Hey climbers,
We want to give you a quick update on what we’ve been working on over the past two months for Patch 1.4, coming soon in April.
Our main focus will be on full Xbox controller support, including Steam Deck verification and improved settings with better accessibility options for you all. Remapping won't be available in Patch 1.4, but we will be working on this for a future patch this year.
There are some parts of the game where we're looking to add more narrative beats to some of the puzzle spaces, so everything feels more connected to Aurora and the world, and we expand on the world's lore.
We know the Pisces puzzle isn’t the best experience right now. And let's be honest, it's a bit boring and repetitive. So we’re reworking it with a stronger focus on the star sign’s lore and blending it with Aphrodite. The area will be redone in pinks and gold, and a better structure for the puzzle. We’ll share more on this soon with some progress photos within our Discord channel.
For the rest of the year, we'll continue to tune puzzles and expand the lore, both in and out of the game, with short stories and comics coming VERY soon. Keep your eyes peeled for a new lore hub on the way, which dives deeper into Aurora’s story, the history of the star sign puzzles, and the mountain itself.
Keep an eye out in April! Nareice
