A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

I have now decided to lower the price of Forest - The Call For Help as it is fully completed and I have no plans on adding content. However, for the last few months I have been working on a first person zombie round based shooter and I'm close to preparing a demo to showcase and get feedback from. I have been uploading shorts of game mechanics for anyone interested. Thank you,Tom
I have found a way to reduce 2/3 of the trees in the starting forest to get the fps up to 60 on a 4060 12gb on highest settings. Hopefully people can enjoy the game now without frames dorpping below 30
For 1 Week Forest will be on sale at 10% off. I have also fixed an issue where the mouse cursor wasn't showing in the main menu when launching the game.
I was made aware of the introduction cutscene not playing upon pressing play and the camera not moving around on mouse. Although I have managed to fix this it has come at the unfortunate loss of controller support. Since I added controller support the game has started to have bugs (since there weren't any after playtesting). If there are anymore bugs please review, or email me at thomas.galliers@gmail.com so we can make this game as smooth as possible. Thanks, Thomas
Hopefully with these few changes on high mode the game will run at atleast 30 frames for people to enjoy the game at the best quality
Hi everyone, I am currently streaming every now and then my next game. I have already streamed a few times and made good progress on the first area of the game. If you want to check out this journey heres my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Arakan09 This next game is going to be a lot better and bigger than Forest. I'm gonna be doing more modelling and texturing so the game won't be as badly optimised. Thomas
As a first time publisher unexpected bugs were released with the game, some gamebreaker. In the past few days I have fixed all the bugs I am aware of. Thanks again for everyones patience and sticking with Forest - The Call For Help. Hopefully everyone can now enjoy the game.
The 2 quality settings are now working without Fatal errors
As I can't test this off Steam I'm making sure the patch works
After fixing the optimisation to make the game run more smoothly (still adjusting some things to make it more smooth) there is a few more bugs that need to be fixed. I will be trying to fix these bugs as soon as possible and will bring out an update with bugs fixed and game sorted. Feel free to play in the meantime but expect little bugs, remember to save just incase. Thanks for your patience and I can't wait for people to finally be able to Enjoy Forest - The Call For Help. P.S if you are to play it before patch don't click on the quality settings as it will fatal crash - the base quality is
Testing Fatal Error 1.0
This patch should improve optimisation massively
New patch didn't work. Will upload a sooner build for the game for the time being. If you play the game before I fix everything make sure to keep saving incase anything else goes wrong
So when playtesting the game on Unreal Engine and Steam everything worked fine but after release the game seems to run poorly and drop frames, during this time I've set the default settings to low. I will be trying to fix this issue as soon as possible to get the game looking and running better. Thank you for your patience
After finishing Forest - The Call For Help I'm working on my next title. I have made a video already explaining the story and characters. This game will be a lot bigger and more ambitious then Forest so if you're interested please watch the video:)
