Everholm News

[h2] Here's what we've been working on: [/h2]

[h5] Steam Cloud Save! ☁️ [/h5]

This was requested by many people and it's our job to listen!
Steam cloud save is fully integrated and tested, works on Steam Deck too!

[h5]Windowed mode that works well! 🪟[/h5]

Requested by streamers, people with Ultra Wide monitors and other window mode lovers!

[h5] Zoom in and out! 🔎 [/h5]

There's only a few levels currently, but it will be useful until we figure out how to do some finer zoom adjustments.

[h5]Text in Cutscenes does not auto scroll anymore! ⏳ [/h5]

Once the typewriter effect is done, your input is required to continue the cutscene, this way all of the text will be easily readable and you won't miss a thing!

[h5]Fishing minigame toggle! 🎣 [/h5]

Simply open up your settings and turn off the Fishing minigame! Simple as that!
You will still have to upgrade your fishing rod to get all of the fish though!

[h5]Dropped items are saved! 💾 [/h5]

Anything dropped on the surface of Everholm will be saved. ( wild animal loot, rewards, anything really )
