game is still in alpha, because there is so much still that we want to add.
There are only 2 of us working on it, but we appreciate everyone who plays the game, helps contribute by finding bugs, adding ideas, suggestions and feedback

Please leave feedback, have friends play with you, and be a part of helping an indie game grow! Let us know what you want added first!

•• Free Version vs Paid ••
We want to have everyone be able to play the game, both to try it out, and for people who can’t invest in its development yet. The Paid version has a much bigger inventory (80 vs. 20), and each character also starts with a “Backers Reward”, which allows you to teleport to and from your spawn point. We hope you help fund development, but understand if you can’t.
