Our first update!
We want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's participated in our Early Access so far. And especially those who have reported bugs in our Technical Support forums. This build focuses on fixing a lot of bugs and adding a few new features / tweaks to make the overall experience better.
New Features / Tweaks
- Temporary invincibility granted when the player touches lava.
- Disabled player lives until further balancing can be done.
- Added a "Reset Local Leaderboards" button in the options menu.
- Added a "Camera Momentum" slider in the options menu.
- Changed tutorial text for the Explorer Book to better explain how to open the Explorer Book.
- Balanced the Shovel so that coins can't be infinitely farmed in a single spot.
- Added a restart button to the pause menu for all levels (not just for challenge levels).
- Borderless window mode added (enter -popupwindow as a launch option in Steam).
Bug Fixes
- Resetting the level while in over the shoulder mode allowed for "flying."
- The Lavasaurus Rex fossil was not diggable / dissappeared in Mount Magma.
- Challenge levels did not reset to their original state when restarted.
- The Big Spender achievement was broken. Everyone who bought an item should now get the achievement after starting up the new build.
- Fixed various lightmap issues in Mount Magma.
- Fixed lighting issues with the player's mouth and the Girl's eyes.
- Falling rocks in Mount Magma did not have a shadow.
- Using the shovel while performing a side flip allowed the player to move around while in the dig animation.
- Standing on a floating island near the player boundary in the Sky caused a massive force to be applied the next time the Explorer's Sail was used.
- Falling off the Moon caused the game timer to reset and allowed for unrealistic completion times for that Explorer Medallion.
- The Telescope now works better with inverted control options.
- The Runaway Fox footprints in Cozy Canyon were not being cleaned up properly.
- The player can no longer move during the fade out when "Return To Sky" option is selected from the pause menu.
- Sometimes coins on the Moon were not collectible.
- The bird in Cozy Canyon now has the right texture.
- Disabled over the shoulder while looking through the Telescope.
Global Leaderboard Changes
- We've introduced a global leaderboard version system for our challenge levels.
- Since we fixed some big challenge level glitches in this build, there are new leaderboards. If you do not update the game to this build, you can still post times to the old leaderboards, but they will only be visible to people still on the old build.
- We don't plan on adding a new leaderboard version for every update--only when necessary and with as much advance warning as possible.
If you have any questions, please leave us a comment or make a post over in our forums. Happy exploring!
