Hey everyone,
We've been listening. Since launch, one of the most consistent pieces of feedback we've received has been about the camera... and today, we're doing something about it in a big way.
Update 1.1 is now live on Steam, and it's one of the most substantial updates we've shipped. Here's what's new:
🎥 All-New Camera System
We didn't patch the old camera. We replaced it entirely.
The new system was built from the ground up to give you a much better feel while exploring, mining, and navigating the world of Azura's Crystals. It handles tight spaces better, tracks the player more naturally, and overall makes the game easier and more enjoyable to play. This was the biggest single change in this update and we're really happy with how it turned out.
🏃 Faster Movement & Mining
We've also increased the player's movement speed and the speed at which you mine crystals. The game should feel snappier and more satisfying to play from the very first steps.
⚔️ Combat Improvements
Several combat system refinements have been made to smooth out rough edges and make fights feel more consistent and polished.
🐛 Bug Fixes
A number of bugs have been fixed, many of which were flagged directly by you through reviews and feedback. Thank you... it genuinely helps.
Console players, we hear you too. This same update is currently being prepared for PS5 and Nintendo Switch and will go through platform certification as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted on timing.
We're a small team and every piece of feedback matters. If you've put the game down because of any of these issues, now might be a good time to jump back in.
Thanks for your patience and support.
