Wayward News

[p]Only a few days remain until the big day, but who cares about that? We have an early update gift for you instead! In this update, we focused on improving lots of areas of the game and smoothing out some Curse mechanics. Oh ya, and tons of bug fixes, of course.
[/p][p]Bonus Tip: If you are feeling like you want a bit more challenge (and reward) in the game, try exploring! The farther out from spawn, the harder creatures that will appear. If you travel to other islands using a boat/raft, creatures will progressively get harder and harder the farther away you are from your starting island. Need even more control? Try mastering the art of invoking all those runes you have been stockpiling![/p][p] [/p][p]Bonus Promo: Wayward is currently -30% off as part of the Steam Winter Sale! Share the gift of getting destroyed by a Skeleton with all your loved ones this holiday season!

Bonus Promo: Rumors are that our wonderful composer, Austin Dhillon may be working on a third soundtrack for Wayward. Both soundtracks are available on Steam and are currently -10% off:

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Bonus Tip: What's cordage? Cordage is a group of items in Wayward that are used to make things like string, ropes, and more.

[p]Over the last year, our so-called “minor” updates have been anything but small, so we thought we might try something a bit different this time around; instead, focusing on a special seasonal theme in the form of a major release. just in time for the big spooky day! Speaking of spookiness, have a peek at our teaser for this special update:
[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
Some stand-out features this time around include:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Trick or Treat Curse Mechanic: You are cursed! While awake at night, there’s a chance for random events to occur. The higher your curse level, the more frequent and potentially dangerous these events become. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Added Jack-o’-Lanterns: A new spooky, curse-warding light source. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Tree Update: Trees now include a new “Seeding” growth stage, and the “Bare” status is part of the tree’s life cycle, which now cycles back from “Bare” to “Budding”. Leaves from most trees now decay into “dried leaves”, which can appear under trees when reaching their “Bare” stage.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Temperature Overhaul: Added a temperature indicator that appears only when it’s cold enough to freeze or hot enough to overheat. The temperature and insulation system has been overhauled to go along with this. Values are simply added together instead of being weighted per piece of equipment.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Sticky Situation: Spiders can now spin cobwebs. Moving through them will cause you to lose a turn. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Recipes: Two new baking recipes have been added for use with a new set of pans. There are a few other new goodies as well. [/p][p][/p][p]Check out the full changelog below: [/p][p][/p][h2]New [/h2]

• [p]You are cursed! At night, when awake, there is a chance of a random event occurring. The higher your curse level, the more random events, and the more danger you face...[/p]

[p] [/p][h2]Balance[/h2]

• [p]The Fanaticism magical property has been significantly buffed, now working on the Invoke effect for an additional deity, reducing the cooldown between Invokes, and even reducing the chance that runes are consumed at all.[/p]
• [p]Random events now no longer happen three times per turn globally across the map, but instead happen twice: once near the player, and once outside the player's area.[/p]

TARS
[/p]

[p]
Debug Tools
[/p]

• [p]Added support for the new Curse system.[/p]

[p]Testing is now underway for our next major update. You know what that means! It means taking a stroll over to the "Betas" section in Steam under Wayward and switching it over to the "Development Branch" and helping us test out all the new treats. There might be a few tricks as well if you catch my drift.[/p][p][/p][h2]Here Be Dragons Drakes[/h2][p] As always, we would encourage you to back up your saves before trying this development branch of the game. By default, you can find your backups and save folders in the main Wayward directory. You can also export saves and global save data in-game if needed. More information on how to change branches here: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Report any issues you spot![/p][p][/p][p]

[p]Hey all,

Tonight, we have a patch ready that fixes that pesky invoking bug among lots of other small fixes and improvements. As per normal, there are also a few new things thrown in for good measure. More to come soon!

Have fun!

Bonus Tip: Looking to unlock lots of recipes at the same time? Store your items in chests and position yourself between 7 of them, all surrounding you with lots of different items. New as of this patch, you can now use ALL adjacent chests, including the corners.
