Demo Patch #1



The first patch for the demo of Winter Survival Simulator with a series of bug fixes and improvements (0.9.3)

Quality of Life Fixes
  • Fuel slot added to cooking items in case you wanted to Drag & Drop instead of Right Clicking the fuel items.
  • UI fonts have been rescaled to make them a bit more readable on average screen setup.
  • Heat Slider added to Heat in Instinct Mode to make it clearer on what our heat level is at when instinct mode is enabled.
  • We added a slider for Camera Bob through Gameplay Options (Idle Animations etc.) in case it's causing motion sickness.
  • We added an option disabling of Mouse Rotation Lag through Gameplay Options.
  • We added an option to enable / disable Motion Blur through Gameplay Options.
  • We allow disabling of Backpack Animations through Gameplay Options to help with motion sickness.
  • We added an option to change mouse sensitivity and inversion of mouse on X/Y axis.
  • More keys added to keybindings options to allow further customization.
Gameplay
  • Canteen now visually shows on the slot background whether it's holding Geyser Water or Icy Water once filled.
  • Geyser Water now correctly warms you up slightly while hurting you for drinking it.
  • Instinct Mode had its visuals updated slightly and now slows down time while used by roughly 15%
  • Bear tracks reworked to feel a little less magical and a bit more, grounded.
  • We no longer allow dropping of 'important quest items' from the inventory! No more throwing of trap parts and canteens off the bridge.
  • We added more heat on 'Find the Heat Source' objective completion to prevent an edge case where your hands would stay frozen if you left the hot springs area too quickly.
  • Speeded up axe animations to make cutting down trees a bit more responsive.
  • Backpack can now be picked up even if your inventory is full without dropping the item.

UI
  • All sounds sliders should now be working correctly.
  • Visual added when trying to drop items.
Sounds
  • Body movement sounds will now stop when tutorial is on.
  • Few extra sound effects added and tweaked some of the repetitive sound effects to be less annoying. (Crows etc.)
Game Balance
  • You will no longer get hungry quite as quickly. (About 15% slower)
  • You will not longer get thirsty quite as quickly. (About 7% slower)
  • All food items now feel a bit more filling. (You no longer need to eat 8 rabbits to feel like you're not starving.)
AI
  • Minor adjustments to wolves to make them a bit 'smarter' for players who were avoiding wolves by jumping on the rocks.


Upcoming Changes
  • Checkpoint System / Number of Checkpoints will be increased, and options to load checkpoint from Main Menu will be allowed.
  • In some cases you can see items in Instinct Mode on a very large distance (Renders through Foliage at any distance).
  • Keybind rebinding to 'same' key in multiple categories is still not supported - occasionally leads to some funky things when rebinding keys.
  • Stats / Instinct Mode are not split yet on separate keybinding.
  • Instinct Mode doesn't drain energy.
  • If you do Shelter Repairs without having Instinct Mode enabled, the repairs don't show up until you toggle instinct mode.
  • Cold / Freezing doesn't quite affect you as strongly as we would like.
