Hey Beekeepers!
So since the Playtest has ended there's been a bunch of tweaks and bug fixes, so we wanted to update the demo to keep it in-line with the final game - especially with Steam NextFest looming on the horizon (Saturday!)
This update has a bunch of gamepad stuff, balance stuff, and then a butt-tonne of bug fixes. Enjoy!
Changes
- Added a Now Playing notification so you know the name of your favourite track!
- Added a "High Contrast Slots" option in the Accessibility menu
- You can now hold shift while middle-clicking to not only gather up as many of the same item (middle click) but move it to another menu also
- Menu Objects now need two hammer hits to be picked up, giving you a chance to avoid the dreaded stuff explosion with your crates
- Dpad on gamepad can now be used on main menus as well as L stick
- B on gamepad now goes back in main menus
- Added ability to R stick click to sort on crates on gamepad mode
- You can now use the dpad for chapter selection on gamepad as well as R stick
- You can now use the dpad for mechanisms on gamepad as well as R stick
- You can now use the dpad for general slot movement in-game as well as R stick
- Saving the game now takes a little bit longer (1 whole second!!) but now it won't freeze the game so you can just keep on truckin', don't say I never treat you all
- Added tooltips to make it clear that pressing escape on a highlighted menu closes ONLY that menu and pressing escape when not highlighting a menu closes ALL open menus
- Updated "Microscope It Out" quest to explain the recessive + buff symbols (≡, +, -)
- Added the ! bubble above the player when drowning to make it clear you are drowning and will be teleported if you remain "stuck"
- Updated scaling for 4K monitors, it was scaling at 4x when it should of been at 5x (3200+) and 6x (3840+) respectively (I can't afford fancy monitors so I didn't know this soz)
- Doubled the amount of honey made per frame extraction (5 frames = minimum 1 bottle worth, higher productivity trait = more honey obvs)
- Rebalanced some of the bee special products to encourage selling honey/mead for better profits (honey bottle sells for $15, mead for $20)
- Bottles now only cost $1 each
- Tweaked world gen for the demo to try and avoid awkward lake cut-offs
- Weather, recipe, altar, and noticeboard notifications now auto-dismiss after a short period on PC like they already do on console
- Clock in the corner now explicitly says day/dawn/dusk/night
- Added a special "braid" hairstyle for Sto!
