Quality of Life Update!
It’s time to release all the Quality of Life upgrades we have added to TOEM!
Just a reminder that this is part 1/2 of our big update. 👀
The first time playing after downloading the patch, all your photos will be updated with our new compression and it can take a moment to process up to 128 photos! ♻️
Frames & Filters 🖼️
You now have plenty of frames and filter to play around with when taking photos!
Just visit the Photo Guild in Stanhamn and talk to the new member for your free upgrade!
We’re super excited to see what kind of crazy photos you can take! 📸
Re-stamping ⭐
Finishing a quest and getting a stamp sure feels great, and now you can re-stamp your card as many times as you want! Say goodbye to unsymmetrical stamp placements!
In the community card there is now a new button in the top left, pressing it will lift your stamps of the card and allows you to place them again.
Liking/Favoriting Pictures 💖
Make your favorite picture stand out even more with the new and lovely shiny foil effect added to pictures you like!
Select your pictures in the album, press the like button and watch that shine! 💖
Photo Quest Information 💬
Trying to remember what kind of photo a NPC wanted can sometimes be hard and that’s why this one is such a welcomed addition!
A box with the relevant quest information can be opened & closed when asked to hand in a photo quest. No more need to exit the dialogue and open the community card just to refresh your memory. All compact and nice now!
Improved Compendium Detection 🐌
Taking a photo of certain compendium critters was sometimes a bit too hard, getting the perfect angle or framing is now easier!
In the old method, the camera only detected a compendium when the center of the screen was inside the indicator box. But now it checks if the circle is touching any part of the indicator box!
Keyboard support ⌨️
There are many ways to play TOEM... and now there’s even more! Moving with WASD works the same as any controller and is a very natural addition to playing with a mouse.
Unfortunately, because of our UI system, only certain menus have full support for keyboard. So you will still have to use the mouse for some things! 🙇
New languages 📖
Feeling comfortable when playing TOEM is important to us and we hope that more people will feel at home playing in their native languages. With that said, we have added these additional languages:
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Korean
- Traditional Chinese
- Swedish
Save File Size Improvements 💾
Saving a photo takes up quite a lot of memory and was a main reason why we had a limit to the amount of photos you could take. But with this updated comes something that is super cool! We managed to reduce the file sizes by over a whooping 🥁 1000% This is not a joke!
As noted at the top, when starting the first time all your existing photos will be updated and it might take a moment to process up to 128 photos! ♻️
Miscellaneous additions
Doubled Album Capacity
With the changes to the save size we have now doubled the amount of photos you can take to 256 photos!
Steam Cloud Save
Fitting right in with the smaller save size is the Steam cloud save working its ✨magic✨! Keeping your save synced across devices!
Gamepad UI Icons
The game now detects which controller you’re using and will change the UI buttons to the correct one. So if you’re playing with a PlayStation controller the UI will have PlayStation buttons!
Gyro
If you have a PS5 controller you can now enjoy the new gyro feature when using the camera!
Looking around has never felt more natural! In our biased humble opinion, it feels awesome!
Additional Options
Along with the new languages you can also find several new settings to tweak your experience, as well as more details about certain options.
- Auto save delay
- Music trigger delay
- Confined mouse
- Camera sensitivity
etc.
Bug fixes 🐛
We’ve also been working hard on fixing bugs, like, at least 4.
Just take our word for it 😎
Major optimizations when using the camera
If you’re playing on a low-end device or a laptop, this update will be very welcomed!! 🙂
We sincerely hope you enjoy this update and all its changes.
We’re eagerly awaiting your response on social media, the forums, or simply on Discord!
XOXO,
