Hey everyone!
Update 13 is live, adding red torches and some improvements to things that were just not very ideal before, like the tutorial. As usual, here is a very quick overview of the new things added in this Update, with more details below:
- Added red dye, collectable from red flowers
- Added red torches, craftable with the red dye
- The tutorial is optional now when you start the game for the first time, you can decide to ignore it and directly start the game
- Added a "tutorial" tab in the briefcase where you can access all the tutorial text that's also available in the main menu.
- Made the recipes for stone pickaxe and stone axe always unlocked, you no longer need to first find the papers for those
- Added recipes you can find for all the colored torches
- Fixed number above the bucket when adding items from chest into bucket (was always 1 before)
- Added button to the main menu that directly invites you to the official discord server when pressed
- Fixed small bug with items dragged out of chest
Red Torches
Red Torches are significantly more red than those torches that are not red. That's why you want red torches!
With the red torches added, you can now choose between the default colored torch, red, green and blue! More colors will come in future updates, like purple. If you want to have a specific color, please tell me in the steam forums or the discord.
Tutorial
Yes, the tutorial was not ideal before. The game forced you to read through all the text before you could even start the game. Many people weren't overly happy with this, and they were complete right of course.
So now, the tutorial is no longer forced when you start the game for the first time, you can directly start a new game without ever having seen the tutorial.
Instead, the tutorial is now available in the inventory briefcase in a seperate tab, so if you wan't to know something about crafting, you open the tutorial tab in the game, open the "Crafting" tutorial page and see what you need to know. Way more convenient!
2 recipes always unlocked
The recipe for the stone axe and the stone pickaxe is always unlocked in the crafting recipe overview now. This means you no longer need to find those recipes to know how to craft these 2 most essential tools in the game.
Before this, it could happen that you are someone playing the game for the first time and trying to find the recipes for an axe or a pickaxe, but just finding recipes for torches, chest, compass or any of those things that you don't actually need when you just started playing the game. And then you might end up using the stick to gather wood and stone for a long time, which is a bit too tedious.
So that's significantly nicer now!
-----------------
That's all for today! Thanks for caring about the game and as usually, make sure to report all issues you see and give me as much feedback as possible in the official forums or the official discord server. If you don't like something about the game, tell me there and I'll try to improve it! I'm available to chat with anyone in discord.
