Our main focus this week was on improving the readability of the UI, mostly by looking at color, contrast, and the way fonts are rendered. On the gameplay side, we made a change to way torches function: one torch is now consumed when time passes after you lit one.
On top of that, we’ve managed to address most bugs that were reported to our discord.
Gameplay Changes
- Tweaking the UI for contrast and readability.
- Pushes the generation points of lone, large trees towards the northern edges of the ‘room’ so that they don’t obscure the level as much.
- Torches are consumed when you use them: if you lit at least one, a torch is automatically removed from your inventory when time passes.
- Strips of cloth and torches are more frequently encountered as trading items.
- Making more clear how encumbrance for an individual item is calculated.
Bug Fixes
- Magentol generators deal with stacks correctly.
- Adds missing inspector texts for stasis fields and magentol generators.
- Strong winds no longer prevent you from using a vantage point. Fog, rain and snow will prevent this, however.
- When the Unformed Labyrinth is outside visual range from the spire where you can detect it, you spot it nonetheless.
- When you split a stack of food when trading or interacting with containers, regional effects are ignored.
- When defeating a boss the correct encounter is informed of this feat.
- When trading away an item that was used as a preset, the preset is cleared correctly.
- You offer water bugs to dandelions one at a time.
- Raaf is more mindful where they summon helpful items such as a rope or a lock pick.
- Torches stack once more.
- When you pick up a bulky, stacking item when you are almost encumbered, you are not encumbered incorrectly.
