Happy Friday, Friends!
What's better than getting a wisdom tooth pulled after a vacation? Probably a ton of things. The first week back was slow going because of this, but now I've got some updates!
Michael and I have been tackling some bugs and getting some good quality of life issues taken care of. We will have a small update very soon with these changes.
First off, a much requested feature, being able to quickly sort items into chests based off of what is already in the chest. One simple button to sort all your loot into your already organized chests.
Next, Michael added a bit more clarity for splitting stacks (as you can see in the above picture). Even though this feature has been in the game since launch, a lot of people didn't realize you could split stacks (we even have a tutorial tip for it, but it still gets missed). With that, fixes to how the stacks actually split were much needed. Before anything you split would end up at the bottom of the list. Now they'll show up right next to the item you are splitting. There's also just some polish and easier understanding that got added.
Now that you can no longer store weapons in the collections and some clothing items don't want to go into collections, we've decided to go back to our original idea of having a wardrobe. It'll work very similar to collections, but in a much better fashion (see what I did there?). The collections tab in your journal will become more of a discoverable tab to show you what you are still missing. Exactly how the furniture, fish, and food items are now. The wardrobe will be furniture items, mirrors, and similar items where you would interact with them and be able to change your outfit, mask, and hat. So instead of carrying 3 different outfits with you, you'll be able to carry one hand mirror to interact with to change your style on the go.
Items added to your wardrobe will not be able to be removed. You'll simply equip them through your mirror. This also allows you to see what the outfit looks like on you before decided to wear it. Now that the outfits, masks, and hats will all be equipped through a mirror, we've been looking at what to do with those slots in your inventory.
We have many thoughts and ideas and our discord has already been discussing this, but what are your thoughts on what to do with those slots that have been removed?
Thanks for all of your support!
