The Falconeer News

Hello Falconeers!

The first patch for The Falconeer is now available to download.

Based on the feedback given in the first 48 hours there's been some changes to how mouse performance works in game, some splinter economy balancing, and general bug fixes to ensure a much smoother trip through The Great Ursee!

Patch notes are as follows :

[h2]Control Updates [/h2]

• Controller changes can now be cancelled by exiting through esc or back button
  
• Mouse sensitivity slider in settings
  
• Mouse smoothing added
  

[h2]Economy changes[/h2]

• Cash from falcons is returned on chapter change
  
• 50% of cash from mutagens is returned on chapter change
  

[h2]Bug Fixes [/h2]

• C4M4 and C4M8 now respawn enemy ships if you retry the mission after having destroyed one or both ships
  
• Worldmap shows the correct 12 fortresses
  
• Mission delivery items such as the key or the packages, when they are thrown somewhere where they can end up beneath the world such as the maw, they respawn at a last known good location.
  

[h2]UI Updates [/h2]

• Skippers reward text is now at the bottom and doesn't overlap with mission debrief
  
• Bird portrait now doesn't clip back and forth between mutated and not in bird seller screen
  
• The word keyboard should no longer appear ahead of a key binding, so it now says press R to land. Fix for localised text
  

[h2]Gameplay changes[/h2]

• Maw stealth space is a bit roomier
  
• Game saves always on landing, (not just on finishing a mission), so discovery progress is kept
  
• Badge of seeker added to Oberons Reach store

Less than 24 hours to go! PREPARE TO ASCEND!

Control your Warbird with lethal accuracy this November 10th by hooking up a flightstick and ruling the skies!

Dodge, dip, dive, duck and destroy your opponents as you master the art of handling a fearsome warbird with your very own hands!

Whilst most people associate flightsticks with starfighters or aircraft, you'd be surprised at just how agile a falcon can be with direct control.

Don't believe us? Check out this video we put together with ThrustMaster to show just how awesome it is!

On launch flightstick support will be solely on PC, with Xbox support being looked at further down the line!

Add the the game to your wishlist today to be alerted as soon as it's time to take to the skies!

In what has felt like the blink of an eye - The Falconeer beta is now over

We hope you enjoyed your time in the Ursee - and would like to once again thank you for your eagle eyed dedication to sniffing out bugs and providing some incredible feedback - you only need look at the list of updates Tomas put out over the past 5 days in the Discord, or in the forums here to see how crucial your input has been, and we appreciate it so very much.

We'll be closing down the Discord beta channels to tidy things up in a couple of days once we've been sure we've caught everything and request that if you have any further feedback or bugs to mention, that you submit them via this Google Form :

The Falconeer Feedback and Bug Report

Everyone that submits their feedback in this manner will be able to submit their name for inclusion in the PC version credits as a special thanks as our way of saying thank you for your support.

It's been a very busy week for everyone! And there is much left to do!

We'll be live on the Steam page tomorrow for the last day of the Steam festival to share a little more Ursee action - Tomas will be knee deep in going over your feedback - and in The Falconeer Discord, the story of the events that led to the formation of the Ursee as we know it will begin to unfold very soon - even outside of the game your actions are going to have an impact on how the history of the land is told.

Continue to share your creations from the beta on with @wiredp on Twitter with #BigAssBird to potentially win a copy of The Falconeer on launch!

Don't forget to add the game to your Steam wishlists by visiting the Game page right here :
