Hi Friends!
We’re pleased to announce that the Explorer Update is now live. Along with this update the game is now available on both Xbox One and PS4 which means you’ll be seeing lots of new birds around!!
Major New Additions for this Update
Full Crossplay with all platforms including the new PS4 and Xbox One releases!
A new area has been added to the game, it’s hidden within the islands so have fun finding it.
Added 4 new birds to find
Added Mac Support (we did the proper thing so it doesn’t show the scary dialogue box when you open it)
Along with the new area are 6 new songs to discover, listen to the new soundtrack outside of the game here.
Improvements
- Added small details to the existing islands
- New weather conditions have started occurring, on some days it will get really windy.
- New procedural spawning allows us to spawn way more small grass/shrubs on the surface of the island.
- Added more perchable areas to the existing map
- Resolution settings are now much more compressed (the extended list is available using a launch command)
- The camera is now less likely to freak out as much when diving at extreme angles
- Added smooth crossfading to some previously noticeable popping assets
- Added wing flap sound triggers to all bird flap animations
- Wind trails will be slightly smoother now
- Added different fish to be caught
Bug Fixes
- Audio settings should now properly apply when loading the game
- Hitting start too early when the game starts will no longer soft lock the game
- Bird trails no longer emit when rewinding after a crash
- You should no longer catch fish when rewinding after a crash
- Fixed many audio sources playing at zero volume and hogging audio channels fixing some sounds not playing when they should
- Controller should no longer vibrate if the keyboard is in use
- Fixed issue where shapeshifting runes would not reset properly unless the game was restarted
Experimental
-renderer launch option replaced with -newrenderer , this can improve performance for some users, but has much lower compatibility on older GPUs
I wanna give a special shoutout to all our Feather friends in discord who have helped us test the build early and ensure it’s as stable as possible. We think this is the best version of Feather yet! As always if you want to join the community please head over to our Discord.
Much Love,
