# Voxel-Village v0.0.8

**Stage:** Alpha · **Released:** 7 October 2026 · **Public:** snapshot, password protected

The eighth alpha of the pre-beta line, and the first one you can download. It is
a snapshot: Windows x64 and Linux x64 builds, behind a password. Windows x86 is
coming soon.

## What's new

**Building** — slate roofs; wooden roofs of lapped boards on rafters; realistic
plank and stone stairs that are easier to place; doors as their own piece, hung
in a doorway or log door frame; log door frames, wide windows, half walls and
sharpened log palisades; mortared stone walls. Roofs need beams under them and
upper storeys need a stone foundation. Builds are 1.5x larger, distant builds
use a lighter level of detail, and touching pieces no longer flicker.

**Player and world** — true first-person body; crouching (C); slipping and
ragdoll tuned so you stop slipping in dug holes and caves; clay soil and clay
furnace; torches; stacked logs no longer fly into the air.

**Graphics** — chunk seams fixed; darker caves; natural clouds; soft shadows
under logs and boulders; faster loading.

**Interface and audio** — one minimal menu style everywhere, a flyover world
behind the title, fullscreen (F11), title music with the track name and skip /
back; zombies can't hit you through walls.
