After a small maintenance release last night, this one is our latest full update. This one is full of tweaks and adjustments, including monster speed, how you transition between chunks, how the auto-potions work, how potions work in general, and how offensive spell cooldowns work. Check out the release notes for full details. More coming…
This one is actually our second beta update since 0.500 came out yesterday, but the first update was so puny it wasn’t worth a news post for. Yesterday was a busy, busy day — and a really incredible day. The amount of support and excitement for A Valley Without Wind is pretty incredible! Today was…

Perhaps more interesting to more people are the forcefield changes: the blocking effect that was removed in the last patch is now back, but the various other forcefield improvements from the last patch have been retained: regarding…
It’s been a couple of weeks since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work! No video this time, but I wanted to tell you about a few things that are new or altered in the game, since we’re getting close to public beta. We’re hoping to hit that stage in about another week…
