• 12 new items with their own mechanics
• 11 new spells in nature and combat
• 10 new monster types with new abilities
• 10 new approachable NPCs with their own story and daily routine

The long version:
Maybe one or the other wondered after the main game what happened to Alex or Carla in the intro of the game!? This story is told in the AddOn - "The Desert". Around it, there are many new areas to explore and to learn about their laws.
Like the main game, the AddOn is a friendly game in which you can feel at ease. There is no pointless grinding and the entire world is handmade and there is something to discover everywhere.
The game combines nature simulation, which has been expanded even further, with farm building, role-playing with an exciting story and varying battles, in the hand-created dungeons, catacombs and caves.
Many new interesting items with their own mechanics such as a food dispenser, a hayrack, or the new growth crystals offer new possibilities.
The monsters have also gained in finesse and complexity and should now provide even more diversity in the battles.
As usual, the new NPCs have their own thoughts, worries and tasks and offer many insights into their lives with the master during your stay in the desert.
You will also meet numerous friends from the main game again and relationships will be deepened and new tasks mastered together. The love story around Aleena and Cailan is also continued.
Much has also changed in the world. The nature simulation has been enriched by active volcanoes and many small improvements.
The add-on takes place directly after the main game and therefore requires that you have completed the story there. The difficulty level is similar to the main game. As usual, there is a mix of farming, role-playing and exploring, although survival elements are also added, especially at the beginning in the life-hostile desert.

You can read about all the new features in the patch notes for the add-on or in the in-game instructions (F1 in the game). 

The farming RPG Behind the Horizon got a major update:

Hello Community,

the time has come again and a new major update for Behind the Horizon is available.

loading...

This time it's all about the graphics. I have integrated a new lighting system that creates very nice plastic effects with normal and specular mapping. Especially the caves have benefited enormously from this. On the surface, the effects are less noticeable because you are usually there during the day.

In addition, many textures (especially the paths and roads) have been improved or replaced, decorations added and transitions embellished.

The third major improvement concerns the starting map. There I went through the entire underground areas again and redesigned almost all the floors and stone tiles, so that there are now no more sprawling, monotonous areas. So I can only recommend everyone to try out the new starting map, i.e. to start a new game.

In addition, there are the usual minor adjustments and a few bugs that have been fixed.

You can see the list of all changes on my website or in the Steam Community section of Behind the Horizon.

Enjoy the game

The content update 1.2 for the farming RPG Behind the Horizon (German: Hinterm Horizont) has been released:

New areas, new quests, a mount and much more!

With this update Behind the Horizon is enriched with some new exciting content. First of all, there are two new areas and a cave, which have been hand-designed as usual. A new NPC offers two quest lines that are integrated into the main game. The level of difficulty is intended more for the beginning.
The new quests begin at Tiffany's café after you have had breakfast with her!

During the quests, it is possible to earn a mount (!) and to get another pet that, when enchanted, also helps on the farm.

In addition, I have greatly expanded the natural events, which are specifically adapted to the ongoing season, in order to create more variety and new challenges. There are now 4 possible events per season, with two having positive and two negative effects. The events occur randomly with different probabilities and it will take several years to experience them all, because more than two events are very rare in one season.

Cats have now learned to kill mice again and mice like to nibble on vegetables in return.

The netbook mode got a lot of changes and now the game actually runs smoothly on my Acer3 netbook with 4GB Ram and Intel HD. The vegetation density of ground cover, the surrounding coverage of light sources and the light size are limited.

On top of all this, there are numerous minor changes and the fixing of a few bugs. The complete list of changes can be read in the changelog V1.2.

All old game saves can still be used and the AddOn will be installed accordingly.
