Hello again from Dinogod! We truly appreciate everyone who has been playing Bounty Star and sharing their experiences, whether it be a wild Demon Gear rampage, Teddy Cotton explaining inscrutable and frightening explorations of self, or a best run of Home Run Glory! Today's update contains several gameplay improvements and additions, along with a number of additional bugfixes.
Steam Deck
Bounty Star is now Steam Deck verified! We adjusted some text that was a little too small to ensure the best experience while playing handheld.
Gameplay and Quality of Life Improvements and Additions
By popular request, the camera shoulder can now be swapped during play. See the glyph in the combat HUD.
All standard melee attacks can now be canceled into a block from the Combat Shield, improving its utility and ease of use.
The EMP now ignores Stability for bots and Raptors, similar to the Screamers for humans and dinos.
Wheat will now be automatically substituted for either Bread or Tortillas in recipes once Clem has the Turbo Mill
There are four new chests with additional lore books to be found!
Small improvements to the Bull Cannon's Gun Cancel to improve readability of its attack pattern.
