New updates to In Exilium include some bug fixes, and it is my birthday this weekend! Make me a happy man on my birthday and check out the game. In Exilium will be on a special birthday discount this weekend.
Fixed issues:
- Antivenom necklace now works correctly
- Legendary Items (Like Titan Armor) no longer consume imperium stones while crafting
- Steam achievements are submitted every time an achievement is accomplished, regardless of whether it has been claimed in game yet.
Known Issues:
Unfortunately there are some issues still that are probably not going to get fixed. First is the "Stuck Saving" issues. This bug is very random and happens pretty rarely, but every now and then, when transferring to a new map the "Saving" screen will get stuck for prolonged periods of time. This is due to how the version of Unity the game is built with, serializes data files. Good news is no data is ever lost, and actually all that's happening is it is falling WAAAYYY off a performance cliff. It only happens when the save file is saved in a particular configurations. There are workarounds, you can wait it out. It could take between 30 seconds and 5 minutes, but eventually it will get serialized and you will be able to continue. Second workaround is you can exit the game, start it back up, and go to a different map (changing the save file configuration) then return to the map that was giving you trouble. Like I said, there is no data loss, so save file will never get corrupted, it's just the way I save files has more layers of depth than Unity is expecting when it serializes out to the binary file, so sometimes it falls way off a performance cliff. To fix this would cause all existing save files to no longer work... so it unfortunately can't get fixed without some serious work.
Second issue is that *some* non- US keyboard layouts have problems with shortcut keys. Once again, this is a limitation with the version of Unity I'm using where it doesn't support certain key codes, I would also need to create custom key binding support, which is possible, but Unity still may not recognize the new Key Codes. A bad workaround if you have this problem is to just randomly press keys on your keyboard and hope you can find the ones associated with the US layout key codes 1 - 5.
That's it for now, thank you for checking out In Exilium! And stay tuned! I have been working on my next game and I am about to reveal a little about it in the coming month :) Follow on Twitter @ConfluxGames if interested.
