Developer BitBox put out an update for their medieval sandbox game, Life is Feudal, over the holidays.

The new update adds lots of bug-fixes, gameplay tweaks, and more – however the most notable addition to the game is of course the advanced weather effects:

• Implemented advanced weather effects including wind affecting trees. Each season will have a certain set of different weather types and each weather type affects the growth rates of trees, cattle and farm harvesting yields. WARNING snow and rain particles can reduce FPS rates on weaker video cards – you can disable them in the Video Options menu.
• Piles of snow are now randomly created in the world during snowy weather (can be disabled via server config). They will melt away during other types of weather, or you can remove them via your terraforming abilities and use the snow as a crafting material for snowballs and snowmen!

You can find the entire list of stuff added to the game within this update here (Editor’s Note: Also worth mentioning the game received a smaller update since then).

In case you haven’t seen our previous coverage for the game, Life is Feudal is a multiplayer-focused, 64 player-based medieval sandbox where you can build medieval worlds and kingdoms – or simply kill each other.

You can find Life is Feudal here on Steam.
