Update 1.04 Beta Test Release notes
New Features
- Photomode - Press 1 on the keyboard and D-Pad Down on controller to enter Photomode and take awesome screenshots with ease!
Instructions on how to use the photo mode are included on screen.
- 3D Prompts UI - Instead of the 2D prompts on the bottom left of the screen nobody seemed to notice we now have 3D prompts that show up on a usable object.
Improvements
- Wisp Overhaul - The wisp is now much more helpful and will show the player routes and objectives.
- Fox Stamina - You can now run as long as you want without having to slow down.
- PC Controls - We have added Bark/Spirit Bark to Left Click on the Mouse and Tail Wag to Right Click when using a keyboard and mouse on PC. This makes it much easier to move while barking and tail wagging.
