Big thanks for all the feedback you've been sending our way!
The list of updates is long, so let's take a quick look at the highlights:
Map
This was probably the most common request. New map features—like zooming, panning, and custom markers—should help keep you on track! There are still things about the Map UI that we want to improve in the future, but we think this is a solid start.
Fast Travel
You can now use Fast Travel between all discovered Bell Towers, both in your villages and in NPC villages. Yet another reason to gather those bells (and keep your purse full of coins)! There will be more (non-Bell related) Fast Travels spots in the future.
Pause
The game will now pause when you open the in-game menu in single-player mode. Perfect for when you want to prepare yourself another green tea.
These are just three out of dozens of improvements we have made in the past two weeks – and we don’t intend to slow down. For us, Early Access launch was just the start of a new phase in development, one that we're excited to undertake with your feedback, so please keep it coming! We're giving it our all—working on quick bug fixes and quality of life improvements, and at the same time laying the groundwork for major updates coming this year. Hope you’ll follow us along the way!
