TLDR:
Added:
- A new area, with new enemies, new challenges, new items and a new boss.
- Added stationary defensive units - mechanical ballistas.
- 18 new items, including: a new set of armor, steampunk nail rifle, melee weapon, throwable decrease armor potion, sword, and two new barrel types, which had been suggested/requested :)
- You can now delete characters, in the load game menu.
- Two new achievements.
- Deconstructing Table, which allows you to deconstruct items.
Changed:
- You can now craft bedrolls, sacks, campfires and other useful items for any type of relevant resource. (This was a great suggestion!) For example any type of hide can be used for bedrolls, the game will search for and select the cheapest one in your inventory.
- Mined sand and clay will spawn nearer you so won't waste time collecting it.
- You can now hear all villagers and settlers short intro-story again through a new dialogue option. Same with the pinboard and the old "looking to settle"-messages.
- Earth essence is way cheaper to buy. (12 gold instead of 80)
- The Clayshaper Potion (cursed earth) now also requires 7 tomb shrooms to craft. This is to limit farming that boss which was to easy and profitable.
- Both blunderbuses, Teags baby and the old one, have longer reloading time. They where a little too good.
- When buying and crafting new items you will be notified when your inventory is full.
- Crafting barrels will now give you three each time, so they are actually useful - cheap but take up much space.
Fixed:
- Auto-resizing should work well with larger monitors as well. (Finally!)
- Sleeping in a cave/dungeon will no longer cause you to wake in near total darkness.
- When changing graphic settings there will be a smooth fade instead of an annoying blink.
A little more info:
I probably added/changed/fixed some more stuff, but I believe these are the most important ones. I really hope you enjoy this patch - it is the first handcrafted big dungeon in the game. I hope it works out - let me know what you think!
As always, many thanks for your support, feedback, ideas and suggestion - they mean the world to me and to the game! <3
If you enjoy Hollow Island, please leave a review to give the game as chance to reach more people!
Lots of love and best wishess//

PS: Next patch might take a little longer: I want to add three new areas and introduce magic to the game. Magic would be available almost from the beginning, so at least two of the new areas will be rather early game difficulty, but I will be sure to add some fun stuff for end game players as well!
Also, I will take a vacation soon and be a little harder to reach the nearest weeks, just so you know! =)
