0.2.53 - Welcome New Hunters
It's been amazing seeing the influx of new players from the Wanderbots video! Thank you for all the feedback and support, the game is very much still actively being updated and I look forward to continue pushing it to be the best it can be!
With that being said, it's been a while since the last update. A lot of QOL, mechanics changes, and hotfixes are ready to go, and they're finally in a state to be pushed live. No new major content yet (there's a good bit of that already made, but it's disabled currently due to needing some more work), but expect that soon!
[h3]NEW CONTENT:[/h3]
- 'Tracker' skill implemented
- New tools unlocked with Isle 2's other new recipes!
- 5th Hunter can join the crew
- Fun new dialogue effects (currently sparsely used)
[h3]NEW QOL:[/h3]
- Dynamic Camera implemented to the active quests display. Currently only used to make the camera follow your mouse
- You can finally bail from quests
- New Workshop upgrade after Drodden to help automate better tools or building materials
- Recipes in the crafting tab can be sorted into type
- Offline progress is displayed, and should lag less when catching up after tabbing out
[h3]CHANGES:[/h3]
- Hunters reorganize on their tab based on their Isle
- Library tab now visually shows the monster's initial locale
- Farm Plots have to be clicked to harvest once done
- Custom scrollbars! No more highlighting text! Feels less like a website now
- Shrunk Hunter HP Bars on Quest screen
- Village Tab now tries to keep top tabs visible when scrolling
- Increased moss cost of 'Mossy Knoll'
- Ships now animate into the distance
- Certain inventories are categorized (such as the dock's)
- Meera renamed to Minrah, as it always should have been
- When selecting a tab, you are scrolled to the top of the tab. This should help in locating the weapons tab the first time.
- Music is pre-loaded to avoid lag when switching songs
[h3]FIXES:[/h3]
- Game finally shows you it catching up if you lose focus, instead of freezing for a couple seconds
- Speech bubbles no longer scale with the character's size
- Health bars stay black after hunters faint
- NPCs will no longer pop into view if you scale the window really fast
- Auto-generated save file backups no longer have weird end encoding that stops them being immediately
loaded
- Isle 2 will no longer allow access to village construction early
- Dock page's fixed divs should no longer be hidden offscreen
