Is there a map of the world? This would help exploring it. Combing through the game files, all I could put together are these three hight maps. But I have no idea where the spawn or the waterline is... Could you please help me with that?

Note: The real height map would be over 80 MB, so this is just a small, quality reduced, 3 MB jpg of the real thing.

There was a dynamic map that showed an icon for your position, but the entire world changed so I need to remake the map. 

The starter area is a pretty straight forward strip of land along the coast.  Going past the boundaries into undeveloped land and getting lost, like at the Lake on top of the mountain that you can't drink from because it's way out of the starter area shouldn't be able to even happen, but that's because I forgot to "invisible wall off" the starter area.

Thought so, as I saw the old windstone versions from a few years back.

Could you add a red dot to the height map i posted that tells me where the spawn is? I'm just curious.

If you zoom in, you can see the river delta to the right of the spawn area.


Thanks.

(For some reason i was looking for it in the north of one of the islands the whole time - obviously I couldn't find it there...)

Did I miss out on any of the main locations while testing?

I found 5 houses, the dragon egg, the loot bundles behind each of the two waterfalls, four types of hostile mobs (chrimp, peacock, wolf and tardigrade - i know they are named differently but i like how close they are to reality, so that is what they are to me), a glowing flower and a lot of different mushrooms (which i did not all eat yet)

You found pretty much everything. The border you outlined is nearly perfect and I'm in the process of blocking off the region completely. It will be visually blocked by impassable mountains with invisible walls also in case you find your way through. Blocking off the water immersively will be a bit more of a challenge. Possibly might add extreme cold so you'll freeze to death if you go to far. (You'll have time to go back to shore once you realize you are freezing to death) As new regions open up, passes in the mountains and rock formations will open up to make the new areas accessible. Once all regions are open, the dragon will grow to "rideable" size.  I may figure out a way to do that sooner before all regions open. It's a tough one. I don't want to just have invisible walls in the sky to fly into, but that may be the case.

One thing you may have missed. There are 6 cabins total. 5 locations (one has two cabins)

There are also 3 caves with loot (not including the one with the dragon egg) and I'm going to add a handful more to the starter region in the next update. 

Thank you again for all the playtesting and feedback. I've comprised a list of many things to work on and hope to have an update soon.

Man, I'm already looking forward to that :)

The mechanics are already there and you could fly the dragon in a previous version. I am going to remodel the dragon and add more attacks before flying is reimplemented.
