Today we uploaded a big patch. It fixed some pretty large bugs and made some significant changes. Unfortunately it also left a couple of things half done and we're going to fix those as soon as possible. Here are the details:
- Ever since day 1, there has been a problem with the compiled materials on the landscapes. The game would be unable to find the compiled materials and would recompile them every time the game loaded a new landscape material. That is a big part of why loading the game and teleporting to new world map levels took so long. We have fixed this issue, and now the game should load and change levels much, much faster.
- Added epilogue. This is still under construction, with more changes coming, but we now have an epilogue after the final battle. The epilogue shows locations from throughout the game, which meant loading several landscapes. Due to the problem mentioned above, the epilogue was taking an extremely long time to load, and we finally had to address the issue head-on.
- The above change also required us to change the look of the landscapes. This means that they no longer match the mountains on the world map, which are made from static meshes instead of landscapes. We are going to continue working on the materials on both the landscapes and the mountain meshes to give all of them a consistent look.
- Fixed cutscene upon entering Weeping God's tomb that had been inadvertently removed.
- Added music change to battle at the wall in front of the Empire's Graveyard
- Changed size of ogre and demon lord attack particle effects, which had been slightly too large and were getting cut off at the bottom where they clipped into the ground.
- Localization updates
This patch does introduce a few things that we will need to fix. But it fixed some other, bigger issues that we wanted to resolve right away. Thanks for your patience while we work it all out.
