September ‘23 EverForest Game Changes

Greetings, EverForest Alliance!

We’ve been testing. We’ve been listening. (Thank you for your generous feedback!) And today, we’re excited to share some details with you about our upcoming release. This is our biggest leap yet, and we’ve made  sweeping improvements to virtually every aspect of the game. If you’ve been on this early access journey with us, this will feel like a whole new game!

Why did the EverForest game team create a new version?

Games in early access often go through big changes as they’re being developed. Over the past few months of testing and listening we’ve released several versions of EverForest—making improvements along the way.

For this release, the most fundamental changes are to the core gameplay. Specifically, we’ve emphasized progression to reward players and also enhanced merge play. We hope all of these changes add up to more fun in the EverForest! 

What’s new?

While we can’t list every single improvement (there are too many!), check out some of the bigger changes inside the EverForest:

VISUAL PROGRESSION: Find a new map experience where you’ll see your progress in each area of each zone! Unlock new areas to discover plants, animals, secrets...and (of course!) delightful merge items.

IMPROVED USER INTERFACE (UI) that makes it easier to do what you want in the EverForest!

ENHANCED MERGE experience! We’ve added new items and mechanics including:

• Spawners: Special merge items that, when tapped, generate new merge items. Merge identical spawners together to increase the amount of items it can produce, as well as the rarity of those items!

• Dormant Items: These special items (faded, covered in cobwebs…) sit on your merge board until you have a matching item to merge into it. When you merge them, you’ll get the next level of that item…and that spot will be permanently unlocked on your board. 

• Extra Pocket: Need some extra space? Want to save an item you don’t need now, but will need later? That’s where the Extra Pocket comes in. It’s an expandable space where you can store your items!

REAL-TREE POINTS! Collect Real Tree Points that can add up to REAL TREES!

PERSONAL & COMMUNITY TREE-PLANTING DASHBOARD AND community tree planting milestones and rewards—all let you track environmental impact.
NEW ZONES! Escape into the secrets of the EverForest! Every zone has an overarching problem to solve, area by area.
SIMPLIFIED ECONOMY! Currencies have been reduced and streamlined.

There are a whole lot more improvements we’ve made, but we’ll save that for you to discover when you get your hands on the latest version!

As always, a huge thank you to all of our early access players! Your feedback has been instrumental in helping shape the game, and we can’t wait to hear what you think about this version.

In the course of using the Services, you may purchase or receive tree points, tree tokens, or real trees ("Tree Acquisition"). This Tree Acquisition does not: (i) confer any rights of ownership to you of a tree, (ii) represent a transfer of environmental and social attributes or carbon credits to you, or (iii) confer any other rights to you. Rather the Tree Token Acquisition facilitates the planting of a tree on your behalf in accordance with the terms and conditions of our tree planting partners. We reserve the right to reclaim any Tree Acquisition.
