On our discord server several players indicated that they enjoyed interacting with the rumor system, and wanted more opportunities to interact with it. For that reason we added a new item ‘fragmented notes’ that you can occasionally find at abandoned campsites. If you have 3 of these notes you can study them to gain a rumor on the road. Even better, most old libraries now offer you an opportunity to study 2 of such notes to get a rumor.
We also brought back the option to customize your character’s name and voice in the in-game menu. For the time being this is only really supported by mouse and keyboard.
Gameplay Changes:
- Adds a new item: Fragmented Notes. If you have 3 of these you can study them to gain a new rumor.
- Adds a new type of desk in libraries that you can use to study 2 fragmented notes to gain a new rumor.
- Occasionally you can find fragmented notes at old campsites.
- Adds the option to customize your character’s name and voice in the character sheet. (Only supported by mouse and keyboard for now).
Bug Fixes:
- If you activate the shifting eye, but are not wearing the Sky Mask, the appropriate text is shown.
- Potential fix for the door to the Staff of Yendor in the temple being accidentally left open after visiting and exploring certain adventure sites.
This will very likely be the last update of 2024. The upcoming holidays will interfere with our regular patch schedule for at least 2 weeks. So the next patch is not expected until January 8. Unless there are some pressing bugs that need to be dealt with before that.
