Developer Toukana Interactive has rolled out Dorfromantik patch 0.4, which bundles in a timely Winter update for the acclaimed calm and cozy tile-based city builder. We’ve rounded up the full Dorfromantik 0.4 patch notes detailing all the changes and additions to the game.
As above, Dorfromantik patch 0.4 is coined as a Winter update largely thanks to the introduction of Midwinter, a cozy new biome draped in a snowy coat and peppered with plenty of seasonally-appropriate details. Alongside, the patch introduces a slew of new challenges and achievements. Lastly, Dorfromantik patch 0.4 adds an in-game biome configuration tool. It allows players to change biomes on the fly without reverting to the main menu.
As expected, patch 0.4 incorporates several choice bug fixes, localization updates, and usability tweaks. You can read through these in the full Dorformantik 0.4 patch notes just below.
