Lay of the Land 0.17.0 The Mushroom Swamp Update Part 3
Added 2025-10-17 01:12:23 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
The The Mushroom Swamp Update Part 3 is here and brings a new boss, many fixes and various improvements.
I hope you enjoy the update and thank you all so much for the support and I hope you enjoy the game :)
New Boss
You can find a new boss in the Mushroom Swamp biome. The Deathcap. This giant ferocious mushroom will bite, leap and vomit acid onto its foes. Also, beware the poisonous mushrooms growing on its cap. These release a poisonous gas cloud when launched.
The Deathcap can be summoned under a giant tree using a Mycelium Sigil, pieces of which can be found in structures throughout the Mushroom Swamp Biome.
Please note that the Deathcap, related items and arena will only appear in newly created worlds.

2025-10-20 01:29:19 +0000 UTCGood stuff man! You got this dude, keep it up! I apologize if here isn't the place for this, but I have a very small request - would it be possible for you to set the default volume levels to 50%? 100% is *very loud*, and people with sensitive ears might be turned off a bit.

2025-10-19 13:03:23 +0000 UTCI loved the game from what I'd played and it was definitely more than 6 hours. I would love to be able to build a boat and see what's across the ocean! Or even just ride it around while looking for somewhere to make my next cave/beachfront! The amount of time I'd spent just designing and tinkering was so worth getting this. I can't wait to see all the future updates!

2025-10-17 20:00:01 +0000 UTCI still can't get this to run on Linux, Bazzite. Upon running the .sh file the game starts up briefly and immediately closes.
