Nanotale - Typing Chronicles News

Hi Fox Riders,

Today, we had the pleasure to read that Nanotale reached the first step of the Indie of the Year contest on IndieDB by being part of Top 100. We are now competing against 99 other fantastic indie games.

Winning that contest would be a really nice boost for our game, so please, help us by voting for Nanotale using this link. No need to sign in.

Thank you very much!

Hi Fox Riders,

We hope that you had a great weekend.

Last week, we worked on improving the early access based on your feedback.

Below you can see the battle as you know it. Players told us that the zone where enemies are spawning looked confusing as they didn't know if they could approach it.



We thought a bit about it and came up with the idea of monster eggs slowly appearing on the flour, giving you a visual timer of when that zone is dangerous or not.



And here the in-game version of it. What do you think? Better?





Improving the available content is nice, but we also needed to work on the next biome. Here are some screenshots showing you beautiful rocks ːepiwtfː because it all started with rocks.





Thank you very much for reading. Don't hesitate to leave your feedback and questions in comment.

Cheers,

Hi Fox Riders,

We now have a stable version of the early access which mean that we can go back in production instead of only focusing on fixing the existing content.

Of course there are still a lot of things to improve and add in the Ancestral Forest, so we won't completely stop to work on it but we'll just do it at the same time as we will work on the next biome. So, feel free to continue to report bugs and give us feedback about the early access.


Some of us are currently working on an update of the Ancestral Forest with visual and content improvements such as the implementation of the quest system, and the encyclopedia. We'll also work on feedback and sound.

Here's a improvement of the enemy spawner zone during battles.



Here's a very strange but also very friendly creature that you'll find in the next biome. We don't have a name for it, so don't hesitate to make suggestions.















As some of you have probably noticed, it's the time of the year when Steam asks you to vote for your favorite games. Nanotale being in early access, I don't expect a lot of votes but I was wondering what category you think could fit to Nanotale and what are the games you voted for? Share you gems with us.

Thank you for reading and for supporting the early access.

Cheers,

Hey Fox Riders,

Last week, we fixed a lot of remaining bugs. Especially some really blocking ones that forbade you to reach the end of the available content.

Here is today's patch changelog:

• Fixed some remaining wall colliders in the forest
  
• Fixed some collider issues while climbing the Tree of Life
• Fixed Queen that doesn't give you the teleport
  
• Fixed potential broken outcomes of the Queen battle
• Improved map visibility
  
• Added credits to main menu
  
• Added last game scene of the available early access content after climbing the tree. That scene is a work in progress.
  

Here are some bugs that we experienced while testing on our side.

The Mini Rosalind Bug

The Topless Clover Bug
Clover gets topless for a second after deactivated the shield. Note that this one is more a feature than a bug.





If you encountered issues with the Queen battle and the update doesn't make any change for you, there is a second fix that will be to replace your old save file with the one below. It will bring you just before the battle. But before taking the save file, please try the update without it first.

Link to the new save file: http://www.fishingcactus.com/files/nanotale/Save.sav

Where to put the new save file: %APPDATA%/../LocalLow/Fishing Cactus/Nanotale



Here's what we will work for the next big update:

• Fix non-European languages
  
• Improve enemy spawner
  
• Visual improvements on game play elements
  

Thank you very much for support and all your feedback and bug reports!
