I'm genuinely and deeply disappointed in the change in direction of mistlands. I remember exploring the uninhabited area full of dead trees, spider webs, giant skulls... It filled me with a sense of dread and awe, what were these giants? What could fell these things so big, spiders, something else? It felt as if the very landscape itself detested my intrusion.

The game nails perfectly the sense of wonder in exploration, building, and surviving and the mistlands seemed it would add a new dynamic in beautiful, terrifying contrast to the rest of the map. I was excited to see it develop.

But then it was removed, the design uplifted and gone, and the new screenshots paint a much different picture, it feels as if the development is taking the safer route by adding an environment that closely matches what exists already.

I love the game and I'm certainly not uninstalling and forgetting about it. It's because I enjoy it I'm saying this, there doesn't seem to be much discussion about this design change itself.
