I'll check it out tomorrow and will create also a new topic on forums where I will update on what I'm currently working on, so there are no duplicate bug reports.

Cheers,

Hey blacksmiths,

so, just wanted to share with you some exciting update that I was able to do. Basically, the menus are done, just need to perform some tests.

Next step that was annoying me for longer time was the glitching water in Wanborne, so rolled up my sleeves and implemented new shader that looks very awesome, check it out!

Implemented some different sunset and sunrise for Mirstone and I love the new look!

Also, for Wanborne, no more glitching water and much better visual display!


Apart from that, I'm fixing bugs that I've found, so wrapping it up and patch will be coming out tomorrow.
If you find something odd or weird, please report it, so we get as much bugs as we can fixed!

Thanks and enjoy your weekend!

Greetings crafters,

just wanted to inform you about the upcoming changes that will be implemented in the next patch!
Since there's not that many bug reports anymore (thank god :D ) I have some time to move forward and currently latest suggestions from the community were about the Sales Menu and Crafting Menu.

1. Sales Menu - filters



Pretty self explanatory, brings a lot more overview in the Sales Menu, so I'm definitely happy for it.

2. Crafting Menu - overhaul



Thanks to @tamaskan on Discord, I was given his sketch of how the Crafting Menu could look better and more effective. Picture on the left (red) is the old - current version and the right part (green) is the one that I'd look like in next patch.

Most of the stuff will be done that way, only thing that probably won't be possible to implement is that 'search bar' thing, but I'll do my best!

It should take a day or two to finalize it and polish these changes, so stay tuned and share some love!

Regards,

VM Machal

Hello blacksmiths,

after a lot of feedback checks, bug fixes, re-balancing, re-shaping, I bring you new patch, that in my opinion works well and I'm very happy to present this to you!
I've double checked everything, but, since I'm just a human, let me know what bugs you'll find!

Restarting the game is recommended! If you have a save after the Prologue part, you should be fine, but if you haven't finished it yet, better start over, it's definitely worth it!

Patch notes 0.8.8

Changes:

- *NEW* Villagers - added new events where every day some villagers can ask for money or materials barter (let's start slow with this feature, I don't want to screw something up, let me know how it feels, I personaly like this little addition!)
- *Prologue re-designed* - bulletin board opens up early on
- limited camera rotation ~60° using Z / C buttons or RMB
- autosaves won't happen during quest pop-ups
- tutorial lady HUD was resized and repositioned to not overlap important parts of UI
- Runes, Gems, Books, Potions and Scrolls will no longer be counted into inventory space
- quick time events in battle now have a bit longer duration

*Left torch on the wall in Main Menu screen is for 2 players who somehow got their Main Menu UI removed, clicking on it will show Flag menu and hide Changelog. This function will remain there temporarily. Hope it'll help!*

Bug fixes:

- 'Earn 100 gold' achievement will no longer mark a dot for Build menu indicating something is new there
- Crafting Techniques of all blacksmiths will be visible after unlocking this feature
- fixed a bug that caused common items to go on sale loop when loaded from a particular save situation
- 'Mithril Ingot' and 'Rare chem compound' will now be able to be cancelled from the production bar
- adamantium mine expenses will be cleared on payday
- recalibrated the Tavern opening hours to reflect them more precisely
- fixed wrong Battle stance stamina reduction
- summoned skeletons from Drezhul will now be removed after Haunted Crypt 2 and Spider Cave 2 battles
- turning 'skip night' off will no longer cause auto skip again
- fixed a bug where after defeating Bandit group 2, Terrick might not be able to explore the map until reload
- Black diamond recipe will be now properly crafted
- fixed a bug that caused World map to be accessible during 'reward chest' event
- fixed a situation where reloading game wouldn't enable back accessing World map
- moving to Wanborne will no longer restore cached data from previous save
- fixed a potential bug that could stop loading the autosave right when it was saved before the quest pop-up
- magical gems/runes will be now visible in Sales Menu

So now I'll go back to finishing *Villagers* feature. What will be added in the upcoming patches:

3rd Option - Person comes to the shop with some specific item craft request - e.g. Item needs to be at least 80% above quality, or some technique has to be used on it, in later stages of game
4th Option - Time oriented orders - Item has to be crafted within X days with Y amount of stuff.

After these 4 options are well implemented, I can multiply their quantity, if someone will still really feel, that it's empty. :)

As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated, so bigh thanks, to you all!

Hello dear fans and players,

just want to inform you that I'm in the middle of the 'Villagers' feature, but I'll take one more day before the first part of this gets released as I want to polish it out more and fix some new bugs that occured.
This day was very productive but also exhausting ofc.

And additional part of 'Villagers' feature included in the patch will be:

2. Barter

As it's pretty self explanatory, I don't have to probably add any more comments. This part took me longer than I expected, simply because of the quantity of options that you can actually barter in this game. It is still a young feature and will take weeks/months to get fully enhanced.

You can trade materials for gold and also for other materials. Value of the trade will vary on type of resource and quantity.

I want the player to see what is being offered before he clicks on it and gets options to 'Accept' / 'Decline' as it's more convenient.

This patch will also bring you 60° rotation possibility for camera. @Fluffy - thanks to you buddy!

In Wanborne, it's around 80° as that location allows it more. Why limited? Because the front and right side walls culling is working in optimized way and if you'd be able to rotate it 360°, it would start to be more demanding as culling of the walls would have to be calculated per frame, per rotation.

So, tomorrow will polish 1. Ursury and 2. Barter and together with some newly reported bugs and can release it for you guys!

Thanks for all the support!

Regards,

VM Machal
