I just wanted to let everyone know that development is still going on! I know it's been a while since the game has gotten a big update, I've been working a lot of hours at my job due to Covid, but I've managed to reduce those hours pretty significantly now and we should be seeing a nice burst in development time.

The fall Zone will be a nice break from the action. It's going to be a pretty relaxing area, where you meet some new characters and rest. By this point you've fought some bosses, solved puzzles, and been drowned in game features to learn. Now its time to sit back, relax maybe try some fishing.

You will also get a chance to dive into some lore about your past. I believe a good game gives you hills and valleys in terms of action and pacing, and I'd like to treat this area as a valley. Calm music and story telling. Those are my objectives in terms of art and music direction, story telling and writing. You guys will have to tell me if i hit the mark.

Stay tuned!

Thanks everyone for all of your support and feedback over the course of early access

This is a small patch that does NOT add new content but addresses issues with existing content.

Please note that I goofed during the encryption and upload of this update and forgot to add the new version number to the title screen, so 1.81 is NOT reflected on launch.

It also lays the ground work for steam controller support, since I had to upload back end files in order to do in steam testing and implementation for steam controller support, so while it is not live for users, it is on the way. The Patch notes are as follows.

-A major issue was addressed, where it was not possible to enter a building in the swamp that starts a huge chain of events. This blocked off a lot of the swamp content that was supposed to become available. It's fixed now, so if you couldnt figure out what to do in the swamp to progress, this is probably why.

-experimenting with an auto save/auto load set up for retrying boss fights.

-fixed issue where food stopped counting down after using town crystal.

-fixed issue where you could get stuck by using the feathered egg instead of the mysterious egg due to incubation timer.

-fixed a bunch of pathing and collision issues on the crash site beach.

-fixed issue where Harbos disappears when you talk to him.

-fixed issue where plants were growing ontop of trees on the fight club map.

-fixed an issue where SOMETIMES the crashsite beach would show the wrong graphics for the upper layer.

-fixed an issue where build icons remained on bridge in beach cave AFTER you finished the construction of the bridge.

-fixed issue where new treasure chest in story puzzle room disappeared during interaction.

-fixed graphical issue with tree overlay in town farm.

-fixed issue where the wrong dialogue box was showing up behind the potion shop keepers dialogue.

-fixed issue where the lasers that trap the nature spirit, come back after solving the puzzle.

-fixed some overlay issues in the swamp (im sure there will be more).

-changed some "woa"s to "woah"s.

-added missing description to miracle flask item.

-added some action files to the backend for the purpose of implimenting steam controller support. (more on this soon.)

This patch features a complete rework of the swamp area and introduces 2 major plotlines and 1 flavor story that is context dependant on which spirit is in your party. You can expect new enemies including a pretty difficult boss encounter. As well as the introduction of a new fast travel item.

Some other small changes have been added.


-added autosave feature

-added treasure chests in various places

-fixed issue with exit/entrance to beach cave - both with the transfer event and the rocks that block it.

-replaced placeholder graphic for reward chest for water story puzzle

-introduced new fast travel item

-added multiple new enemy types

-did a big overhaul of what plants can spawn in the forest in order to streamline usefulness.

-added a graphical indicator to items that cannot be used in battle

-made it so low level potions heal for flat amounts instead of percentages, making them better early game and weaker late game.

You are all wonderful and thank you for reading
