Banished Stone News

Todays patch includes a number of improvements to the way sounds work in game. In particular regard to NPCs and interacting with NPCs.

A number of the NPCS were previously scripted with a generic series of sound effects which gets repetitive. Work is ongoing to update these to be a little more enjoyable.

A number of monsters have also had new sound effects added as all too often I simply went with "Bear" attack noises .... lazy but this is why the game is currently going through early access to iron out these last few kinks.

Speaking of kinks, a glitch which caused male players to use the female voice has been fixed.

Please note this is simply Part 1 of a series of patches to correct the sound effects.

v0.73 has now been released with the following additions, bug fixes and changes.

• Fixed a typo on the Bestiary screen.
  
• Your combat pet now shows a name badge and a heart icon to indicate health.
