All aboard (if you can pay)

The train actually goes somewhere now. And Mehville got a train station on top and a bank that looks way too fancy for this town.

The Home Land train is just the front car now, and it floats: it hovers over the track, bobs a little and glows green underneath.
It runs through a real tunnel to the Mehville Metro, then loops round and comes back in the other end of Home Land. No more driving backwards.
Ride up front: once the train leaves, you see the track from the front of the train.
Ticket machines at both stops. The sign above them counts down to the next train. The train only runs when someone actually needs it, because trains cost money. Apparently.
Tickets: Basic is $10. Fast is $30 and gets you there three times as fast. Broke? “Eh, looks like you need some help.” You get a free ticket, but the train goes twice as slow. Enjoy the view.
Someone else already using the train? It tells you your place in the queue and about how long you’ll wait.
Mehville Station: a brick building on the metro plaza, with parking out front, a ticket counter with a big TICKETS sign, and the stairs down to the trains inside.
Mehville Bank on Gate Road: marble columns, chandeliers, tellers and its own parking lot. You can walk right in. You can’t bank yet. Your money is safe here. Probably.

Mehville’s first real buildings. One sells you stuff. The other one is underground.

Stan’s Supermarket: the first shop in Mehville. Shelves, checkouts, trolleys and a parking lot, and the glass doors open as you walk up.
Stan stands at the checkout. Press E to talk to him. He is not thrilled to see you.
Shopping: press E on things for sale and they go in your cart. Pay at Stan’s checkout. Everyone starts with a little cash.
Selling: drag your stuff onto Stan’s counter to see what he’ll pay, then confirm. He pays half. Of course he does.
Mehville Metro: stairs go down from a plaza by the south street into a big underground station with two tracks.

Home Land isn’t empty anymore. Something is shuffling around out there. Slowly. Very slowly.

Real houses: the campers are gone. Every plot has a two-storey Victorian house now, each in its own colour.
Shadows aren’t pitch black anymore, so you can actually see the house fronts.
Fences and walls follow the hills instead of sinking into them, and the wall between Home Land and Mehville is full height now.
A sign over the road gate: “You are now leaving Home Land.” And on the way back: “Your couch missed you.”
The giant MEH letters went missing. There’s a MISSING poster on the hill now. Have you seen them?
Lazy zombies now wander Home Land. They shuffle a bit, stand around a lot, and some of them stop for a snack. They don’t bite yet. Meh.
Sprint: hold Shift to run.
Change your keys: Settings → Controls. Click a key, press the new one. Done.
Easter eggs: Home Land now hides 5 of them. The map tells you how many are in each area. Where they are? Not telling. Good luck.
Joining a friend’s game no longer leaves you stuck in place.

A big day. You can carry stuff now, there’s a map, the ground looks like actual ground, and the settings finally do things.

Backpack: press I (or Tab). 20 slots plus a hotbar. Keys 1 to 9 put things in your hand, and your friends can see what you’re holding.
The map: press M. It opens on the area you’re in, with a button to see the whole island. Zoom, drag, and see where your friends are.
New ground: real grass with clover patches, and a forest floor of needles and leaves under the trees. No more stripes.
Lighting fixed: it was way too bright, and it changed when you stepped on and off a plot. Not anymore.
Trees don’t pop and change as you walk up to them now.
The sharp bit on the mountain is smoothed out.
Graphics settings: Meh, Low, Medium, High and Epic, render distance, brightness, and an Apply button. The ocean goes easier on older PCs.
Ultra Epic: its own “test your PC” button, with a warning every time. It loads everything first so nothing pops in while you walk. Your PC will sound like a jet. You were warned.

Home Land went from a big empty field to a place people could actually live. Meh, but cozy.

Your plot sits right on the road: a camper to live in, a parking spot, a car (press E to drive... it doesn’t, yet) and your own mailbox.
Woods behind the plots, with a path up to a lookout tower.
A junkyard, with a trail through the trees to get there.
A community farm with a wheat field, a barn, and a fishing pond.
A train stops behind the houses, and the track disappears into tunnels at both ends.
A practice yard, Meh Square at the entrance, and a giant MEH sign on the hill. Because of course.
Next door, Mehville got its wall and a first rough layout.

The game is being rebuilt from scratch, properly this time. Well. More properly.

One big open world: walk between areas, no loading screens. Mehville and Home Land in the middle, four areas around them, and Toxic Island across the sea.
Your own plot: everyone gets one big 50 × 50 m plot in Home Land.
Co-op for up to 8 players, hosted by players on Steam.
