ERESYS PATCH 0.5.7 MAP SYSTEM, LOCALIZATION UPDATE AND BUG FIXES & FUTURE CONTENT
In this patch we added a much requested feature, a map system! Additionally, we have reimplemented certain localized languages and introduced a matchmaking feature, while also fixing some more bugs that were reported by the community.
MAP SYSTEM
The map is no UI element, it is a physical piece of paper that needs to be picked up and equipped to use
-The map item can be found at the spawn areas
-Once picked up you can equip/unequip it by pressing "M" / Right D-pad
-The map is initially blank, it only contains the outline of the island
-As you explore and come across points of interest, like caves, important structures or certain safezones they will appear on your map as icons
-Once you are close to a point of interest and its icon has been unlocked, that icon will glow on the map
We wanted to help the player navigate the island but at the same time we don't want to give out too much information, as well as not add any system that would take away the player's attention and break immersion, so we added this physical map, while it helps navigation players still need to be aware of their environment to understand their location and plan their next destination.
Lastly, players that are looking for a challenge or have the island layout memorized can just skip picking up the map, it is an entirely optional item.
LOCALIZATION SUPPORT
These languages have now been properly translated and are fully supported:
-Chinese
-German
90% of the text has been translated professionally however we had to use machine translation on the new text added in these last updates, if any errors are encountered, we will fix them in future updates, stay tuned more languages are on the way.
MENU ADDITION
-Added ¨Disable camera cuts¨ option in "Camera settings" menu,
Enabling this option will remove all camera cuts or "cutscenes" when a bloodsphere or idol piece is created
-Added Matchmaking queue button in "Join Hunt" menu
This button will make you join a matchmaking queue where it constantly searches for open public sessions and automatically joins when one is available.
Though keep in mind there are many people that play alone or in coop just with friends, so if you can't find any matches for a long time it would be recommended to host a session yourself with the public setting turned on!
-Added "map" tab in the cult guide, where players can read about the map mechanic
TWEAKS
-Tweaked % chances outcome when gathering victim blood on cursed ground
-Added warning announcement when you try to host a session, but there is no internet connection or the steam connection is unavailable
BUG FIXES
-Fixed a potential bug where victims on cursed grounds could give you blood even if you didn't have vials, or had them full
-Fixed some collision issues in the church, more specifically the hanging "decoration"
-Fixed more reported collision bugs regarding cliffs, rocks and other strange collision and texture issues,
-Other minor collision tweaks and fixes
We thank you for patiently waiting for the patches, and we hope you have fun playing!
REMINDER
This update is now live, if for whatever reason the update doesn't show up, restart steam.
And remember, for co-op sessions, all players must have the same game version! With this new patch, game version will be 0.5.7
FUTURE CONTENT
We are working on something big and scary, It will be mostly underground, puzzles, jumpscares, and Creepy protoplasmic abominations, keep your teammates close!!! more to be revealed very soon!
