: Sleeping in the rain will now wake your character up unless they are in a tent or under a roof.
The “verified” status of Build 38 is the true hero of this story. The Indie Stone had spent years in the shadow of a notorious 2011 laptop theft that leaked an unstable build. By marking Build 38 as stable, they proved they could deliver a technically complex, animation-driven system without game-breaking bugs. For a community scarred by delays, this was a covenant. Build 38 was the proof of concept that their ambitious vision for Build 41 (NPCs, multiplayer, 3D characters) was not a fantasy.
Also verified: This was the build that added in the inventory. For the first time, you could see your character wearing that spiffo backpack in a small render window. It was revolutionary. It was cozy.
It was Muldraugh, Kentucky. But it was wrong.
