Merry December folks, we hope you've been well!
Today we've got another small update for Letters to Arralla, with some more bugfixes (and teensy additions that didn't get quite into the game at launch)!
Here is a non-comprehensive list of bugfixes and adjustments included in this update. Bear in mind there are mild spoilers ahead for some in-game events and story beats!
Fixed directional controls when using the map (They were inverted compared to all other inspectable objects)
Some deliverables in boxes and larger packages can now be inspected from all angles
Adjusted some puzzle interactions to simplify and better align with visuals
Some minor puzzle bugfixes
Made the bed easier to sleep in (It's much more inviting from all angles now)
Reset the chessboard before a cutscene for maximum chaos
Adjustments to the fade in and out of letter transcripts for better flow (No more waiting an eternity)
Prevented the task list from appearing past the point of no return (Sounds ominous, really isn't)
Adjusted the cursor icons when dialogue options appear
Added missing success chimes for some puzzles
Minor title screen bugfixes
Made cancel buttons work on the fast travel menu
Adjusted position of various UI elements for interactable objects
The lighthouse beam now spins properly when in conversations
Stopped Engel floating above the ground ever so slightly
Gave Engel an idle animation as a consolation gift (He's thinking super hard about earthquakes)
Adjusted some of Engel's dialogue on days he's not expecting a delivery
Adjusted some of Sunny's dialogue slightly so she refers to the correct character
Added some minor dialogue for Bill before you receive a letter for him
Added some extra dialogue for Peabody to make some later events more clear
Added some SFX to dialogue for Sunny
Fixed certain wearables being visible in the camera view
Adjusted size of a certain board game related hat
Adjusted Peabody's idle animation slightly
Added the ability to bounce on top of some character's heads (It was very important)
Made Coralie slightly easier to speak with (Her children are very good at being the center of attention)
Added a few more spots to sit and lie down around Arralla
Minor additions to a certain cutscene with the lighthouse
Minor bugfixes to the options menu, particularly with dropdowns
Adjusted some character's locations and activities on Sunday
Fixes for some characters looping dialogue unintentionally
Improved fading effect on trees and plants when they are between the camera and the turnip
Minor VFX adjustments for the inventory and conversations
Fixed Bill's face disappearing in certain circumstances (We're not going for horror vibes, here!)
Not included within this patch, but we are currently testing a refactor of the achievement system; hopefully we'll have that out for y'all soon, but our sincere apologies to those still affected by achievements not popping.
That's all for now, but we hope you have a wonderful December and New Year!
