Summary

  • The Forever Winter, a survival shooter developed by Fun Dog Studios, has undergone a major update addressing key player complaints concerning the extraction of water, which drained even when the game was not being played.
  • In the updated version, water has been transformed into a currency used to access different entry points to the game’s maps.
  • Entry points are priced with an RNG (random number generator) range, meaning that water is now also tradeable between players.
  • The change came about because players disliked that water drained in real-time, causing stress when playing the game.
  • The update also includes new features such as rebalanced enemy spawning, a rework of guns and gunplay, and a new map featuring a fiery stone staircase.
  • Fun Dog Studios’ water rework is intended to elicit a feeling of unease and insecurity in players, in keeping with the permawar theme.
