Hello.
Another big content update this month! This phase is all about adding in loads of cool new stuff, so we hope you're enjoying it. Pumpkin contains an entire new environment, and two NPCs. As ever, though, we want feedback.
We're up to our sixth release already, and we need you guys now more than ever. Test the new stuff. Talk to us on the forums. We really need your help to get all the new content from these last couple of updates properly integrated and balanced.
The changelog is below and is clearly somewhat shorter than last months epic, but that's largely due to the sheer effort involved in producing the main highlights this month, namely: two new enemy types and a whole new biome to play in. There were, of course, myriad bugs associated with adding these features that were squashed but don't appear on this list...
But that's not all we've done! Veterans may find the switcheroo we've performed with Inventory and Loot window positions a bit of a shock, but it's definitely a better layout. We've noticed a lot of people on Youtube (and at the Eurogamer Expo, yeah we crammed a huge, four-day game show in this month too...) assumed the window on the left is the Loot they've just accessed, and the window on the right their inventory. Probably because Westerners tend to read left to right. So we've switched 'em. Once you get used to the switch it's much better, for slotting equipment if nothing else!
Other than that the loot tables have once again had a total reworking. Loot is now much more in keeping with pre-Haggis levels. If your first experience of the game was last month's “Dead Haggis” update you'll probably find food and good loot seem terribly rare by comparison, but it's much closer to the balance we want. Hoard those bandages, stockpile that food...
Finally there are the usual clutch of bugfixes and tweaks to explore, so get stuck in and get posting!
