Here's what we've been working on:
Steam Cloud Save! ☁️
- This was requested by many people and it's our job to listen!
Steam cloud save is fully integrated and tested, works on Steam Deck too!
Windowed mode that works well! 🪟
- Requested by streamers, people with Ultra Wide monitors and other window mode lovers!
Zoom in and out! 🔎
- There's only a few levels currently, but it will be useful until we figure out how to do some finer zoom adjustments.
Text in Cutscenes does not auto scroll anymore! ⏳
- Once the typewriter effect is done, your input is required to continue the cutscene, this way all of the text will be easily readable and you won't miss a thing!
Fishing minigame toggle! 🎣
- Simply open up your settings and turn off the Fishing minigame! Simple as that!
You will still have to upgrade your fishing rod to get all of the fish though!
Dropped items are saved! 💾
- Anything dropped on the surface of Everholm will be saved. ( wild animal loot, rewards, anything really )
