More customization options for all wooden items!

Based on your feedback, we’ve added many new colors to the wood customization options. You can now make your home shine in your favourite color! :)

Ladders - click to climb

We’ve heard your feedback about ladders and made major improvements to how they work.

First, we’ve added a new way to climb ladders: you can now interact with them to snap directly onto the ladder. This is especially useful when climbing from above. Previously, getting onto a ladder from the top was difficult and often nearly impossible.

Ladders - touch to climb

You can still simply walk toward a ladder to start climbing. Since many players are already familiar with this behavior, we decided to keep it unchanged.

We’ve also improved ladder snapping detection overall, especially when stepping off ladders, making movement feel much smoother and more reliable.

Ladders - controls

Previously, movement direction was determined by your look angle. Looking upward meant moving forward would take you up, while looking downward meant moving forward would take you down. We’ve now added a setting that lets you choose your preferred behavior, including an option where moving forward always means up and moving backward always means down.

Ladder Animations in Multiplayer

We added ladder animations for multiplayer!

We hope you’re enjoying the additions and improvements we’ve been bringing to Outbound. Thank you for playing and for being part of the journey! :)
