Greetings Guardians!
Thank you so much for all the support and kindness you've shown our small team in the first week of our game's launch - we're overwhelmed with the amount of support! You've been incredibly helpful by sharing the bugs and issues you've encountered.
There are still issues to address and it's likely others will pop up, the five of us are quickly looking to address what we can by importance and volume and we've been hard at work implementing a number of fixes to issues you, our community highlighted. These include;
Gameplay changes & fixes
- We've added a Wisp after the glide cavern, to help guide the player towards Mosswood
- In the Sunfire passage, the door that requires pressure plates, now requires rope pulls to open it, allowing players to backtrack if they want
- The Raven logic has been updated. Now, Thought the Raven will return to you even if you choose not to follow her directions
- Murals now ignite regardless of Thought being with you or not. Now murals will always be lit, so you don't miss then on the change Thought has gone on her own little adventure..
- Tweaks to the Sunfire passage to make the area more consistent and streamlined
- The Guardian Intro Cutscenes now only play once per gameplay session
- Added an additional condition for Thought joining you, fixing for players who managed to miss her
