Greetings, guys!
We're releasing another small patch with glimpses of end-game content. This is of course still a work in progress, and some of the features are WIP, but we really hope that this makes a good impression.
We would also like to thank you for supporting us in Early Access. Everyone who bought the game during EA will receive a pirate costume, a tricorn hat with its own stats, and a unique haircut to help you live out your corsair adventure!
This is a tradition for our team, and a way to thank you for trusting us and travelling this arduous journey through thick and thin. All Early Access adopters will receive it for free.
The heaviest and by far the most important change this patch brings is the addition of new characters tied to major and plot-related quests throughout the game. Existing characters have also received further developments to their storylines and dialogues. Kroplys, Wykint (though these two are still WIP), and our sorcerer friend Agranat are among them.
We have also added the Pipe-leaf merchant and his wife to the store, the postmaster to the post office, a mysterious sea captain to Beggars Corner, the whole Alchemist encounter, and more.
Quality of Life improvements in this version include the addition of a new crafting station in the Outskirts and the finalisation of the tool-stacking display issue. Bows now have visual differences between crafting tiers; gamepad quick-menu access has been greatly improved; NPCs no longer spawn in a single spot after combat; and the camera now always takes the correct angle when entering a house.
Bug fixes include numerous cutscene improvements, saving issues no longer occur in the second level of the mines, Kerewyd no longer gives out infinite XP and much more. Please read the changelog for further information, and see you on the release date! We are very excited and as always eagerly await your feedback on the forums and Discord.
