Hello adventurers! Since Odyssey released back in April, we've been steadily observing players, and applying feedback into the game. We've released three or four official patches already, and we think it's time to really hit the ground running with this new update with Update 1.1 The Bar Crawl!
The update is arriving on June 30, and this is what you can expect to see:
Routine bug fixes/patching
New side quest
Dev Commentary DLC (free)
Steam Soundtrack release
In a new side quest, meet Iosef in the Eastplains town of Ixonia, in the newly added tavern, and he'll set you off an epic quest to travel to each tavern in the game world! You'll meet new characters, visit new locations, and more importantly, be rewarded for your efforts! Coming with this update is three new tavern locations: Ixonia, Sun Prairie, and Kor'rin Temples.
Once you've completed your bar crawl, you can download the new (free) DLC, which introduces our developer commentary into the game! If you're interested in hearing behind the scenes of how and why we made the game the way we did -- and you like doing a little bit scavenger hunting, then this is perfect for you. Enabling the DLC will allow you to interact with special developer comment nodes peppered all throughout the game world. Some of these dev comments also show off charts, or concept art, or props used for the game. There's over 100 developer comments to find!
The game's official soundtrack is also releasing on Steam at the same time. The OST is over 2 hours and over 40 tracks of music.
GAME WORLD UPDATES:
Kor'rin Temples has been greatly expanded on, below you can see the before and after:
Opening up Kor'rin's town area means there's new merchants and NPCs, sadly, Kor'rin is still a pretty isolated area, but we hope you find it worth exploring more and returning to, in the future. We would like to use it as a staging ground for even more quests.
On the topic of merchants, there are now signs next to available shops, which will help you figure out what services they offer, such as healing, gear, consumables, and more.
Finally, we've done even more optimization to the game. Systems of all kinds should now see a regular boost to FPS while playing the game. With the game finally released, it's been much easier to spend time specifically hunting down performance oversights.
