That's what we'll be tackling in the next patches. New mechanics and UI will keep getting refined and upgraded in future updates. The Monolith update is all about laying the foundation. We spent a lot of time on the groundwork - building out code and UI systems to streamline development going forward, for both current Monolith features and everything still to come. We're roughly at the halfway point with core systems, and we really can't wait to start developing the next ones! A huge thanks to all the beta testers and everyone who sent in reports - your feedback helped us make this release more stable across all platforms! Enjoy WorldBox and Monolith! - Team WorldBox {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/4de866734b4e9613e1c4aaeac037b7103aebd852.png

How does it work?

Unit traits🤳, statuses⁉️, subspecies🧬, clans🩸, cultures🍵, languages💬, and religions🔥 — even items (technically, for now... we still need to add content for that later) - all influence behavior by adding neurons to a unit’s decision-making process. 🔬 This Brain Screen lets you observe the minds of your creatures and also lets you be a horrible person silence specific neurons 😈 (Like preventing a king from eating so he slowly starves... not that you’d ever do that, right?) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/f7b514a3e6c131f087e17f580e0cf5e4629a0416.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png The new Brain AI also integrates with the happiness system.

And when their family dies... well, they might just break down in tears. 💔 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/f17679dcf0f7ea7360d0ba8babe38c49e66a04ff.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png 📜 World Ages can now be arranged like seasons, letting you control the flow of time and chaos in your world! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/3190c4804522e4718446481e97232e244cbeb64b.png 🔍 Items got an upgrade!

The Art of Naming

With so many new species, we needed a lot of name generators. So, we made a game out of it! Cultures now have a new tab called "Onomastics", which controls naming templates for units, families (last names), clans, and cities. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/c0ed9a5d2029336c613e906cc58bd850a0192d79.png It might look a little scary at first, but don’t worry — it should all make sense (we hope) as you play around with it during beta! 👀🔠 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2b850c6cbb34a377390b247183dd54f84b63f979.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/32cefbaa6d58edf8e15a8cbaf43d9762e0d3cd53.png ⚡ Paradox Biome: Where two years fly by faster than you can blink!

Mobile Version Update

📱 We'll also be testing the mobile version in a closed beta alongside the PC open beta. Due to platform restrictions, we can't offer an open beta for mobile. And we need to thoroughly test everything before the official release. Stay tuned for more information on the mobile version in April.

They could revive the demon culture, bringing it into their city. What would happen next? Who knows? Idk? 🎃 Bonus peeks: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/ef3621644ae808521e84070c52f2848268e92f93.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/11b6224f777e51de20db40e4daf9bc024c27c31c.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/33660df5e81eb014104364a69a36f18ed4c35e90.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2237e463da9f2b0264ccfd5e741f2ab68dce4cb6.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/8a9f3e6454ea34af463957a952b349e6a4b9bd0f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/26941261db0704cab8273ed13d5039ca493f7539.gif We’re aiming to finish work on this update around late Q1 2025 ☠️ Stay tuned - our next announcement will be absolutely magical. 🕯️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/bf4032df48d791b1a65c7dbf5ef54c78131beed8.gif

New sneak peeks! Related to clans and their increased importance🕯️ in the next update!

New Royal Clans UI

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/cabacb9959bf0e1f0db80bd34a32c6c234519513.gif

Clan trait editor!

The new clan trait editor will affect all members of the clan, allowing you to create unique bloodlines that set them apart from the rest of ordinary folk their species, for better or worse. Some traits will naturally depend on their species, while others will depend on the biome where they are born. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/8146f310950c8b531d923d0959870ee0f4c3c14f.gif

Clans and Cultures

Royal Clans are now more intertwined with cultures. Culture traits will affect succession rules, replacing the old only-primogeniture system where the eldest child automatically became the next ruler. Now, succession laws can vary and even be combined, depending on the culture’s specific traits. Some examples: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/cb5bee5066ead826ba213f52467d262dd986fc9d.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/90bcbe5df3c056389e13f5ba4e8e692f3018cc98.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/9bdf8abfef6a4cba1f2e5c92920e8bde1d8b8cbe.png

Clans and ???

Clans will also be closely tied to another upcoming, yet-to-be-revealed mechanic ✨ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/453f029b1cda5db4be9346b33a22cc5543c0f190.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/a9ba488ad19291812476b14499c0ce8ee62094c4.png Happy holidays, everyone! We hope you're all enjoying and will continue to enjoy great times with your families. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png Speaking of families, in our next update, we are adding a family system. Family ties will affect relationships between characters. To give you a brief overview, here are some screenshots(work in progress): {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/ef699946fe04a6a2c5655461dc13c4ef3e0992bd.png To represent families and their banners, we ended up using picture frames, which you can also customize and change colors. As usual you can also change family name {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/bc69c4f45a974b7ff907214b28d5b58a5e27ed8f.png From the family screen, you can see which family members are currently alive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e84e2dd5f610807deb6e048c8fefe6b5a099039f.png You can explore family history and see the ancestral lines associated with it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/40b1a62e9f4872d80992e7605e50566f920c9dbb.png And in unit window you will be able to to view generation and the genealogy of your people and animals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e210d71005ee757110f9909b03c2936d48b406d5.png In the subspecies menu, you'll be able to see which families exist in the world that are related to them. Similarly, this applies to the kingdom/city view. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/063828be2add36d0fff784a36b674a1c92cb7509.png We're also adding an "Interesting Units" tab, where you can discover cool characters. This is especially handy when you're trying to find that last character from a forgotten culture or dead kingdom. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/cb87f4317ae431d98221bac45b38029ed973a949.png You'll also be able to view stat graphs showing how your people lived with the new Graphs tab. This feature works for every meta object: wars, alliances, kingdoms, cities, cultures, families, clans, subspecies and more! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png We also have much more to show, including the main biggest feature! Next year will be huge for WorldBox! And we finally will have most of the big mechanics that tie all simulation parts together! Thank you, everyone, for playing WorldBox and your continued support(and patience!) ! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/7687dd88eddb6d5a2fc813768b36088009bc6cd6.png Merry Xmas and happy coming New Year! - Team WorldBox

Whenever a new creature is created, it will be assigned to a subspecies. Like other meta objects (such as cultures, kingdoms, wars), these can be viewed on the minimap. And you will be able to access their information and customize them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/b5720e842fc088d913f65a15a4d49f1dcb17519a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png Subspecies will level up as more units of that subspecies are born. With each level-up, they will acquire genetic-body-related traits based on their population. These traits will have a high chance of being passed on to new offspring. Additionally, the likelihood of traits being influenced by biome-specific food will increase. As a result, biomes could play a significant role in the simulation of evolution of your species in the world. The general UI design has also been refined, though it's still a work in progress. New subspecies window: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/d2d8089587d855a07ee3f57d6d5452ce1c94a7bf.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png Most windows will now feature newly added tabs. One of the major additions is graphs! More details on these will be shared later. More big news is on the way! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/e3691ef572ce4a1e60971c825f28ecbae47478c9.png Illustrations that created for coming update: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/20874a382cb1f6c8ee0ec5e9fcd3710c9db7b519.png Download a higher resolution version here] {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/2a22a2b50657a68613786939ccb145c222b8dc02.png Download a higher resolution version here]

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that progress on the update is coming along nicely! We're super excited about it, and it's going to bring some significant changes to the game. We don't have a release date yet, since we're still working on coding brand new mechanics. But stay tuned - we'll be posting out more sneak peeks on Twitter and Discord as they're ready. You can also expect a more detailed rundown on Steam Community down the line. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/d796a0eb090755ec43c65fab0ae12451ef0cb034.png In the meantime, check out this cool illustration that gives you a hint into what the update has in store. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39496096/1f96b118f61aa8aba3cfee6f8a8f7e7478402239.jpg Higher resolution can be downloaded here]

#MODDING:

• mods are only loaded into memory if their dll ends with "_memload.dll". E.g. ncms.dll -> ncms_memload.dll. They will keep their original namespace
• modded games will show a yellow version number on screenshots
• modded games that have an active error will show a cyan version number on screenshots
