Hey guys,
The latest patch has just gone live. This update includes a host of fixes, performance boosts, graphical upgrades and much more. Unfortunately old save files will not be able to carry over onto this build.
For full patch notes check out the list below.
V0.09u1 Patch Notes-
SPACESHIP COMBAT-
As requested throughout last year, a form of Spaceship combat has been added to the core game. Spaceship combat can be initialized while flying through space. A battle will begin if you run into an enemy ship, or if an enemy ship runs into you. Enemy ships drop Materials, Items and more. Spaceship Weapons and Armors can also be found by destroying various enemy ships and bosses. Teleport terminals have also been added throughout various locations in the galaxy. Teleport terminals will enable you to change and equip your Spaceships armor and weaponry that you have collected throughout the galaxy.
ADVENTURE MODE (Hard Mode)-
A new mode is now available when starting a new game.
Adventure mode includes random starting locations and more.
You can find more information within the game.
Revamped Skill Progression-
In previous versions new magic skills would be mainly learnt as you level up. This has been changed in V0.09, and skills
can now be unlocked in almost any order by spending SP(Skill Points). SP can be earned by fighting, levelling up and collecting Magic Shards.
Certain skills can only be purchased once their lesser forms are bought first.
Magic Shards-
Magic Shards can now be found all over the galaxy. When found, a Magic Shard grants the player 200SP which can be used to purchase new Magic Skills.
New Weapons/Item Rarity-
Items are now colour coded and have different levels of rarity.
Over a dozen new weapons and armours have also been added.
Menu-
The main menu during gameplay has been updated and now shows many useful stats. The Quick-Equip Menu can still be accessed through the side bar icons, or the new menu itself. Items such as potions can also now be used directly from within the menu.
Morality Metre-
A metre now appears in your menu which tracks the players behaviour. Attacking most civilians and friendly NPC'S will affect your
morality in a negative way, while helping entities with quests and requests makes it positive.
Health Regen-
HP now automatically regenerates during gameplay at a limited rate.
New HP and MP HUD-
Visibility Range-
A visibility range has been added which changes based on the time of day.
Fullscreen Prompt-
A prompt has been added when launching the game which asks the user if they would prefer Fullscreen/Window.
Performace Boost-
The game has been further optimized and should run better then before on most systems.
Title Screen Upgrade-
Scrolling title screen has been updated.
Shifting Enemy Locations-
Enemies now spawn semi-randomly throughout most areas.
Item Transform-
Certain items such as bullets, once used, break down into lesser crafting components.
Diagonal Movement For Enemies-
Enemies no longer zig-zag to get towards the player and now move in a more fluid motion.
Right Click Cancel Fix-
Right Click can now be used to cancel out of menus and open the map while on foot.
Storage Boxes/Inventory Weight-
Storage boxes can be found across various parts of the galaxy which enable you to stash away excess goods. The inventory is also now limited in carrying capacity, and if exceeded in room,
will stop the player from sprinting unless they discard or sell the excess items.
Carrying capacity increases with each level.
New Item Indicator-
A small icon now appears whenever the player picks up a new item. This icon dissapears once the item is inspected.
Other various bug fixes and improvements.
Because of the amount of changes and additions to the game, it is possible that some bugs may occur. I will be monitoring this patch closely so
if anyone runs into any bugs, please post them in the discussion boards so they can be checked out.
Unfortunately, due to the inclusion of Spaceship Combat, the Orialis Galaxy was not included in this update but will still be coming sometime soon.
Please check out past announcements for details on the upcoming galaxy.
Thanks everyone!
