🌑 Nightfall — Version 1.1 Update #1 is HERE!

We're not done. We're just getting started. Update #1 brings the world to life in a whole new way — chop trees, equip tools, manage your gear, and feel the weight of every swing. The survival experience just got a serious upgrade. 🔥

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is currently a BETA version yet. The game will load you directly into the world. This is a known early access limitation and will be addressed in a future update. Thank you for your patience!

⚙️ New Systems Added

• InventoryItem — Items are now smarter than ever. Supports item selection that locks dragging, consumable effects, and quick-slot equip logic with available space checks.
• TrashSlot — Done with an item? Toss it. A confirmation popup keeps you from accidentally throwing away something important.
• EquipSystem — Quick Slots are now always on your screen — no need to open your inventory. Equip items and see their 3D model appear in your hand instantly.
• EquipableItem — Equippable items now have full animation support and a dedicated hit function for interacting with the world.
• ChoppableTree — Trees now fight back (sort of). Each tree has its own health, interaction range, chopping permission, and costs you calories every swing. Chop it down and watch it fall.
• ResourceHealthBar — See exactly how much health a resource has left while you're working on it.
• GlobalState — A global system that tracks and stores the state of world resources, keeping everything in sync.

⚡ Improved & Updated

• DebugInformationSystem — Press F2 to pull up live debug info: render pipeline, player state, held item, and speed lines emission. A developer's best friend.
• InventorySystem — Now features a full item info UI reference, pickup popup system, item list recalculation, crafting requirement refresh, and quantity-based item removal.
• PlayerState — Health, calories, and hydration now have clean setter functions, making it easier for the whole game to control your stats reliably.
• SelectionManager — Now tracks whether the hand icon is visible, supports full tree chopping interactions, and can be toggled on and off cleanly by other systems.
• CraftingSystem — Now properly manages cursor visibility and disables world selection and raycasting while the crafting menu is open, restoring everything cleanly on close.
• ItemSlot — Now fully quick-slot aware, recalculating the inventory list after every item drop.
