◆ Critical Bug Fixes and Improvements
- The simulation field has been added for performance improvement.
The game had been activating physics processing for all buildings and items on the map, but it'll activate it only for the buildings and items that are within a certain distance from a player.
This change might disable the current automated buildings that are far from a player. Please deploy "Artificial Monoliths" if it's necessary.
(Detail)
• The concept of the chunk(20m x 20m) has been introduced to the game. Only 5x5 chunks with a player at the center will be activated for physics processing.
• The chunks that are far from a player will be deactivated, and the buildings and items within will be stopped.
• Even though the chunks are far from a player, you can still activate them by deploy "Artificial Monoliths" in them. "Artificial Monolith" activates the chunk that it's deployed; "Artificial Monolith 3x3" activates the 3x3 chunks.
• Items loaded on conveyor belts will not be stopped even though they are in deactivated chunks.
- "Auto Target" has been added. You will turn in the direction of a near enemy when you perform melee attacks. You can toggle on/off via the input setting screen.
- "Aim Assist" has been added. The camera will move slowly when the reticle is on the enemy while aiming with a ranged weapon. You can adjust sensitivity via the input setting screen.
- The names of the mob states have been renamed due to the implementation of pets. The state of mobs with floating hearts is "Charm"; the state of mobs with a saddle mounted is "Pet".
- The display position of the weapon slot's item stacks has been fixed.
◆ Newly Added Content
- The new buildings, "Artificial Monolith" and "Artificial Monolith 3x3", have been added. They can activate the physics processing of the chunks that are far from a player.
- The 5 new delivery quest NPC have been added besides "Fergus the Blacksmith". The delivery quest system has been changed along with these new NPCs.
• Delivery quest NPCs will appear on each island. The type and number of the NPCs will be randomized depending on as island. (Some NPCs will not appear if the level of an island is low.)
• The requested items to deliver them are varied based on the occupation of the NPCs. The higher level of an island, the more difficult request, and the better rewards.
• The delivery quests will be periodically updated, and each update changes the requested items. If you don't deliver items before the due time, the quest will be automatically abandoned, and the NPCs will make a new request.
• You can accept multiple delivery quests from the NPCs of "different occupations"; however, you can only accept the same delivery quest from the NPCs of "same occupations". Even though there are more than 1 NPCs with the same name and the same occupation on your island, they will not request different items nor make different delivery quests.
• You can obtain various rewards by delivering items to the delivery quest NPCs. More reward items will be added with future updates.
- The direction of the building will now be displayed before you deploy it.
- The new biome "Autumn Island" has been added! New monsters, such as Nocturnal bats, Jack O' Lantern, Cyclops, inhabit the island. There is the unique Griffon somewhere on the island too!
- The new biome "Empty Island" has been added. There are almost no resources on this island but the vast empty area to play with!
- The new weapon type "Gun" and "Ammunition" have been added.
A gun is a very different weapon type from other weapon types.
• The damage of the gun is not affected by the player's ATK and MATK. The ATK displayed on the gun is a rough standard.
• The gun inflicts fixed damage to enemies, but the damage will be affected by the damage rate based on enemies' body parts, such as a headshot.
• Each gun has proper distances. It will inflict less damage when you shoot from outside of proper distances.
• The concept of distance attenuation is applied to the damage. It will inflict tremendously reduced damage when you shoot from very far places.
• You cannot shoot unless you equip proper ammo.
• The parameters, such as grouping, fire rate, reload speed, and movement speed, are varied based on the gun.
• You can aim with the right-click.
We'll continuously add more guns and ammunition with future updates.
