Easter is here!
*ahem*
Easter was here!
Introducing Isle's first (belated) Seasonal Event!
Our resident artist, in a burst of inspiration, concocted an absolutely majestic Easter costume one evening. Refusing to let such a vivid masterpiece go to waste, I suddenly realized it was necessary to implement a small event and an entire Layered Armor system to accommodate.
This update also includes a couple new features that were ready enough to be pushed alongside the event, including the oft-requested Equipment Sets! New story content is in the works and coming along nicely, but wasn't at the level of polish/balance I wanted it to be at to make in time for this update. However, it should be on its way soon~
Features
- Become the egg! Eggs have started appearing around the Isles, and only you seem to have noticed. Collect 8 different eggs from across the locales and various systems, and the "Tercet Best" layered armor is yours to keep! It offers no stat benefits, but can visually appear above any armor you choose to wear! The event runs until May 5th, at which point all the eggs will vanish as mysteriously as they came.
- Equipment Sets! Swap hunters between entire sets of Armor/Weapons at the touch of a button! Once unlocked through Village Construction, you will be able to create 2 separate Equipment loadouts and quickly switch your Hunters between them whenever desired. No more unoptimized gathering because it was too much a pain to swap back and forth (hopefully)! More equipment sets will be unlocked with future updates.
- Achievements! This has been in the cards for a long while, and the bones of it are finally here! Unlock 12 achievements, and bask in the completion number going up! Currently very early in its implementation, but it's robust enough that Steam Achievements should finally be coming with the next content update!
Full patch notes:
04/23/25 - 0.2.7 - Eggcellent Update
NEW CONTENT:
- Achievements! Very WIP atm, suggestions appreciated. Found in the old 'Objectives Log' book button (Steam Achievements on the way)
- Easter Event! Collect Eggs to get purely cosmetic layered armor!
- And with that, a layered armor system! Currently only supports the new Easter set, but will be expanded upon with newer sets

- Finally added the remaining missing weapon icon textures
FIXES:
- Fixed a potential bug when dragging a hunter into the Quest/Boat slot they were already in
- Refinery no longer shows lower odds if no items are in the Input
- Locale highlights on the Expeditions map no longer carry over when switching Isles
- Cleaned up some subtle armor visual layering issues
