By My Side

This update fixes bugs. Some of them had been in the game since release and could cost you progress. Thanks to everyone who reported something. Saves and character - Loading a save could change your character's gender. The next save then made it permanent. Fixed. - The hair colour you picked was lost after every restart. Light colours such as blonde were stored incorrectly. Fixed. Existing saves cannot be repaired, but new characters keep their colour. Multiplayer - Joining while the host was still loading the world gave you an empty world. Buildings were invisible, animals could not be killed

- A personal letter is waiting for you the next time you start the game. You get it once — close it and it's gone for good. - Fixed: terrain texture in the wrong format) Thanks for playing my game. The next bigger update will come in the next week.

Thank you for all your feedback over the past weeks! This is the biggest update By My Side has received so far. Alongside brand-new content, we've fixed many of the issues reported by the community and completely reworked several core gameplay systems. 🛠️ Major Improvements Completely reworked airplane Entering and leaving the aircraft is now reliable, even with a full inventory. Cargo storage saves correctly, fuel mechanics have been improved, and emergency landings on remote islands no longer cause softlocks. New swimming & diving system Characters now move more naturally in water, diving h

Hey everyone! 🐕 A big update — and a lot of it comes straight from your feedback. Highlights: 🛒 New: The Wagon Build a wooden wheeled wagon at the workbench — the summer alternative to the sled! As you pull it, the front wheels visibly steer into the turns and the wheels roll along. The sled still glides best on snow, the wagon rolls best on bare ground — hitch either one to yourself or to your grown dog. 🛷 Sled overhaul A fresh, nicer model. The pull rope now sags naturally like a real rope and goes taut when you pull — no more stiff bar. 🎵 All-new soundtrack Fresh, hand-picked music for

New - Item tooltips: every item now shows what it's for and where to get it — or what it's crafted from — in all 8 languages. No more guessing what a part does or where a resource comes from. Bug fixes - Recipes that produce the same item (e.g. Cloth from Wool or from Fiber) are now clearly distinguishable at the workbench, and their tooltips show the correct ingredients. - Pressing [Q] without a hammer no longer places random items — only the active hotbar item gets placed. - Tasks (e.g. "Build 6 walls") now tick off immediately once the condition is met. Other - The deep-sea creature has bee

Thank you for all the feedback right after the 1.0 release — a lot of this comes straight from you! ⏸️ Real Pause The pause menu now truly freezes the whole world in single-player — time, animals, weather. A clear "⏸ Game paused" shows it. Perfect for when the phone rings. (In co-op the game keeps running for everyone, with a clear note.) 🪢 Rope Winch — now for yourself, too New: tie the winch's rope to yourself, keep working normally (dig, build) — then press [H] to be pulled back up. Great for getting out of deep pits or up from ledges. 🕳️ Digging & Filling You no longer get stuck in the g

The big day: By My Side is now version 1.0 — thank you to everyone who joined us through Early Access and shaped the game with your feedback! You can now see the version in the main menu (important for co-op: both players need the same version). 🔌 Power & Water — Finally Clear - Holding a cable or hose makes all connectable devices glow (gold = power, blue = water), with step-by-step prompts: look at a device → [E] → walk to the target → [E]. - Underground routing [R] is now shown at every step of laying — no more hidden option. - The demo's step-by-step help named a wrong key — fixed. 🚧 Fen

🏠 Build Upwards — Multi-Storey Houses - New piece: Intermediate Floor. Snaps flush onto your wall tops — walkable, and the next storey's walls go right on top of it. 2 planks. Leave one cell open for your stairwell. - Stairs stack properly now. Place a second staircase on the upper floor, offset from the first, for a real stairwell. Previously the second one silently dropped back to the ground floor and landed inside the first. - New piece: Ladder. Vertical, snaps to the outside of a wall, and stacks — one segment per storey, so you can reach any height. Just walk into it to climb; walk forwa

🎮 Steam co-op invites now work - Fixed the bug where joining a friend's game via a Steam invite got stuck at the main menu — the character select appeared, but nothing happened after. You now connect straight into your friend's world. - Under the hood: the Steam peer-to-peer relay wasn't being initialized, so the connection socket could never be created. That's fixed now. - The host just needs this update — friends can join even from a slightly older build. - Added a clear "Different game version" message when two players are on incompatible builds, instead of a silent failure.
