Patch released for Beetle quest, give it a try again!

Several bugfixes have been released for "The Curious Triad" Creature Quest (featuring Beetles, Ants and the Mealybug).

Time of day / Nightfall fix

* Night-time no longer occurs within the first five minutes of gameplay (this was a bug)
* Night-time Chemo vision is now vastly improved, so when night-time does occur you can rely on chemo vision to get around

Now dump Mealybugs in water!

You can now dump a Mealybug into the lake and it still counts as a successful strike. Previously you'd reach a stalemate if any of the Mealybugs fell into the water (this can easily happen when an ant bites you while you're grappling with the Mealybug)

Other improvements

* Beetle camera distance increased to make it easier to see. You can always use the mouse-wheel to zoom in/out too.
* Beetle flight speed now easier to control; deceleration boosted (press S/back). You can also press Space to hover in mid-air!
* The beetle no longer falls off while grappling ants
* Stamina of the ants is now shown when they're clinging onto you, so you can plan around tiring them out.
* Audio effects improvements.
* Added option to disable mouse for turning creatures upon user request.

If any issues are hampering your enjoyment of the Ladybird quest please report it! Your feedback is a vital tool to improving the product; if you find something off, just report it so it can be fixed!
