A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

2D survival/sandbox with open world. I don't want to copy another games of the genre, i have very many ideas to implement in the project. Now Zendes contains dynamic trees that growing up in real time. There is already two ways to make time go very fast: sleep, reconstruction.

For create tools, weapon and other items you need to create crafting table.

Crafting table creation (Single recipe you have to remember):

This recipe uses old crafting system that now available only in inventory UI. Crafting table used new system.

But, how to get ingredients? Use left mouse button to break tree branches (Don't repeat it in real life!) .


To make one planks block - place 4 sticks in one crafting slot.

Tip: if you leave tree stumps, it will regenerate back after some time.

PLEASE FUCKING HELP!! I TRIED ALL OVER BUT THE JAR FILE DOESN'T RUN, IT JUST KEEPS DISSAPEARING!!

This is small observation on the bug for becoming invisible if your invisible for long enough maybe it could be perhaps traveling up too fast don't think that's the case however it crashes.

I like the game but it lacks guidance or the ability to have self guidance on some parts.And as far as the visuals goes its awesome.I especially like the weather and the night time backgrounds.I understand this is a beta so i wont go on in terms of content.As far as a beta game goes 7/10.Those who wish for a realistic and harsher opinion 5/10 lacks a better form of combat and the whole no tutorial thing makes it not user friendly.Their also the fact that if you cant find coal going underground is pain staking as their is a lack of light.At most you get the light from the surface peering through the ladder.So you have to get lucky on finding coal at least during day time.Those bats/flying creatures are the other form to getting coal but that appears at night time.(bugs)At times the Player goes invisible while climbing ladders.If you move right or left on a ladder you clip through walls.

(+1)

So to help anyone who plays and finds the path to the furnace go grab coal and what you plan to smelt and rmb with a torch with the bottom part of the furnace.Don't let the furnace get too hot so don't put too much coal or else.....kaboom.....regardless hopefully this helps you.
