Dear Protectors of the Light,
We appreciate your loyalty and devotion to fighting off the Veil while we continue to make improvements to the world of Age of Darkness.
The Watchtower continues to be an integral Building for those who need assistance finding their way in the Darkness. Between Death Nights, the Watchtower will indicate the straight-line direction of the next closest unrevealed Point of Interest, regardless of distance.
Along with this new feature, we have focused on bug fixing and Quality of Life improvements. The most notable being improvements to collision to prevent Nightmares stacking on top of each other during Death Nights. We have also fixed resourcing issues with Farms, Unit stats, troublesome Tier 1 Nightmares appearing in every Death Night along with addressing notable crashes and save / load issues.
For those who are scared of the dark, let the Watchtower guide you and put you on the right path. Stay alert and keep a watchful eye out, this update may be light but there are many exciting things happening behind the scenes that we will be announcing soon…
As always please continue to report bugs to our Steam forums or in the bug reporting channel on our Discord, as we’re constantly monitoring those channels.
Check out the full patch notes below:
