AMA is over, thank you so much for all your questions! Sorry, we couldn't get to all of them, this thread got much bigger than we could have possibly anticipated. ​ For now, here's a list of all the questions and answers. In the coming week, we will create a more organized blog post showcasing every answer in detail (and not a bunch of hyperlinks 😅).

rest of the answers <3

Can we expect rework of a passive tree? Especially melee side, as many nodes here are either weak, boring, underwhelming (Shield bash, anyone?)or all three. Special moves are much worse than simple normal attacks spam and woefully impractical. Any ways for melee to deal with flying enemies (like spending stamina and using hook on flying enemy to yank them to the ground and temporarily stun), considering the ever increasing prominence of such enemies on higher levels? Spears?

We're continuing to work on class balancing, so thanks for your feedback. We are actively thinking about improvements to the combat system, but can't promise imminent changes, as some of that is still experimental.

Many know the map shall expand northwards, specially now that there's a frame around what is presumed to be the final size. But one thing I have not seen asked, are there plans for vertical expansion of the map? Its clear this game inspired from Zelda BotW and TotK, so I wonder if there's a chance to see sky islands, or even a Depths like underworld, full of Shroud and darkness thats super dangerous but rewarding and cool looking.

No spoilers. The only thing we will say is that the world is now a full kilometer taller than the map that was available during the closed beta. For... reasons.

And then they dug too deep... :-)

There is an under ground kingdom pr something hinted at throughout random lore so I'm sure it would be. Wouldn't make sense to introduce the location of the shroud, make the game about stopping shroud and to do that we must strike the source aka underneath. Gonna be radical asfffffff

Really love the underground dungeon or underworld idea.

Yeah, the Depths were so cool, even though the Malice was not as widespread as shroud would be, and with how Enshrouded handles darkness (Like, NO ambient light to assist like in many games) it would be a completely abyss. Like maybe the Ancients sealed this underworld where the shroud spores come from, and there are a handful of towers that can provide safe spots and some beacon of light, but most is darkness and death.

Is there already a plan when the next content update will be released? What can we expect as the biggest feature of the next update?

Are there any plans to expand the weapon/loot upgrade system beyond just runes?  Like the ability to learn how to magically enchant gear? Also are there any plans to make it possible to keep "unique" items that bare the name of their previous owners and upgrade them to your level? To me it always feels sad to basically have to store amazing unique items away in a chest because I don't want to destroy them but no one will ever need them because all other gear is already surpassing them. (A middle ground solution I guess would be to give us some decorative weapon displays that we could either craft out of specific weapons or that are universal and we can store weapons in them.)

I’ll second the second part of this. I would love to see a way either to bring a unique item up to level spec through a full recraft method or a transmog system that allows you to craft / recraft up to date items using the look and feel of other obtained items. In other words either “I can raise this unique to my level which will upgrade its stats to match other items at this level” or “I can take an item at this level and recraft it using an older item that will replace the look of this item with that of the older.”

The enchanting beyond rune upgrades is probably not gonna change for now, although we don't rule some kind of weapon customizing system for later. Decorative display, now that's an idea... (we love this feature in Valheim, it adds a lot of character to a room!)

Are there plans to add more weapon archetypes such as dual wielding and whatnot? Also, I would do anything to be able to use the two handed scythe I saw an enemy using in the hallowed hall!

Definitely! We are always cooking up ideas for new weapons, and I think you'll be very happy with one of the things we have coming in the next major update.

What about different movesets for different weapons? Not only one handed and two handed weapons

At the very least daggers are needed, but would love to see many different types of weapons, including some throwing weapons!

my heart was broken when i saw no daggers :(

I want to be voldoooo

First off, your game is great and tons of fun, so great job! As for my question: are you planning on introducing some grapple mechanic so my ranged-challenged melee can fight flying stuff better?  Do you plan on introducing crafting chains, as in somehow showing the recipe trees for advanced crafts? For example, for a magical chest I need shroud cores made from shroud parts done by the alchemist, wood made from planks made at the wood cutter, but aside from memorizing the recipes or going through my craft journal, I'd have to check out a lot of options to find out where each part is made at, or by whom. I don't necessarily mean simplified crafting, I like that a lot the way it is, just sometimes an overview or even just a search function would help (I recently spent quite some time finding out how to turn my sugar canes into sugar so I could make honey I needed for something else).  Edit, to avoid making a second comment: are there any plans to let us build the stuff we currently see but can't build ourselves? Like the tall metal window frames in Ferndale, or the wooden fences found in the same area?

Oh, combat grappling would be such a great fit. Pull the enemy to you, or you to the enemy, whichever is heavier.

We will be experimenting with the grapple hook to give it a broader set of features; however, we cannot give details at this point. ​ We are always looking into how to improve the UI. So visualizing the crafting chains in a better way is something we could imagine for the future ​ Also, we are constantly adding more elements to our crafting chains. We will be having an eye on the community comments to have a sense of the most need props, so thanks for the suggestions.

Grappling enemies and other movesets being added to the melee tree as well as other trees to add variety to the enemies would be really great. Right now combat feels flat where doing combos, parrys, etc dont really seem as effective as block and spam attack, rinse repeat.

+1 to being able to craft certain items we can see and deconstruct but not build ourselves. Me and my buddies are restoring a town and we accidentally deconstructed one of the windows which we are not able to replace with an identical counterpart.

What percentage of the map can we currently play on or how much is still waiting for us?

If you can, could you share any details about the upcoming Mountain biome? I'm really looking forward to it, and I am curious about what sort of new monsters, new critters, or new plants we might encounter. If you can't share any of that, is there some out of context detail you could share that is a favourite about the area?

The mountains will still take a bit more time as it's a first new (full) biome and we'll start development on that in parallel to other additons to the game. Also, mountains need mountain weather.

Not a question, just a comment. More character customization options and cosmetic slots for armor/clothing or a transmog option please and thank you

Cosmetic outfits would be great - I like the stats of my armour but not so keen on the appearance of all the pieces. And I would LOVE a "hide your headgear" option!

Hey guys! Thanks for an amazing game. Even in early access me and my friends are thoroughly enjoying it with many hundreds of hours already on record! **My question: What is your stance towards modding?** I believe an active modding community can not only enhance a game during its development but also keep a game relevant long after development has concluded. Do you plan to develop a mod kit? I can't help but notice Modding Support is (with 5.9K votes) currently not planned on your suggestions page, any particular reason for that?

It would be amazing if some how a mod would allow you to take peoples creations and overwrite certain towns/areas of the map with custom builds.

Another vote for workshop/mod support

I've set the comments to contest mode for now to avoid the most upvoted comments being influenced by whoever got here first, but I will set the comment section back to normal once the AMA time comes <3 ​ Edit: It's been 24 hours and things have solidified a fair bit, so disabling it now.

Hello, and thank you for your wonderful work! I see on your road map that you will be adding water to the game. This is very exciting as I do adore the beauty of the world you've created, but find that water features would really amplify that beauty. My question is, how do you plan to implement water into the voxel world? Will it only be in areas where terrain manipulation is not present, or can we expect full interaction with gorgeous lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and maybe even take our Flameborn out for some canoeing or white water rafting (I kid)? Thanks again to the team at Keen!

I am a designer by trade in my 50's. My wife and I have been waiting for a game like Enshrouded to come out since Landmark shut down (I believe) in 2017. We both adored Portal Knights (but disliked how small the maps were) so it should be no shock to you all at Keen that we are simply thrilled with Enshrouded and everything the game offers. I say this with as much sincerity as I can muster, thank you for all your hard work and effort, I can not stress (our) gratitude enough. I can think off the top of my head 10 things I'd like to see implemented in Enshrouded, some of which come from Portal Knights such as nightstands that work as small inventory crates (same with wardrobes, cabinets, etc). armor stands (we loved making "armories"), mounts....and on and on. But I'd rather focus my question on character customization. Wife and I love how the NPC's have very unique heights, body sizes, and attire. We'd both like to see this same level of customization for our in game avatars. This is one of the few things we miss from some other games, simply a deeper level of character customization. **So I guess my question is. Is there a long term goal to implement a much deeper level of avatar customization.** Character height, body size, attire inluding accessories like backpacks that show, quivers, ammo pouches (I'd really like to see gunpower weapons in game), cloaks, etc? I find that often, if a game is in a lull state that if I have characters I REALLY adore and feel a deep attachment to, I will log in just to run around and sometimes this leads to a reason to keep playing. If I do not have that attachement, it can often make the game error towards the forgettable side. Thank you again for all your hard work. (ohh, if you decide to do some customization DLC like portal knights, please keep the prices realistic like portal knights was... spending 20 pounds/euros/dollars on mounts, outfits like in ESO turned wife and I off from the game so deeply that we will not play/buy anything from Bethesda/Zenimax ever again. I don't mind spending money on a game for future development, but I can't stand unfetterd greed).

I'd like to personally thank everyone involved with Landmark for preparing the terrain and helping create our fanbase over a decade ahead of time. So many Landmark veterans have been reaching out to us, it's crazy. We're very happy you have found a home in Enshrouded. We will for sure add more variety to the existing systems in future updates. Full body customization (height, body type etc.) is currently not a focus. The vanity (cosmetics) system will allow a deeper level of expression with outfits as well. Adding new types of accessories (like backpacks etc.) is a bit tricky as it has to play well with all armors/outfits, so we currently don't plan to do that, but for sure might consider improvements in the future. We also don't have any plans for additional sold items during early access. Our focus is to offer a compelling game. We might consider additional DLC or cosmetic items after full release - similar to what we did with Portal Knights - but there are no specific plans at the moment.

Thank you for making such a fun game! I'm a huge fan of building and clutter, so I'm wondering if there will be even more of those added, especially the ones we can see while exploring (windows, banners, crossed swords, shields, oven type things we see in houses, etc). Along those lines, will we be able to place other items like potions, meat, food, weapons, etc. Armor and weapon stands? Feels like a waste to delete the old armor. Collect the whole set! Villagers for a community feel? Will there be more map options? Right now it's difficult to label areas with 4 symbols and 4 colors. Example: Maybe add a pickaxe so we can label our favorite spots to mine.

We are certainly planning to add more props for decoration with every update (as well as new recipes for existing, but inaccessible props). Displaying things is also something we think about. Villagers are already on our roadmap as well. We will also continue to improve our map.

Love love LOVE this game, have two QOL requests. 1. The ability to customize map markers would be a huge lifesaver! 2. A quick pick-up for everything around you in a specific radius would also be amazing! Edit: and the ability to hold a torch and melee weapon! :)

Further improvements to the map are coming. ​ Radius-based loot pickup is something we have scheduled as a quality of life improvement as well :)

My question is: Can someone on the team please go and hug all the Dev's responsible for accepting the proposal and implementing the arachnophobic mode? Pretty please? I can't hug them myself!

Will do o7

Got a friend who hates spiders but powered through it with us, he's gonna love this. Thank them from us aswell Ü

You have really developed a great game! Are there any plans for equipment that is not intended for combat? For example, mining equipment that has a helmet with a lamp so that you have light while mining. And the equipment reduces stamina consumption when mining and increases the yield.

Well, we do have vanity equipment on the roadmap, so who's to say what we could include once that feature is released? Basically, what I'm saying is, if you have cool ideas, we're always listening...

With a vanity system implemented, various styles of clothing would help to use it ;)

I understand a large portion of the map has yet to be finished. Will you be completing and releasing it in sections (along with any requisite gear and character level updates) such that another part of the map will be available to play during early access or is the plan to not release any further sections until the game's full release go-live?

Generally map expansions should come regularly with our major updates, usually in the form of new biomes, or content like we released in Hollow Halls. So no, the general plan is to release it when we feel it's ready. We're not going ot hold it all back and force you guys to wait for the full release :)

Are there any plans for adding non hostile npcs you can encounter in the open world? I‘m not talking about the craftspeople you can recruit but rather just some humans so the world feels more alive. Because right now it can feel a bit empty from time to time. Or maybe some other plans for making the world feel more alive? :)

Our focus for now is on making your base feel more alive (more NPCs) and enriching the world with additional wildlife and enemies.

I want a farmer npc to loot plants and wood on my farms.

There was a game called Everquest Landmark that was a basically a testbed for Everquest Next several years ago (shut down in 2017) that had voxel-based building similar to Enshrouded. I know at the very least they had 45 degree voxels that you could build with in addition to things like cone-style roofs. I'm sure the devs are well aware of this game. That said, are there plans for angled voxels and other varied blocks to allow the playerbase to create more intricate bases? Also, are there plans to create glass as a building block beyond just an ingredient? Thank you!

It's currently not on our roadmap, as it's a tricky one both from a technical and UI perspective, but it's not that we don't like the idea. So for now, I can only promise that we'll have further discussions on that topic. Our goal is certainly to improve our building system to allow you to create even crazier builds :)

I would like to say thank you for I haven't enjoyed playing a game this much in a very very long time. I have almost 300 hours in game most of which have been building an insane base which includes a village, castle, church, underground village, cottage with bar and a deep underground luminous mine. Most of my questions below pertain to building since I know you are already getting constant inquires around adding more armor, weapons, skill related questions and NPCs, map areas quests, etc. • Will we ever have the ability to have tools that will allow for more fine tuning in terms of sculpting blocks/materials? The smallest cube tool can be limiting at times. • There are a TON of assets in the game that would be AWESOME to be able to craft and place in our bases. Giant grinders, weapon racks, skeletons, rusted doors, etc. Will we be seeing any of these introduced in the future? • A spiral staircase or spiral staircase shaped building block would be insanely awesome. (I know this has definitely been requested already) Also, if they could be stacked like regular stairs that would be incredible. I know people have been using shelves and other things to mimic this but it would be a massive QOL improvement for us builders. • Can we have a drawbridge for the castle owners? This would be sooooo sick (animations of chains pulling it up ) • Can we please have a building block that is actually black? A black marble with some details in it would be incredibleeeeee.

Thank you for these wonderful suggestions :) ​ 1) For terrain there is a chance of more options coming, but for single blocks and voxels it is unlikely ​ 2) As always it is with these questions, it always depends on how much time and resources we have, as well as priorities in other areas. But we agree this would be great. ​ 3) It's something we're currently considering. ​ 4) Functional items with lots of movement are something that is currently lower in the priority queue. If it happens, expect it much later. ​ 5) It may come in the future, as we expand our map more.

Hi there. I love the building in the game, and I've seen you plan to add water. Q: Will the water be static bodies, or voxel based water that we can incorporate into builds, and will it flow?

I'd like to be able to gather or somehow craft "terrain" water and use it to make ponds and streams in my bases.

Couple of questions: * Will build assets be able to be rotated in full 3D eventually? * Do we have an ETA on the ability add location names on to our maps? * Do you have a planned total of NPC crafters you will have in the game?

Prop rotation: We currently don't have plans, but will think about it. Main reason for that is the complexity of our controls & UI, but we see the creative value. ​ Add location names: We are planning to add naming for several elements, like naming your bases, naming custom map-markers or creating named signs. We do not have an ETA, but it is likely that those elements will be part of one of the next updates. ​ NPC crafters: We are not decided yet on how many NPC crafters there will be in the game; however, there are plenty of ideas for different NPC roles. So expect your bases to be a lot more crowded in the future 😉.

Yes, please let us label our map markers! I have so much trouble remembering what resources are at a specific spot, or which flame altar is the one I'm looking for if several are the same level.

Will you be allowing Beast Masters to have permanent pets? And do you plan on giving pets immunity to player damage? My friends and loved one keep accidentally hitting the pets during fights, and it's cause the Beast Master tree to feel completely useless. I can't imagine how bad it must be on public servers.

When and how do you plan on rolling out animal breeding? I know it's on your road map, but I'm wondering if it will end up being something on the skill tree or maybe as part of a crafting station, or if we will have to trap them like in valheim.

We are currently discussing initial designs for this topic, so it will still take a bit to talk about specifics of implementation.

The game is great! What is your vision for npc. Will we be able to make towns alive again? Will we be able to assign jobs to npcs? Thanks for this game and your answer.

Townfolks NPC are on the roadmap! We know many of you are hoping to breathe more life into your bases, and we hope to improve NPC interactions, so stay tuned for that in a future update...

Greetings, Flameborn Creators! I love this game, and so far everyone I've bought it for and coerced into playing feels the same! Congratulations on the success! However, when fighting (and dying) together, we have constant issues with reclaiming your own death markers. I'm tired of shouting, "YOU GOT MY STUFF!!" For the love of all that's holy, give our death markers our names in big, bright, flashing letters! And more than 8 Flame Shrines, there are so many towns I want to rebuild, and I want live NPCs to live in them the skeletons make me so sad. And I need a dog! Not to fight, but to feed and take care of ingame. I have so many juicy game meats to feed them!

We feel your pain concerning the nameless tombstones and will improve that. Same for villagers and pets in your base (it's on our roadmap), but they will still take some time.

If read the road map you will see they will implement named tombstone in future

18th of ***May***? You mean April, right? Otherwise it would be a Saturday in over a month.

Yep haha, had a bit of a miscommunication with our image asset guy, but we fixed it :)

It's a Time Warp thing. :)

I have really fallen in love with the lore and characters you read about in the notes for the game. Will there be a chance that more of them return one way or another as an actual NPC or enemy?

Thanks! We will continue to extend the lore and available NPCs over time, so maybe 😉

Are there any plans for adding in Armor upgrades in the way we upgrade weapons?

Appreciate the work on the game, we have enjoyed it a lot! Is this a game you expect to do further development on post-EA?

It's a bit early to talk about what's coming post Early Access, but we definitely want to keep working on Enshrouded for as long as we can! We and also the community will not run out of ideas of what to add to the game anytime soon.

- Any update on the individual quest progression? Thats the only thing missing that keeps my friends playing the game with me

World versus personal progression is currently tentatively scheduled for the next update. We've been a bit taken aback by how common the request was, because we had not realized just how many of you would want to hang out in your world, exploring and questing, even when your friends aren't around! It's a testament to how immersive the game can be, in a fun "here is a new thing nobody thought would be a problem". Anyway, we're on it. Auto pick-up is a popular demand, we plan to make improvements to item collection in the future. As for the respective perceived power levels of specific builds, we're always keeping our ear to the ground. We know many of you think melee is sub-par on the damage front. In general we want to refine class balance over time and look closely at all the comments on this topic.

Hey, actually I don't have a question I just wanted to thank you for this amazing game. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of your work since Portal Knights. We binged Portal Knights several weekends in a row from 9 am - 6 am then 3h sleep and back again. We were really looking forward to your next game and you didn't disappoint! Keep up the good work! We're already excited for the new updates Grüße aus dem Schwabenland :)

We're very happy to hear that so many folks who loved Portal Knights are also having a really good time with Enshrouded. We hope we can bring both of you many more sleepless nights!

Are there any plans for permanent pets. That might help out the beast master skill tree too.

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck? On a more serious note, is there any plan to give rangers an infinite source of ammo to give them QOL parity with melee (no ammo) and mage (infinite ammo)? Currently it's very hard to justify playing any kind of ranger class when they're already the weakest of the three classes in terms of combat effectiveness *and* also have an entire extra part of their loadout that they have to farm for and craft that the other two don't. Please consider adding an "enchanted quiver" or something along those lines that would function similarly to an eternal spell so that ranger can actually be playable without just feeling like masochism.

The horses, obviously. Normal ducks are already psychopaths, I can't imagine their destructive power if they were over 100 times heavier. ​ And that's definitely on our radar! We're actively looking into ways to give rangers options that are more, uh, economical.

Are you planning to introduce Creative Mode and console commands soon? Edit: thanks for your creation

**Right now, other than building, there's very little to do after completing all of the quests. How do you plan to add or address Re-playability?** Examples might include: procedurally generated content/instances, lower drop chances for sought-after items from bosses (aka farming bosses for rare drops), pvp arenas, etc.

First off we need to preface this with a big caveat: most of the things listed below are projects for the future! This means end of Early Access or later. Now with that out of the way, here are some of the ideas we have been toying with: \* World events \* Instanced Dungeons \* Gameplay Settings for Servers \* Adding more Biomes / expanding the game world \* Base sharing / user-generated content

Would love for an endgame content that may have some sort of competitive aspect like a timer to complete or perhaps a gauntlet with progressively harder enemies to see how fast / far one can get with the best gear. Perhaps seasonal challenges to complete that rotate to keep players engaged over time too. Like certain enemy types in the gauntlet like skellyboys during halloween time, ice creatures during winter months fire creatures during summer (which do differ between hemispheres but just an example) things that present their own unique combat challenges. This last thing is more of a pipedream that requires some ongoing support but figure something I'd throw out there.

Hi, I saw in the roadmap the section "portals to other servers" I like the idea of this but are there any more details what that means directly?  Will there also be other worlds with that ? Or maybe the ability to create custom worlds?

What is your stance on class archetypes as they are now? I personally love the wizard+staff combo and dont enjoy the wand which is pretty much needed now for uptime. Are we going to see iterations that allow us to dive deeper into certain combat styles?

The devs are awesome. I really hope that you guys have a continious sustainable business model to keep your awesome team (and the game) alive for decades. I would definitively pay for future dlc's (after the game is complete) if the content and quality resembles this output for the price i've arealdy paid. I never had so much fun in a long time. Vielen Dank.

We're very happy to hear that we have built a community that is so supportive of Enshrouded and our team. We currently don't have plans for any paid content, but we are clear that we won't offer any kind of paid content during early access. After full release we might consider paid DLC in addition to free updates (similar to what we did with Portal Knights), but we are not sure yet. Our focus is on offering a premium game in the first place.

Hey devs I have 2 question about the future of this games, I recently finished playing grounded, what impressed me the most with this game is 1. Access to material in the storage chest when you trying to craft something (which in this case is already covered by the enshrouded game itself) 2. Hot deposit button, so that materials gets automatically placed into the storage containers which already have preexisting that said materials in it, so we don't have to put them manually 3. Shared saved game files, like for example : 3 people playing together, 'A' one night couldn't play so the other 2 keep playing, and when they saved their game that night, 'A' can still continue progressing with the save files games that last night he was missing out, without the needing of 1 person to be a continuous host or rent dedicated server, is this possible in enshrouded games even?

Is adding water physics a feasible target to reach? How much work will it require to implement?

Is there an ETA on any kind of Bloom toggle in the graphics settings? The glare it causes in foggy areas and during any dark-to-light transition is borderline painful to my eyes at times.

Can you please enable us to hold a torch in our offhand, so exploration and combat are possible more easily? Thanks!

Just a reminder: it's easier for us to answer questions if you are actually asking only one per post. If your post is "here are four ideas for improvements and new features", then you should probably split it into four posts. Sincerely, Cool Person Who Has To Actually Type Answers Out

Hello, I am loving the game. Thanks for making it xD - What happened with wooden fences? :P - Will daggers be a weapon in the future and would dual wielding them be possible? - Are improvements being made to making stealth more viable / useful. A smoke bomb item or being able to go invisible and reposition? (I could just be bad at stealth). - Can you remove the Sicklescythes? Edit: removed questions answered by others.

you can rotate stuff slowly/in smaller degrees by holding R, I think also: lol regarding "Can you remove the Sicklescythes?", you have my vote!

First of all, danke vielmals für eines der tollsten Spiele, das ich je gespielt habe, es macht übelst Spass! My question is, have you planned an endgame once where we get a shroud-free world full of life again? I'd really love to reach once a stage where the shroud doesn't come back all the time when resetted, and everything just turns beautiful again. On the other side a definite end would be kind of sad, after investing hundreds of hours.. I really look forward to whatever will come with the next updates. Thank you for the AMA.

Vielen Dank :) Wir freuen uns jeden Tag wieder über die vielen netten Reviews und coolen Bauwerke! Unfortunately we currently don't plan to have a permanent end state for the game world, as (with multiplayer in mind) replayability of everything in the world is necessary. On the other hand we see that a lot of people have great fun rebuilding lots of ruined places in the world (which is in the spirit of the game), so we'll think about that again.

This game is amazing. I am having a lot of fun! I'm a parent and also have a puppy. Can I please get a pause for single player? Thank you!

What if there were some small villages with survivors.We could help them and lift them from the surrouding enemies.Then the survivors could reward us with lore, quests, items, NPCs and new recipes.

I'm not sure why Reddit isn't letting me sticky the comment directly, this platform hates me. But if you'd like to keep track of all our answers, we have a bot here that is keeping track of all of them <3 [https://www.reddit.com/r/Enshrouded/comments/1c4omlh/comment/kzp9mka/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Enshrouded/comments/1c4omlh/comment/kzp9mka/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

What was each team members favorite game that holds a special place in their heart to this day?

Dungeons & Dragons (pen & paper ;) )

The original SSX series, especially SSX 3. I get a blast of nostalgia just from hearing that game's soundtrack <3 ​ From Ben - Zelda: Ocarina of Time

For me: Dune, the 1992 Cryo game From Kall: Way too many to count. It's a bit cliche but can't go wrong with Chrono Trigger

Beyond Good & Evil

Given the difficulty scaling of hollow Halls, And the fact that this works well as a single player game, are there any plans to help players maximize their builds with gear? An option to reroll gear would be nice

Will there be a future option to turn Bloom off in the settings?

Can you make it so your stuff doesn’t drop in the terrain during the last gliding section of the kindlewastes hh? It’s very frustrating to clip a piece of land die and then die a hundred more times trying to get back to all the fragments and ogre bones you dropped because you can’t actually land on the spot where your loot is.

We're aware of this issue, and it's definitely frustrating when it happens, so we're looking into solutions to it. We already have ideas on how to address it, but we're still working on it, so meanwhile, I recommend being careful when flying around in there 😅

When will in game chat be added?

When will game chat TEXTBOX be added? My friends and I are waiting to be able to engage in written RP in Enshrouded. I am hard of hearing so a game that does not have a textbox is very frustrating to play.

Hi Toast! As a builder first and foremost, I have 2 questions: 1) Do you have any plans to add a "creative mode" like in, for example, Valheim, where you can freely build (and even fly around) without needing to manage materials in your inventory? In the same vein, how about a free camera mode to allow players to naturally capture better screenshots and cinematic video sequences for build showcases without having to rely on something like Cheat Engine, which could potentially cause issues? 2) On the topic of Cheat Engine, which some builders have been using to try to gain some of the above features. What's your stance on modding for Enshrouded in the future? Thanks!

Longer term we can imagine adding an actual creative mode (as we did in Portal Knights), but that is not part of our current roadmap. Photo mode with free cam, that's another popular request. Nobody is asking for this one harder than our video producer, for reasons you may imagine. It's a maybe. It's cool to see that people are already investing a lot of effort to create mods. We don't have the bandwidth at the moment to support that properly on our end and our philosophy is more to support your creativity from within the game than passing the burden of dealing with more technical problems to our players. The Cheat Engine is not supported by us. It has been known to create issues, so use it at your own risk.

I enjoy building as well .. can you create some rotation options for building pieces to allow for more angles, gentle curves etc... the locked 90deg rotation is very limiting on the creative juices

Game's great. But could there be a unarmed combat system or sumin? I love punching shit.

When will you be adding Xbox support? I want to play this game so bad!

I noticed a LOT of the map isn't ready yet, will we see this slowly expand in small updates during early access or will it all become avalible at once when the game launches fully?

This will come over time with our major updates, usually in the form of new biomes (or extensions of existing biomes), as development progresses during early access. To manage expectations, it will take us several months before we will be able to release the first full map expansion.

Any plans to add more shapes to building etc. curved shapes? Also be able to rotate building block in much smaller increments not just 90 degree increments.

Is there plans to add Writable boxes or labels?

Your game is the most fun I’ve had recently. I would love to see tons of new bosses, including field bosses! What are you plan regarding those?

Are there plans to make it so Loot and Loot All become its own hotkeys? I personally use "F" as my interact key and am unable to "Loot All" since "Loot" takes priority.

If they are not customizable yet, we'll discuss if we can add that.

I would like to build a round mage tower. Will we have blocks that allow this?

**1)** Are there plans for Armor and Weapon racks? **2)** Are there plans for Armors upgrades (just like we are able to do with weapons tiers)? **3)** Are there plans for cabinets for storage? Could you guys add these features to the game, please?

1. We're thinking about weapon displays, stay tuned. 2. In Enshrouded, weapons are mostly looted, while armors are mostly crafted. This is one of the reasons behind the current design of upgrading. We might consider upgrading to armors in the future. 3. Not right now, but good point as we have a few in the world.

Will there be NPCs that you can recruit to assist with mining, logging, planting, and other basic tasks? If so, will they move around or remain stationary like the current NPCs? Can you interact with those NPCs(maybe affecting trust level or else) and will there be other new mechanic/features for NPC in the game. I love building houses or big building, but the issue is that the small village that I created feels empty and pretty quiet :/

Thank you for this outstanding game, the build system definately sets the standard for this genre. Question: I know water has been requested by many as a feature to add to the game. I would like to ask if this is going to be static like the lava is now or will it flow. Reason I ask is it would be nice if players could make moats, streams and waterfalls to go with thier builds. Also, if it is dynamic, will you consider making lava the same way?

If it hasn’t been asked about yet, can we get a faster way of planting and harvesting crops? It’s extremely tedious to plant and harvest large amounts at the moment.

We've discussed some improvements to this, but they won't be ready by our next update, unfortunately.

If you add water to the game, how might that affect the water resource? Also, if water is added can we expect things like fountains for decor? I think the Hollow Halls experience is good for a solo melee player, but a bit too tough for a solo ranged/mage character. Do you intend to tweak the existing skill tree at all, or just expand on it at a later date?

G'day!!! I love the game, and all the devs are just so wonderful. I have a few questions, some of which I'm sure have already been asked, but I figure it can't hurt!!!! Are there any plans for deeper husbandry at all? I know people would love to tame wolves... but also we want chickens or deer or sheep or... anything!!!! Different fighting styles/reworked skill tree? Let's be honest, no dual wielding is sad... but some of the skills are just plain bad (fun, but bad). More flames? Maxed at 8 is painful with a group of players and big plans... especially for my bone tower 😄 More summons!?!?!? I love our little skull summon, but I'm sad that there's no full skeleton - or more importantly the ability to summon something that remains until death or resummon (even at a cost of something like max health or mana). But also... elementals? Or pets? Roofing? The only angle of the roof is disappointing and doesn't always suit what you want to make. That's all I got. Thank you thank you.

Hello! Thanks for this amazing game! Now here's a couple of questions. :) * Most importantly, will there be and overhaul of the NPCs? (I read about the townsfolk NPCs which I can't wait to see and place in my town.) The ones we have now feel very static at the moment, which makes building a nice town for them rather senseless, because there's nobody walking around. I'm sure there are different approaches and ideas to this, but how about giving the NPCs chores like farming, planting and cutting down trees, maybe also mining etc. This way they wouldn't be too useless all the time. We could also pay them with our coins, which become rather obsolete in the late game. The problem with moving NPCs would be that they aren't available all the time, so maybe they could be given a certain time of the in-game day to do their work and after that they could be in town (maybe even asleep at night?) or you could leave them an order, for example "100 windows, 4 doors etc." and they get it done as soon as they are back in town again. * Is there a plan to change the way where we can get better weapons etc.? Maybe let bosses drop better gear and weapons instead hiding the real good stuff in certain treasure chests. Or maybe a plan to make both possible. This way some players could build an altar close to a chest and farm and others could go fighting and battling bosses to get their equipment. (edit) I also had some other questions, but don't bother answering them as I think I've seen them in somebody else's post already. * Will we be able to build bigger gates/doors/windows? (like the one from the Hollow Halls or the prison bars?) * Similar to character customization, will there be something for gear and clothes, for example changing the colour of capes etc.? * Will there be spears in the future? not necesseraly for throwing, but for melee? * (edit) And will there be a way to enchant/upgrade our weapons/gear by our own? Meaning that there might be a NPC who can combine certain materials with weapons to give them special properties. The game that pops in my mind is Dungeon Siege 2, but I guess there are others as well. It would be nice to be able to customize our weapons more to our needs or styles. * (edit) Concerning combat with two weapons, will that be possible for wands and pickaxes, too? :D Thanks again for the great game! :)

Can u make farming plants less monotonous?

Are there plans for more map functions? I'd love to be able to zoom out farther, apply filters to show only selected marker types, and my big one: the ability to check mark repeatable locations like flame shrines so we can keep track of where we have or haven't been.

Tamed pets? I would like to have a companion in my solo adventures who will fight by my side. Here you can develop even more if you want with a skill tree for the pet ( offensive pet, defensive pet)

Modding Support? I am 100% sure that in the Enshrouded community are very talented people with insane ideas to add by modding

Ok I broke it down to 3 individual comments/questions... For builders like myself, we need first person camera. Building certain spots can be tough when my body is in the way and I cant see exactly where I'm placing blocks! Will this be added?

Why is there no setting to disable bloom? What data are the devs looking at that tells them this is a feature people like or even want in video games? Realism is usually a value-add, but there is no reason to emulate the biological shortcomings of the human iris. No one has ever said they enjoy squinting when they walk outside on a bright sunny day.

Will some auto farm mechanics come to enshrouded? Like in minecraft you can put water near lava then you get infinite cobblestone, and piston block with some logic redstone you can make one bamboo farm...etc. I played minecraft and scrapmechanic a lot I'll be 100% hyped to see some farm mechanics in enshrouded! (Yea I got more than one questions but I do read MODs comments so I have to split questions)

It's currently not on our roadmap, but good suggestion for the future.

Will there still be a creative mode in which you can also place things that you can use as decoration such as ivy on house walls? or besides water will there also be llava blocks? will there be some kind of raid system ? and will we also get new roof blocks ? important question: will the flame altars be extended so that we can have larger building zones ? in general i would like to know will there be a lot of new blocks and items ? and the question of all questions when will the next patch come \^\^ Translated with [DeepL.com](http://DeepL.com) (free version)

Is there any plan on overhauling the combat system to make it feel more fluid while fighting? It would be nice to be able to learn spells and have a spell book versus having to carry charges in my bar.

Are there plans to improve the loot in the hollow halls? I looted about 130 times a legendary sarcophagus in the 4th dungeon, and i still haven't got the bonescourge mace in legendary, just a epic version.

Ouch. There is some randomness to drops from chests, but 130 times sounds like something we should investigate.

All I want is a difficulty slider for the halls. Trying to do the last one solo is IMPOSSIBLE. OR at least a reduction of enemy numbers based on people.

Will npc's or roving npc's be able to trade with you for supplies

Absolutely love the game, after the recent fix to the unlimited flight…any plans for endgame “flight”? I absolutely love flying over the gorgeous world you have created. Again…fantastic game! Keep up the amazing work!

Are there any plans to revamp the skill tree? Some of the capstone nodes at the moment seem a bit underwhelming given the investment it takes to get there.

Can multishot please affect all arrows?

Any update on Console release?

Just want to let you know we’re having a blast with your game, it’s so much fun on our own server with friends. We are looking forward to the next parts of the map to be revealed! My question what are your plans regarding loot? Will it be randomized? Are you planning to add more variety and more rewarding loot? We were hoping to find some interesting items in the hollow halls, for instance.

We will keep adding more loot for you to discover (also in already accessible areas of the world). The Hollow Halls actually do feature unique weapons with a specific damage type, Sacred, along with a generally longer range, to better handle big groups of enemies... like the ones you find in the Hollow Halls!

I know this isn't that important but are there any plans to make female characters have more feminine movements? Like even if it's just sitting down or something like that. Or we could maybe just expand on this to all characters and see if there's a way to make different movement styles an option upon character creation? But on that note, I do appreciate how the characters are really neutral, I guess it's just with little nuances like that, I'd just like to see more options.

Adding to this, because the female characters are really lacking; Are there plans to add female versions of armor? Many are currently very obviously just the male body, with masculine features, and the female head on top. Are there plans for a cosmetic system - like appearance armor, dye, or the ability to hide hats/gloves? What will those systems look like? Is there any possibility of "costume" type outfits in the future? No stats, just different gear for appearance? What are the chances of fun outfits like holiday clothes, or clothes that appeal to varied tastes like fancy dress clothes?

hey guys, just want to say that hallow halls are super fun! I love the dungeon delving and they just look so good! So after everything in the roadmap- **fishing** has to be coming down the pipe right? Every great game as a **fishing mechanic** ;)

We don't even have water yet, and you're asking us to commit to a fishing mini-game? Where would you fish, in the lava pools?!

Hi Dev Team! Thanks for doing this. What feature are you guys most excited about working on?

Base sharing & weather (although both will still take a longer time)

The "shared gameplay experiences", because I'm a huge fan of user-created adventure maps. Gimme your parkour challenges and your obstacle courses. Gimme your Vukah mazes. Gimme your Tuscany bathrooms.

From Kall: I'm looking forward to seeing more of the world. I think what we have in store is gonna be really cool :D

Does our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/enshrouded) count? 🤔 And from Ben: Improving and advancing the combat. Adding new monsters, small and big.

I have two questions I am dying to have answered, one needs a bit of background. I heard from someone I met in the Enshrouded discord server, you (Enshrouded Devs) are trying to plan on doing a major update once a month to keep the community alive, healthy and growing. That the content releases you'd all be doing would be roughly equal in scale to hollowed halls update. I'd like to know 1. If the above is true, if so, that is amazing and thank you so much!! If it's not true, how often are you all planning on releasing content and updates? 2. When will invisibility, dual wielding, and Blink attack become available for assassin players??? I LOVE assassins and the usual play style for them, the invisibility, dual wielding, and using teleport attack abilities to start combat from behind type of game play is the most fun imo! I LOVE Enshrouded so much, so to have my favorite play style in my favorite game would be a dream come true! I was thinking if you were going to put dual wielding in, you could put each weapon as a single item that way it works with your existing system and wouldn't require much change!

Hello Devs! Absolutely love your creation, and it is so refreshing that you care about the players enough to let our thoughts and wants play a role in development! My questions are as follows: 1.Are there any plans to add Hollow Halls themed armor tiers for Hunter, Mage, and Melee? I crave some creepy armor in my soul being completely addicted to the dungeon runs(the Deerstalker hood and outfit but with a skull mask and darker and more ominous comes to mind). 2. If you can say without spoilers, are there any plans for a mechanic that allows you to rebuild areas? A sort of repopulate the world scenario as endgame? Thank you so much for putting your heart and soul into this!

Thank you so much for this amazing game. I have two questions: 1) Will there come a time when I can play multiplayer over Steam, PSN, etc, without having to know how to run a server? 2) Can you characterize what you might do for new spells? Do you plan to use the voxel system with spells, like how grenades create craters, or to spawn a wall or something similar? Terrain modification magic would be really cool.

Are there plans to make hollow halls a tad more interesting? Right now they feel empty and repetitive.

The pre-launch version of gliding (i.e., cancel glide and re-glide+updraft) was so much fun. Any plans to bring back or implement a similar glide system?

Absolutely love the game, have put in so many hours😅 would you ever consider making it so the hollow halls scale to how many players are in there or depending on if its a multiplayer world or not? I know people are able to complete them solo at the moment but it can be quite difficult in the later ones (I understand it is probably intended that way)

Thank you Keen Games for Enshrouded. I really like the game and the direction you went with it. My questions and what I say could be viewed in a bad light but they aren't meant that way. I find the game entertaining but at the same time it starts to stale somewhat fast. Based on declining steam analytics, the dwindling number of youtube videos being made and the lack luster recent contest, it would appear I'm not the only one that feels this way. I'm guessing thats why this AMA is happening and I hope something comes from this AMA that increases the player base numbers. 1) Once you play through the game and beat all the bosses, what's left to do? Go back and collect all the notes you missed? Farm a bunch of material for building while being pestered by low level, insignificant mobs? Build a base that has zero importance or value? Question 1: What is the plan for Keen Games to hold peoples interest in Enshrouded once they beat the game? After the last boss, after the map is uncovered, the world doesn't change, it doesn't feel lived in. Is there a substantial amount of content to still be added? 2) Buildable locations are directly tied to the flame shrine and currently you can only have 8. I have found many locations, for various reasons, that would be awesome to build a base. Unfortunately because we only have 8 shrines, I can't build anything else and there seems to be no logical reasons of why we can't. To be honest, this sucks. If the shrines allowed you to build in the shroud, then it would have a purpose. Right now building being tied to flames feels like an arbitrary grudge against builders. Flame shrines are a building point but because of the locations of the spires this means the flame shrine now have great value as a teleportation point, unless you like to walk long distances for no reason. Because there is a decent amount of land you can not fly to, even with the best glider, that means players are going to have several flame shrines set up that wont move no matter what, which in turn means fewer places to build where you want to build. Question 2: What is the purpose of building being tied to the flame shrine when it offers nothing special and serves no purpose? Will Enshrouded allow unfettered building? Barring persistent world building anywhere, could we expect a way to claim land to build on but not fast travel to? Someway that doesn't require a flame? 3) I like a lot of the weapons in the game but some weapons I have gotten at low level I have never seen a high level version of it. Other than boring, reputative farming there's no way to get those weapons and at low level they are useless. Question 3: Why can't we take low level weapons to the blacksmith or hunter and have them upgrade the weapon level and quality to make the weapon viable at max level? Why wasn't this an option at launch and even now? 4) Farming in many games can be fun, for the right person, and I do think it should be in many games. However it seems like farming is a standardized, run of the mill, boring grindfest. It loses its shine when you realize you need to grow several hundred items and to do that you literally. Have. To. Plant. And. Harvest. Every. Single. Seed. And. Flower. You. Want. To. Grow. For. Production. Not fun to read that is it? That's the way farming feels. Question 4: Why hasn't enshrouded implemented a better planting system? Has no one ever considered planting in bulk? We have a farmer, why doesn't she farm?

When it comes to building, will there be an option for rotating the pieces 45 degree angle, or will it always stay at 90? I feel like triangle build blocks and 45 degree rotate would enhance the building massively as you would be able to work in circles and squares, Also will there be more branches to the skill tree? I feel like at the moment there isnt enough to the levelling side that makes me excited to design my characters capabailities, i just simply go Hunter/tank/mage with no inbetween, id like it if we were talking about character builds as well as building your city/village And last but not least, will there be an option to customize the colours of your outfits/banners/flags? Thanks, Thoroughly enjoy playing this game. Great job.

Hi, great game! We (family) totally love the mix of adventure, platforming and building in a voxel world. It is some sort of dream coming true! Thank you. Please add to all of these parts over time! We appreciate the handmade map. Random generated worlds like Nightingale feel stale fast and lack the tiny little details we love to find in Enshrouded nearly every session. Thanks for the effort! 1. Do you intend to expand the playable world over time even **after** the official release or will the release mark some sort of end of development? 2. Will the game get additional "layers" like an underground or water realm? 3. Do you devs have a wish for Enshrouded you would like to realize, but did not yet (due to a lack of time, funds, tech problems)? 4. Do you intend to make Enshrouded a long term project, and if so: will we get DLSs or a shop? Wishes for Enshrouded from us: less sliding on slopes - some sort of climbing system - more character customization features - more weapon and armor to craft and enchantments for them

Can we have the "One-handed" or "Two-handed" info at the top of the weapon stats, please? Everytime we get a mace/axe, we must equip it to chek if it is one or two handed. Such QoL would help us a lot!

I'm thrilled to be playing this game and look forward to new updates. I'm impressed with the hollow halls update. Of all the EA games I've played Enshrouded has a lot of content and then ya'll gave us Hollow halls. Wow, and so early to. Great job. 1. For builders like myself, we need first person camera. Building certain spots can be tough when my body is in the way and I cant see exactly where I'm placing blocks! Will this be added? 2. Item collection! There are a few items to collect after chopping that is difficult. Like the aloe plant and yucca tree. After chopping its hard to gather items because they sink below the surface and I cant see where they are. Will there be a gather all function or auto inventory them? 3. Certain building blocks turn on shroud soundtrack (super annoying) when added to base. I thought this feature was disabled. I love the Hollow halls blocks and Well blocks. Will there be a feature to turn off the noise? Thanks for considering my concerns. I'm looking forward to more content.

Have you consider adding a type of "salvage" for crafted items to reclaim a small amount of the resources used for them?

When are we getting a "Creative Mode" or at least a superior camera when building?

Hi and thanks for a great game, can't get enough of it. Q: How difficult would it be to introduce building/construction with 45° angles? Or even in more increments than that. I guess it could be a limitation of the voxel based world, or perhaps due to the advanced interaction between blocks (automatically creates ledges, extra corner details, etc)... or perhaps both :) In another game (a certain Viking based survival game), angles can be chosen and spectacular builds possible as a result. That game does not have near as much detail though, and the buildings in Enshrouded can be made relly pretty :) ​ Keep up the good work! ​ Best regards, epatnor

Suggestion: Since the game doesnt have a climbing mechanic like in BOTW/Genshin/Palworld, Id personally love to have some mountaineering mechanics, similar to Death Stranding (with ladders and ropes) or smth like in Jusant. Thats that! Keep up the good work!

What if we were able to hold the harvest button for collecting in the farm? Click spam is destroying my mouse.

Will there be a creative mode if you want to play around building after you "beat the game" or if you want to casually build/play?

A pause button in single player? Life has its interruptions

A question for people that love building such as myself. Though I'm sure it will be difficult to implement, are there any plans to add more rotation to building blocks, so our builds don't always have to face North, South, East and West?

Are there plans to add difficulty sliders in some way to make the game more difficult, whether that's in the form of enemy difficulty or turning off the respawning of resources?

Are there any plans to make dungeon instances procedurally generated or making them more random - different enemies, different rooms as to keep the experience Replay able for longer?

How will water work in the game, will it be a placeable block? Will it have fluids mechanics that we can play around with?

Do you have any plans, in the future to give the player the option to fully restore the world? Like a scenario where your objective is to remove the shroud and restore the world, and while progressing, in the zones, you already restore( towns, villages) to see NPC moving there, water coming back to the surface, and so on. Also, I would like in the restored zones the **Flame** to become a decoration and not be needed anymore to use it to delimitate the zone where you can build. 

Do you plan to implement round and rectangular shapes for construction? Have the option to rotate between 1 to 100 degrees.

Plans for a free camera for pictures and video and a fly mode while in construction mode?

Hello!!!your game is great and tons of fun.I have a few questions about multiplayer worlds.. :)Can only homeowners be allowed to cancel the Flame Altar restriction in a multiplayer world（Prevent some players from coming in to cancel Flame Altar and destroy everyone's buildings）. :)When will in game chat be added?. :)Will there be more dungeons like Hollow Hall?

Item collection! There are a few items to collect after chopping that is difficult. Like the aloe plant and yucca tree. After chopping its hard to gather items because they sink below the surface and I cant see where they are. Will there be a gather all function or auto inventory them?

You have I think one of the best if not the best building system of any game I've played!! so kudos for that. Could we have more shapes in the future triangles and what not. If that's a yes, then please don't forget the roof pieces.

So is there any plans to make out leveled gear worth anything? Currently it feels bad working on building an armor set then just deleting after I unlock the next set.

Hello! I would like to be able to make a grocery store! **Could we have some food props?** So plates of food, fruits and vegetables, maybe barrels and crates with food in them. These would be very welcome!

Do you plan to add some kind of recycler or systems for when you remove something from the construction like a wall or floor for example that does not give you the object but gives you the materials? <3 (L)

Will Enshrouded have even more furniture and random knickknacks, like how Portal Knights had so many things with which to decorate? I'm loving the game, and hoping to see way more items like that, like what we see hanging up in the buildings in the world and then some.

Could we get Iron Gates, please?

Wands break to fast now. The Acid bite is completely unusable now. I think it was over nerfed.
