Hi everyone! We have another small update for you!
We implemented SPRINTING!
Sprinting uses the skipping animation so you can basically skip whenever you want and you'll be faster too! We also increased Bertas speed so that she is now faster than the sprinting.
Forest Bathing
We made a change to the map that only players who start a new game will see: we covered the world in clouds and you can unlock each area by using the forest bathing spots. We hope that this gives forest bathing more meaning and also that it's fun to seek out the golden beams whenever you enter a new area! Existing players won't see these clouds, since we didn't want to annoy you 🙏
If you're wondering about Localisation....
On another note, we've started working on localising in GERMAN! Meaning we are almost done reviewing all the dialogues and collecting the wordcount to then hand over to a localisation partner. So hopefully within a month we'll have some news on the German version of the game!
Here are the patchnotes for todays Build:
Changes
Added sprinting using the shift key (tap not hold)
Increased Berta max speed by 36%
Added tips to loading screens
Updated field guide to stop reverting to the first page after finishing the "discover card" animation
General improvements to map performance and stability
Increased min zoom distance by 30%
Added clouds that cover the map and can be removed with forest bathing (only visible on new game)
Fixes
Fixed NPC doubling issues in various quests
Fixed an issue where Landmark Location markers and Community Project Location markers placed on the map had collisions enabled (leading to movement obstructions)
Fixed camera collision with various models (Elderwiese Farm, Tunnel leading out of Market District)
Adjusted several collisions around town
Fixed plants missing from Area Data
Have a great week everyone!
