New update to Heaven's Vault is all things that are hard to spot, so here's what you (won't) see on playing:
The big one is the balance: towards the mid-to-late game on some runs, when the map starts to get very broad, we've found the game being a little reluctant to provide the key artefacts that open up new sites to visit. This update tweaks the balance to make key artefacts more frequent if you're looking for somewhere new to explore.
Tl;dr, if in doubt; get a drink with Timor; show your stuff to Tapi; or talk to Huang - we've made them more helpful in tight corners: assuming you can keep them on side, of course...
We've also added:
- more words of Ancient, and some more long phrases, particularly for those into their third / fourth runs
- lots and lots and lots of little story fixes, polish, and specifics. Thanks to everyone who emailed in!
Meanwhile, here's the Guardian naming Heaven's Vault as it's Game of the Month for April:
"...a game of quietly forceful consequence.... the way Heaven’s Vault builds its sense of meaning and magnitude will stay with you far longer than the latest apocalyptic zombie-popper."
