Donify 0.8.0-alpha.1 adds indoor flight to the alpine village. Enter through open doors and windows, cross furnished rooms, and fly back outside in all 24 main residential buildings. The twelve detailed reference houses have two or three furnished levels connected by a clear vertical flight passage.

Walls, floors, ceilings and major furniture retain collisions. The updated runtime pack includes the rebuilt reference houses, ready to use without Blender. The optional source pack contains their editable authoring files. Both packs are pinned by the release’s asset manifest and verified during download.

The release also includes the block-tour recording scenario and native 4K capture options developed after 0.7.1-alpha.1. The existing public videos show their recorded outdoor builds; they are not demonstrations of the new interiors.

This is a source release and prerelease, for Linux with Unreal Engine 5.8.1 and Vulkan. It requires a separately installed Unreal Engine and compilation; no standalone packaged game is included.

git clone --branch v0.8.0-alpha.1 https://github.com/w4coder/donify.git
cd donify
export DONIFY_ENGINE_DIR="/path/to/UnrealEngine5.8"
python3 Scripts/assets.py fetch
./Scripts/build.sh
./Scripts/launch.sh

For an existing installation, close the game, fetch and select the release tag, run python3 Scripts/assets.py fetch --force, rebuild, then relaunch. Preserve any intentionally edited runtime assets before --force replaces differing manifest files. A running session keeps its previously loaded geometry.

The runner requires 23 markers, including six indoor scenarios. See the release validation record for checks actually run. Indoor exploration remains manual; door and window leaves stay fixed open, attics remain decorative, and the existing waypoint mission stays outdoors. Cross-platform and packaged builds remain unverified.
