Oppidum News

[p]Welcome back![/p][p]Today we bring you a new patch, polishing some important aspects of the gameplay to make your experience a better one. Please, if you ever find any issue, get in touch, because we do actually commit to helping you and fix anything that arises. Your comments and feedback matter. [/p][p][/p][p]Have a look at the patch notes below:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• [p]Increased Soil sold per day by the Litoran Trader from 30 to 40[/p]
• [p]Polished timed crafting buildings UI with gamepad[/p]
• [p]Do not use auto-center camera with gamepad when placing a building[/p]
• [p]Improved auto-center camera with gamepad when riding a horse[/p]
• [p]Improved horse cornering you when you call it[/p]

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]

• [p]Some bonus were not taken into account at the time of deciding when to do fourth attack of the combo[/p]
• [p]When a building was in a working animation and you completed an upgrade, the new upgraded building started without the working animation until it completed one item[/p]
• [p]Using "build and continue" when placing decoration made the character do an action if the mapped button was the same[/p]
• [p]Some other minor bug fixes[/p]

[p][/p][p]At EP Games we take very seriously our commitment towards our community and we love hearing back from you, so let us know what you think. [/p][p][/p][p]In fact, even though we didn't have time to make it for this very same patch, we're working on a Pause feature that was asked for by a member of the community, and hope to have it ready soon (only for single-player), so everyone who needs to Pause the game with just one key (without going back to the Main Menu) can do so. Accessibility has always been core to our development and we've tried and will try to keep it that way.[/p][p][/p][p]Also, if you need help, don't hesitate to contact us: always available through [email protected] or in our Discord server for a more immediate communication.[/p][p][/p][p]The EP Games Team[/p]

[p]Hi Scout! Welcome back![/p][p]Have a look at the following patch notes and jump back into action. The world of Insule is expecting you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Now the camera will automatically rotate to face your movement when you move using a gamepad. There is a new option in Camera Settings to disable this behavior.[/p]
• [p]Improved the animation when your character looks at the Sun. This feature wasn't available on PS4 and Xbox One for performance reasons in the detection of the occlusion of the Sun, but we've optimized it and now it's available in all platforms.[/p]

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Minor bug fixes[/p]

[p]Summer is almost over, but at EP Games we've kept working hard to bring you new improvements and fixes to Oppidum, so your adventure is even more interesting![/p][p]We are happy to work hand in hand with our community, listening to the feedback you all provide, as well as helping when new issues arise. This is just our way to develop games: we are fellow gamers too and we want to do that for our communities.[/p][p]This is the biggest patch so far, and will probably change the way you've been playing, so have a look at the notes bellow so you don't miss anything.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• [p]Cosmetics: New facial hair, earrings, piercings, glasses and facial details (all these cosmetics can be changed in the Hair Stylist in Oppidum town later in the game)[/p]
• [p]New totems: Now you will be able to activate some Totems around the world that will allow you to respawn on them instead of the initial beach when you are defeated. [/p]
  • [p]Also, the Home Traveler's Scroll and the Home Portal Scroll have been replaced for the new Totem Traveler's Scroll and Totem Portal Scroll, that will allow you to choose these same Totems, including your Camp if you build a Totem there[/p]
• [p]Now the last tier of armor and weapons will change its color to reflect your player's favorite color![/p]

[p][/p][p]As always, happy to read your feedback in the comments or in our Community Discord Server![/p][p][/p][p]See you in Insule![/p][p]The EP Games Team[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We're excited to share that we are working on some new features for Oppidum, and we want YOU to be part of shaping it. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We've always mentioned we released a complete game, with a finished story, and we are not enlarging it. However, we've always wanted to keep adding little things here and there that would make your experience a better one. For example, we added Sleeping bags, the option to choose Unlimited usage of Teleport Scrolls, a new, more accessible, fishing minigame, plus other fixes and improvements.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, we are working on several exciting things, but we'd like you to know about a couple of them in specific:[/p]

• [p]Respawn points: we'll be adding something you'll be able to craft to respawn in your own camp, and there'll be more of those around the island, in certain specific pre-selected points, where you'll be able to respawn once you've discovered them. (The initial idea of respawning in the base with a 'totem' was proposed by Flayre in the Community Forum, and we really appreciate feedback like this, so we took it to heart and designed this; now we need to implement it!)[/p]
• [p]Facial customization in Character Creation: after careful thought, we've heard your feedback and we're starting to see what kinds of facial customizations we could add to your teenage scout characters. We're considering little short beards, facial "war paint", glasses and other facial paint.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Here's where you come in: We're opening up the floor for community input on this specific feature of Facial Customization. What would you like to have for your character? [/p][p][/p][p]Your feedback has always been valuable to us, and this is a perfect opportunity to directly influence the game's development. We'll be reading every single comment and taking your suggestions seriously.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for being such an amazing community. Let's make Oppidum even better together! 🎮[/p]

[p]How is summer treating you, Scouts? ːscoutcompassː[/p][p][/p][p]At EP Games, we continue our job of supporting Oppidum with fixes and improvements to bring you the best possible experience.[/p][p][/p][p]The community on our Official Discord has kept growing and we are now more than 1000 members!
If you haven't joined us yet, we are waiting for you![/p][p][/p][p]Even though we are quite a small tiny team, we are always in touch with the community, listening to your feedback and reports (if you've got any issue we are not aware of, please let us know, we want to help), and so we bring you today the last Patch Notes:

[/p][h3]Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Tasks achievement will progress for everyone in the party when one task is completed, instead of progressing only for the player who completes it [/p]
• [p]Fishing difficulty has been linked to the Health Behavior setting, so if Health Behavior is “No Damage Taken” or “Lots of HP Regen.”, it will be much easier; if it’s “Some HP regen.” (default), it will be a little bit easier; and the previous (original) difficulty will be linked to “No HP regen.”[/p]
• [p]Arcshine will not have a rain bonus to appear and the previous rain bonus will be applied always instead [/p]

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• [p] Fixed ghost item in the Bank with certain swaps (thx @HaycheGee)[/p]
• [p] Fixed horses able to be called during a Boss battle (thx @DAS_leo) [/p]

[p][/p][p]ːtamaiː Let us know what you think about this patch! We're eager to read your feedback ːtamaiː[/p][p][/p][p]See you in Insule! The EP Games Team[/p]
