Public beta for v0.98 started!
Hello there, cave dwellers!
New major version 0.98 is ready, there are few areas where it needs testing, so I've decided to release it in open beta for a couple of weeks, before proceeding with the full fledged release and announcement.
To access the beta, go to your Steam Library -> DinoSystem (right click) -> Properties -> Betas -> Choose 0.98.0pb1 (public beta 1).
Testing is needed especially for the new mouse controls: mouse buttons are now assignable to main actions like moving/attacking/aiming. I'd like to know which mouse control scheme you find more suitable to be the default one (for now it is Moving: LMB, Attacking: MMB, Aiming: RMB). Button 4 and 5 are also assignable, which would be even better since there are no hardcoded actions for them (like for LMB/MMB/RMB which are also used to drag objects, inspect, use items).
Also, I'd like to test the new drying mechanic, you'll find more info directly ingame or in the full changelog.
Lastly, there are likely bugs to squish, so keep an eye also for those! I'll constantly fix, tweak and improve this build during the public beta, based on your feedback.
Here's a brief summary of the additions:
- Mini-games for Fishing and Firemaking
- Buildable Drying Rack and drying mechanics
- Discovery-based crafting/building recipes
- Fur, Fur Cape, String, and reworked most recipes
- Dig up Didelphodon lairs
- Sleep Debt mechanics
- New mouse controls and mouseover icons
- New music tracks and music settings
- Several new settings options
- Interface improvements
- Numerous improvements and bug fixes
- Full changelog
