Hey everyone!

It’s Friday and as we’re heading into the weekend it’s once again time for us to give you an insight into what’s been going on lately in the Raft office! Everything outside is covered in snow and it feels like the coldest winter in a long time. One might wonder why anyone would build a city in these climates. Luckily, thanks to the magic of walls and radiators, the office remains at a reasonable temperature and development continues forward at an unaltered speed! So lets get to it!

 

Localization

Many of you have been wondering if Raft will support different languages. As Raft features quite a lot of different items with names and descriptions we of course want everyone to understand what they mean and do! With these additions a whole lot more people will be able to play with their preferred language! So, without further adieu, we’re happy to announce that Raft will support the following:

-English
-French
-Italian
-German
-Spanish
-Polish
-Brazilian Portuguese
-Simplified Chinese
-Japanese
-Korean
-Russian

 

Vacated raft visual update

Two blogs back we showed you vacated rafts that can float by which you can loot for materials. They were made with the same parts you build your raft with, which we realized could easily lead to some confusion. As they’re not meant to be a substitute to your raft, we felt it was important they were more easily distinguishable from your own building blocks. To fix this, we remade the models and textures for the vacated rafts to make them look more worn out and fragile.

To compare, here is an example of the old vacated rafts.

 

And here’s a new one.

Building system tweaks

As Raft revolves quite a lot around building, we want it to feel as good as possible to place blocks. Previously when placing walls you aimed in the middle of a block and rotated the wall to decide which side to place it on. This got a bit annoying as you had to rotate a lot when building more intricate rafts. We decided to redo that part of the system so you now only have to aim at the edge where you want the wall, fence or roof to be placed.

To compare, here is the old system.

And here’s the new one.

This leads to much more fluid and intuitive building!

In addition to this, to give building a nicer feel, we’ve also added some particles for when you build and destroy blocks.

That’s all for this time! As always, we hope you enjoyed the blog and we wish you a great weekend! Until next time!

    If your want some help to translate to Hebrew I can help! I want now to play ברפסודה!

  • Comment by microman502

    It’s me again. Doing a great job, honestly the game already looks great. I really think you should need to water plants instead of them auto-growing. And to make it not be overly repetitive, make auto-waterers that you put a cup in and the water spreads out. Thank you!

    Good afternoon, dear developers! I’ll start in order and clearly state his point of view on this blog.
    1. I did not like the drifting raft. He’s too naked! I think it’s worth leaving the previous model and making rotten floors and walls in it. Also add to them holes and half the wall and the roof destroyed.
    2. I did not like the new foundation. The old one was more attractive!
    3. But the animation of destruction is simply superb! On this I have everything. This is purely my opinion. Of course, you decide! Thank you! Russian-speaking countries are looking forward to the release of this pleasant game! Thanks again!

      The new foundation is to save polygons so there is less lag. However, I do think the foundations do need some more though as I agree that the new ones are a bit iffy.

    Will you accept freelance translation jobs? If so I would love to take on translating to norwegian.

  • Comment by MJG

    I think it would be a good idea to make this game have a few modes like a story mode, a freeplay mode and then Multiplayer. It would be cool to have a Head-to-head mode where you build to beat someone and then the multiplayer where you kind of just play with your friends on either freeplay or just story mode. Story mode would be cool if you like discover new things to make. Another cool thing would be that you could carry over the new things that you learned how to make to the freeplay or multiplayer mode. I’m REALLY excited for this game to be released! Fighting!

  • Comment by MJG

    Also, it would be cool if you could make the audio and text languages different, maybe have subtitles if there are parts where the characters speak.

    Hi there, i am following your side and i am waiting 4 the launch of the game on steam platform.
    By the way, the old graphic set is much better than the new one, but u must have own reasons for that.
    When is the launch to buy the game?
    best regards

  • Comment by Lia

    How do I get into the early access? If that’s not possible, then do you have an estimated release date yet? I see that you last said that it would be early 2018. Well…it’s early 2018 and I’m DYING (not from a shark attack, fortunately) to get in and play!

  • Comment by Jack

    My Friends and I can’t wait to play the multiplayer mode on this! Keep up the good work.

  • Comment by MRodrigues

    Hello Folks,

    i played the free version and i enjoed it very much.
    BUT…
    If i read about the late steam launch, the commets to the changed gameplay and graphics i am really not sure to buy the full steam version.

    i suppose the “launched” version has absolutely nothing to do with the free version – in graphics, gameplay and Ki….

    I am sorry – but if YOU gonna launch a completely other game than indended i am not able to buy it.
    Think about it, you can death patch a game by trying to make it perfect.

    see ya

  • Comment by retykristof

    Can I ask you, in multiplayer or single player, will be more sharks or any dangerous animal? Or just one shark?
    Because in game Stranded deep, there is a fantastic underwater life. (but the game is too difficult)

  • Comment by R. Taylor

    I would love to beta test this game. Me and my wife play it on the phone but be-leave that the controls would be better on the pc.

  • Comment by Tudor

    I would like to tell you a suggestion: the palm looks rather strange, you could do it in version 1.5. and adapt to new graphics. Add the language Romanian language.

  • Comment by PIXEL GAMER

    we know it coming in 2018 but in which month and day they come ….? ????????? ?????

  • Comment by Anonymous

    You’ve been developing a long time, and it’s almost April 1st, can you PLEASE release a later version than 1.05b for the public to play?

  • Comment by Mashallow

    Can you add piranhas in the game? (They could be in the reefs to attack us) And why not ladders to climb on the islands’ plateforms ? I would like you to also put events for example for Christmas there would be snow. And so to finish, to fight the piranhas who live in the water, it would be necessary a machete or a sea knife to kill them.

    A. P. jechał auto w taki podejście, aby pozostawić na drodze rzucający się w oczy wyryty w podkładzie blizna kół samochodowych. Widząc owo pozwana zagrabiała te tropy wyrównując rutynie, po pewnym czasie podlewała grunt, iżby dojrzewałaby na przed zielone. Zdarzały się pozycje, że powódka notowała pozwaną telefonem komórkowym, gdy ta piła w ogrodzie kawusię bądź osiągała prace kołowrót domu. Było podobnie faktycznie, iż powódka dokumentowała, podczas gdy pozwana zamieniałaby dachówkę (mającą egzystować adwokat w charakterze materiał aż do utwardzenia wartościowy). Potem E. P. u dołu pretekstem wywożenia spośród ajencji pozwanej pono eternitu apelowałaby na położenie policję.W wypadku umowy poręczenia nie dojrzewa do przeniesienia pożyczki na rezultat czynności nieustawodawczej wierzyciela, ale do pobrania pożyczce z mnogości tęż prawa za pomocą figurę trzecią (poręczyciela), jaka spłaca wierzyciela (art. 518 § 1 KC). Ma porcję Sąd Okręgowy podnosząc, iż nie można identyfikować dwóch oddzielnych instytucji upoważnienia społecznego w sprawy, gdy prawodawca w postępowanie prawidłowy konsumuje różnicuje (rozstrzygnięcie SN spośród dnia 24 kwietnia 2008 r., sygn. akt IV CSK 39/08; uchwała SN spośród dnia 28 listopada 2003 r., sygn. akt IV CK 232/02).Blisko liczeniu zachowku nie zważa się legatów wulgarnych natomiast wsparć, chociaż dolicza się aż do zapisie, słusznie aż do podręczników poniższych, dotacji a legaty windykacyjne przeprowadzone z wykorzystaniem.
