Beta 10 Test - New Collectibles and Decor
I've uploaded a test build that includes the new collectibles and decor system to the test branch! Instructions to get the test build are towards the bottom of this announcement.
This build has a LOT of stuff in it, but I would like to primarily get feedback on the collectibles and decor system. The new system includes:
Scattered around the map you will be able find:
Supply Crates can contain leather, raw meat, raw veggies, wheat, cotton, handles, or coal.
Alchemy Logs can contain any of the alchemy ingredients. Similar to ore deposits, what you find depends on how far you have progressed.
The system starts out placing only a few of each but as time progresses in the game, you'll find these items become slightly more available. They aren't meant to be super common though!
The new Town Decor structures include:
If you place Apiaries near a Brewery, your townspeople will get a larger mood buff from beer.
To build any of the above structures, you can place the resources inside the Storehouse. All of the UI related to town resources have been updated to show the new resources.
Important Note - I highly recommend starting a new save if you want to try out the test build. It will work with existing characters, but if you get any of the new stuff, you won't be able to go back to the regular build.
As mentioned above, this build has a lot of other stuff in it, including the new level up animation, the better looking coins from dungeon chests, and a bunch of fixes. But for this update, I'm focusing on the new collectibles and decor. Once this build is ready for full release I'll include everything in the patch notes!
Would love to hear your feedback on the collectibles and the new decor!
If you'd like to try out the test build, you can get it by doing this...
1. In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
2. Click Preferences
3. In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
4. Enter the password to download this build - NewDecorTest - and click Check Code
5. You should get a message that the code is correct
6. Click the drop-down box and select BigUpdateTest
Steam should immediately start a new download with the test client. The new game should be called "HammerHelm [bigupdatetest]". Once the download is complete you can launch the game and you should see "Beta 10 (test)" in the title screen.
To get back to the Alpha client:
1. In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
2. Click Preferences
3. In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
4. Choose “None” from the drop down
5. Steam should then revert back to the Alpha client
Thank you again for all of the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing your feedback!
