Idle Together News

Fixed a bug where it was possible to purchase the Magic Movement constellation with 50 constellation points instead of 100.

This update follows the improvement of the game's sound design. To take full advantage of the new sounds, I had to update the settings system to allow more precise volume control (1 by 1 instead of 5 by 5), and also tweak the way the sound feels so it comes across as more linear to the ear.

As a result, the sounds may seem quieter than before, you’ll likely need to turn them up significantly.

In addition, the visuals of the sound bars have been redesigned to better match the pixel art style.

Finally, the in-game HUD visuals have been updated, all icons are now more stylized. Big thanks again to Stalosir for his work !

By the end of the month (hopefully), more visuals will be added, including the long-awaited cursors!

[p]This update was made with the help of a professional sound designer, Feathers. It’s an update that’s not fully complete yet, as some sounds are still missing and we need player feedback to improve the new FX.
This means that some of the old FX are still present, and the new ones will evolve over the coming weeks.[/p][p]I'm very happy to present this update to you, it’s the result of nearly two months of work, believe it or not![/p][p]New sounds include :[/p]

• [p]Mage tower construction[/p]
• [p]Mine construction[/p]
• [p]Sawmill construction[/p]
• [p]Mana harvesting[/p]
• [p]Plank harvesting[/p]
• [p]Cut stone harvesting[/p]
• [p]Tree sapling planting[/p]

[p]Additionally, most of the game's sounds have been redone. Some are still missing, but as mentioned earlier, we need your feedback to improve the sounds and fine-tune the artistic direction to avoid having to redo everything, which would take a huge amount of time.[/p][p]To share your feedback, feel free to use the Discord server and the channels dedicated to feedback.[/p]

This update is directly related to the overhaul of game assets to make them look better.

I took a full day to re-optimize the visuals, especially the villager animations, which account for 80% of the optimization work.

With this update, you should be able to have many more villagers on screen before you start losing FPS.

Enjoy the game !

[p]Today we're updating the chest visuals ![/p][p]And I really mean visuals, plural. From now on, depending on the tier unlocked in the constellation, the starting chest will match the constellation’s color, with unique animations tied to the resources you earn.🎉[/p][p][/p][h3]For example :[/h3]

• [p]Tier 1 Chest : Contains wood, stone, and food[/p]
• [p]Tier 2 Chest : Contains everything from Tier 1 + planks[/p]
• [p]Tier 3 Chest : + Cut stone[/p]
• [p]Tier 4 Chest : + Mana[/p]

[p][/p][p]The goal is to make the experience more immersive and enjoyable to play ![/p][p]I hope you'll like how it looks and the animations too.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]They were made by Stalosir from our Discord server. Huge thanks to him. ❤️[/p]
