Hi everyone

Time for a maintenance update for the Falconeer, here's the breakdown
updated to a newer unity version, should improve performance and compatibility
fixed a fresh game corruption where you would start with several items, permits and locations unlocked
fixed that the starting treasures near Dunkle wouldn't spawn
fixed a visual issue with sails
fixed that the "find the cave entrance" message pops up with the train mission
rebalanced the scramble and defense missions, they are now epic in scale with lots of defenders added so they become more accesible without feeling smaller.
prevented a zero vector causing raycasting failures
reset the player rigidbody after death and respawn to prevent weird jitters and slowdown
increased price of green sublime ammopot

Sorry this took a bit longer, have been otherwise engaged with shipshaper and this franchise has gotten a lot larger

Cheerio,
Tomas

ShipShaper Demo arrives now!
Something new arrives, something that is about my love for boats and ships. As you may have noticed , ships play a vital role in the Falconeer, and each ship is unique. Handcrafted little homages to the age of sail and early steampowered warships. And For Bulwark (my other game)

So some helpful players brought some very precise feedback on why the aiming and controls weren't clicking. Developer tunnelvision was in full effect here cuz basically the vertical controls weren't the same sensitivity as turning controls. Making everything feel slightly off and causing much nosediving.
Also fixed the rolls not responding
Vertical sensitivity reduced to match horizontal sensitivity, without sacrificing agility, just matched
reduced the auto leveling so vertical aiming isn't fighting the auto leveling
fixed the rolls and dives not triggering if you pressed the directional controls after pressing the roll button modifier (trigger or E).. so it feels more responsive now.
I wish I fixed this earlier,,, doooh...

Underrated avian action adventure The Falconeer just got a free remaster that overhauls 'literally everything' about it: 'I hope and pray this remaster shows the dedication I have for my games'
Originally released in 2020, The Falconeer is an aerial combat RPG about piloting enormous predatory birds through the skies of a crumbling oceanic empire. It was warmly received on release, nominated for a BAFTA and earning a respectable score of 78 in our The Falconeer Review .

remaster patch #1 live.
Hi Everyone , the firs proper hotfix is now live. It fixes some user reported issues and hopefully some minor QoL issues. Mouse and Keyboard players will hopefully find that the targeting reticule is closer to where shots land and overall more usable. In the meanwhile steam input
Hi Everyone , the firs proper hotfix is now live. It fixes some user reported issues and hopefully some minor QoL issues. Mouse and Keyboard players will hopefully find that the targeting reticule is closer to where shots land and overall more usable.

In the meanwhile steam input has been turned on as this seemed to fix a lot of controller troubles, with controllers not being detected.

I will try to make a linux build at some point, I can make that promise, and if its easy then yes I've heard all the messages loud and clear. But will only try some time after launch launch, it's also a bit dangerous to put anything up that is that untested or some quick slopwork cuz I wanna please folks fast. But its been bumped up on my agenda for sure. I don't own any linux hardware besides a dying steamdeck (it is currently refusing to charge, sigh).

VR wise, Thanks for all the positive responses, it's really illustrated the lack of easy statistics cuz I think there are a lot of VR fans out there I was simply never aware off. (I don't see you in the forums or discord often, are there never any support issues with the VR version?, you are very quiet audience, or technically very competent). At the moment I cannot tell if Falconeer can afford more work yet, but VR is on my list as well, reasonably top of mind. I have an old index, I suspect off which the lighthouses are defect(making the VR falconeer was the last time I used it), and I promise if that next gen VR gear from valve happens to see if I can acquier a devkit or borrow one.
So changelist:
made the right stick camera softer
tied the camera more directly to the left stick on gamepad, removed unnessecary deadcurve
added colored aiming reticules, its the white box in the gui colors settings, so the 4th box is the reticule color.
fixed ships from going upside down
fixed localisation text typos
moved the mouse aim reticule closer to the bird, so your shots land on the reticule , and the reticule isn't showing long distance aiming for a more accurate feel.
enemy flyers won't investigate first contact if you are stealthy in the maw (important for chapter 4 missions and epilogue)
tried to reduce hiccups in the camera orbit code
fixed that the wrong key prompt was shown when you need to fire in the tutorial
made it that using the subtarget button if you don't have anything targeted, will then target something near.
the Dash wasn't rebindable , now fixed

Hi everyone

I saw a few issues about controllers not being recognized, it turns out a lot were solvable by turning on steamInput, so I've made that the default. If you had your gamepad not being recognized, please check again if its better, or check in game properties if Steaminput is turned on.

Other issues and Improvement came out of the forums , here's the list:

from the earlier hotfix on BETA:
tied the camera more directly to the left stick on gamepad, removed unnessecary deadcurve
added colored aiming reticules, its the white box in the gui colors settings
fixed ships from going upside down
fixed localisation text typos
moved the mouse aim reticule closer to the bird, so your shots land on the reticule , and the reticule isn't showing long distance aiming for a more accurate feel.

These changes are available if you go to game properties/betas and select the remaster beta in the pulldown. Then the game will update. I am hesitant to put these changes live, since its evening.. but if anyone wants to confirm they are good, that would be nice. if not I will launch this hotfix tommorow morning

Watch on YouTube
After weeks of intensive Beta testing and near daily improvements and new features, the Remaster is finally live. I am not going to wax poetic on the emotional journey, except that my anxiety is at peak levels. I hope and pray this remaster shows the dedication I have for my games and that playing them is more than a quick experience, it's taking part in a creative journey that is now going on for over a decade. Couldn't do it without all of you. Now lets get into some details.. There is a lot to go over here :
Regarding VR:
The VR version has not been remastered, if the remaster gains enough traction, that might become an option. But at this time I don't have the means to allocate time to it.. Perhaps for the future. It remains Accessible as a Legacy boot feature.
Follow me as a developer.
Buying the games is support enough, but if you want to take an extra step consider following me on steam, it doesn't offer much (tho Valve have indicated more social features are coming) but you will see notifications if I release or announce new projects. And it helps me remain visible within the algorithm,

CHANGELIST:
it's important to note that even though I kept some notes, many changes were made at night or in the spur of the moment, so I cannot guarantee everything is 100% covered. Flying solo has massive drawbacks in certain areas. And making mechanics is often more passionate work than documenting changes.
