Today, August 30th 2023, A new update was released that significantly changes the world and how you explore it.
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Enemy pathfinding is more reliable.
- Enemy spawning is less random (AKA a room won't be empty or full once in a while).
- Added footstep sounds based on what you are walking on.
- Majorly overhauled how maps are designed.
- Battle arenas change a lot more from room to room.
- The tutorial is a lot shorter.
- The camera can now be controlled by the player by holding right-click.
- Shadows are a lot more consistent.
- Falling off the map now teleports you back to the door you entered from instead of waking you up.
- Made sprinting about 75% faster and it lasts longer to compensate for bigger zones.
- Streamlined the waking up/going to bed cycle to be less confusing.
- Fixed a bug where breeding a new monster wouldn't add it to your bestiary.
- Ground textures look a LOT better and have normal maps (especially in Rocky Road)
- Added the feedback button to the crash screen so you can send us error reports easier.
NOTES:
- If you preferred the game as it was you can go in Steam's Beta feature and select "Legacy" as your branch. Right now, save files should be compatible with both versions of the game but this might change as the newer versions of the game keep changing. Please backup your saves when you switch between the two versions.
- All your teddy bears will reset as the system to unlock more team slots has changed (Doesn't apply to the legacy branch).
- If you play the new game with a team of more than 1 monster, you will be soft-locked upon opening Team. To prevent this, you can simply open the PC first and adjust your team to match your new team size limit.
- Not all monsters that are in the legacy branch are available in the new version. New zones and monsters (as well as improved old ones) will be added periodically.
THE FUTURE:
The goal is to add 1 zone a month but the next month will be used to improve Rocky Road. When a zone comes out, it should be complete and contain at lest 3 unique monsters. Old monsters will return periodically with new art, movesets and stats. maybe new evolutions.
