That's another update out for the full game. I've stopped posting game news about every update as we approach our Early Access, as I don't want to spam too much, and they're coming thick and fast. If you want full patch notes, you can find them on our Discord or in-game, but below are some highlights.
Comparison Tooltip Fix
When comparing items, you should now find the comparison tooltip to be much more functional and obvious as to which direction it is comparing. No matter what you mouse over, it'll always compare the item you're hovering over to the ones you currently have equipped in those slots.
This makes for some lengthy tooltips as you get higher level, but they should be much more useful.
Quick Sell Toggle
When quick selling items, you now get some handy checkboxes as tooltips in case you want to exclude anything from the list. You can also now favourite items more quickly by hitting the F key when they're selected, and this will exclude them from quick selling entirely.
Translations
Our translators have been hard a work with 子辰spenda and HAKIMODO bringing both the Simplified Chinese and Polish up to fully human translated.
It bears repeating that all languages will be fully human-translated before we exit Early Access, and I'll be doing what I can to keep them as playable as possible as we add new content.
Demo Removal
We're just 10 days out from the Early Access launch! To stay focused on making the best version of the game possible, the demo will be coming down from the store soon and won’t be updated on other platforms for now. Don’t worry though, it'll be back sometime after launch.
Below are the more important highlights of the last 5 updates. You can see full details in-game.
