0.9.18
First of all, this update lays some groundwork for a new questline - the first of a series of more significant updates to come that bring more content to the game. With that said, here is the list for this particular update!
Demo
- 🚨 Reminder 🚨 The free demo includes the first Act of the main story including all relevant side quests. You can get a feel of the game this way before purchasing the full version. All saves and achievements will carry across!
- All changes listed below which are relevant have also been rolled into the Demo version. Enjoy new players! 🤘
Updates
- Skye's Quests: The first quest from Skye's storyline is now available! Begin your journey in understanding more about the Shadow Beasts by assisting Skye with her research.
- Skye can now be found at a new research camp near the beaches in the Worm's Tail Island region.
- Skye's quests are an optional late-game addition and is available to the player after Act 3 of the game.
- Obtain a useful new "Key Item" for completing this quest.
- Skye has been removed from the initial "Introduce Yourself" quest and her introduction is now handled by her own interaction.
- New environmental details have been added to the Worm's Tail Region and the Magisters Ruins area.
- The map screen has been updated to feature the new environmental details.
- The Quest HUD will now provide a countdown timer for quests that are based on time progression. (As apposed to the previously vague "Wait a while..." text)
- Reduced the time taken for Lucas to build in the "Set the Stage" quest from 5 days down to 3 days.
- The village building camera movement is now restricted to the area in which it can build, and can no longer move far outside the game's relevant region.
- The main quest "A Blocked Cave" will now be added to the players journal when exploring within the area of proximity to the cave in the Illisor Steppes region. (Previously the player needed to interact specifically with the cave to trigger the quest).
Bugfixes
- Various fixes to spelling throughout the game and dialogue.
- Fixed an issue where the player could pick up furniture items when their inventory is full, causing a loss of those items.
- Fixed an issue where the snap rotation options were off by 10 degrees on two of the angles.
- Fixed an issue where free camera movement was possible in the village building mode, where it should be more restricted.
- Demo Only: Fixed a rare issue where the player could get soft-locked with time based quest progression due to the Spring-only season loop. Reaching the end of Spring in the demo should now trigger completion of these quests.
New Village Buildings
A new building with their own benefits have been added to Lucas' village building options.
- Raised Platform - available in Act 3.
New Blueprint Recipes
An assortment of new blueprints have been added to Lucas' shop allowing further customisation and decoration. These are available at different parts of the game progression:
- Fence Gate (which opens and closes based on proximity)
- Canopy Shelter (Orange)
- Canopy Shelter (Blue)
- Canopy Shelter (Red)
- Hay Bale
- Wooden Shelf
- Circular Stone Plinth
- Square Stone Plinth
- Weapon Rack
- Cart
- Crate (Wood)
- Crate (Wood Large)
- Crate (Clothed)
- Crate (Desert)
- Crate (Hard Wood)
- Spoiler Item: 4 different "hero statues" (available after game completion).
The screenshot below is just an example of what I have done with these new buildable items. I am looking forward to see what other people will do with them!
