Odd Realm
Odd Realm Steam

Odd Realm is a 2D procedurally-generated settlement simulation game set in a fantasy world. You control a bunch of odd settlers and it is your task to build a settlement that is strong enough to withstand whatever comes your way.

That said, Patch 0.10.0.11 Beta has been made available for download. One of the most notable things about this update is the changes to how water and temperature work in the game.

Water and Temperature Physics

In the latest beta patch, the developers have made significant changes to some game aspects - one of which is giving the water its mass. Because of this, you now can drain ponds. This also fixes the bug where you can potentially cause flooding when you place a single water block on the surface.

In addition, the devs have made some changes to how the heat spreads in the game. Now, using a torch or building a fire pit inside greenhouses prevents snow from covering up the roof.
