Guided Experience
The Guided Experience has been retooled so that all functionality is available from the start to better reflect the full experience.
The conversation step has been reworked to focus on recruitment to better align with its role in the game.
In addition, there's a new UI that reflects progress with the ability to skip to the Next Step or End the Guided Experience in-game!
Schnazzy!
Decorative Paths
We've added Decorative Paths to help give your Mortals proper paths between your Buildings.
Dress up those entryways...
Or leverage the cusomization options to make a zen Garden!
We've had early discussions about the roles Slopes, Floors, and Paths could play in movement speed but it's a sizeable chunk of work, so it's on the list of things we're considering for now.
New Grass!
We've updated the Dense Grass Visuals.
They also better reflect Density - nice work Matt!
Quality of Life
Camera
The Camera will now pan and rotate a little slower when zoomed in by default (tunable in the options).
As a bonus, height adjustments are now much less jarring. Embrace Verticality!
Dangerous Animals
Dangerous Animals now act as a pack. This simplifies the logistics of clearing them off your lands.
NOTE: This also makes them more... uh... Dangerous. Be careful out there!
Confirmation Barks
Mortals will now Vocalize when you order them to do something using their voice and pitch!
Imp Invasions
We improved the performance both before and during Imp Invasions.
We halved the quantity (but not quality) of the loot they generate to lessen the burden of cleanup afterwards and improve mid-game balance.
Injuries
Treatment Commands are not automatically issued for Injuries that need treatment.
Use Orders to assign your preferred Nurse or cancel the Command if you'd like to wait.
Patch Notes
Restart the game and steam to make sure you're up to date!
Experimental Branch
Minor Updates like this arrive on the Experimental Branch first.
If you have the stomach for brief bouts of instability and want to help us out - switch to (or stay in) the Experimental Beta on Steam and participate in discussions here or on discord.
Expect occasional issues - but know that we appreciate you helping us make the game better!
Localization Progress Report
Localization is well under way!
After much gnashing of teeth, the strings have all been harvested and are ready for translation.
We've chosen a partner to provide the initial translations!
We've chosen French, German, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Russian to start with.
We're planning a public Beta, but we're still a month or more out - hang in there.
