Hi everyone,
Last week we worked on implementing one of the most wanted features: item stacking. Although inventory is 50 squares big, inventory management was getting harder after mid-game. Especially in large map option which requires more traveling to sell items and buy potions. So now potions, gems and materials can all be stacked up to 9 units. It opens up inventory space a lot. With this improvement, we earned more coins per expedition in our playtests.
The other thing we worked on is the fire fungus for the new crystal caves. Since these are natural caves, exploding barrels were not a good fit. So we changed them to funguses to better accommodate the environment.
Fire fungus will explode when attacked like the exploding barrel. It may be a little more powerful though. It will sometimes drop semi-valuable material called fire fungus ash. A poisonous fungus is in the works too but since spiders are immune to poison, these will be for another dungeon.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
