Here I am with another patch :) This one mainly focuses on the issues folks were having with the mushroom sample questline. It was acting up strangely where some of you weren’t able to deliver your last samples. To help that I’ve introduced a ✨new thing✨;
🍄 The Mushroom Board 🍄
This new sign can be found right next to Toph and will be where you can easily see all the various samples and their hints. You can also go to the board to deliver your samples (including those with save files where you previously couldn’t!).
Samples you can deliver will show up as orange with three exclamation points and ones you haven’t found yet are dark brown with a question mark! To change into the various hats you can still go to the hat box.
The mushroom board is a much more clear and reliable way of handling the mushroom samples so I hope you enjoy it!
🎈 The after-party feature 🎈
I see a lot of folks are eager to keep playing after they’ve reached the end of the game and complete some of their final deliveries. Well now you can!
From now on,when you reload a save that you left in the party (or after the credits), it’ll put the game back to how it was before the party. You’ll still be in the location you last were but you’ll be able to go back to delivering your remaining letters!
Note for pre-existing save files:
There is ONE catch though! For those of you that have an existing save file from before this patch, you won’t be able to replay the party on that save file due to how your dialogue history saves. I’m really sorry about that but there’s nothing I can do to help that sadly.
🌟 Future plans 🌟
I’m not done with Mail Time yet! There’s a number of things in the works:
- The highly requested map feature (I’m working on it!!)
- Continue resolving bugs that come in via Discord/Steam Forums
- There’s additional content that I’d love to bring to you all in a content update(s).
No more info on that yet as I don’t want to announce anything until it’s ready but that’s what I’m working on!
Backing up your save
If you'd like to backup your save before playing the new patch (just in case), you can find it in the following location:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/MailTime/Saved/SaveGames
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/ Epic/MailTime/Saved/SaveGames
It will be called MailTime.sav so just copy that file to a save location!
If you ever want to play on that file again just put it back in the folder, being careful to make sure the name is still MailTime.sav and you can start the game and play it.
💌 V1.00.19 💌
🔥MAJOR:
- introduced the sample board (next to Toph) where you can now deliver your mushroom samples and see all the hints (this should also fix save files where the mushroom quest got stuck)
- when at Greg's cave you can no longer accidentally trigger the dialogue that thinks you're at the van
- moved the parrot waxcap mushroom sample from the snowy end area to a new spot for better access, happy hunting!
- on a save file that's already played the epilogue party reloading the save (continue game) should allow you to continue playing.
- dialogue cameras for each NPC are pre-determined and so cannot clip into the player
- localised remaining untranslated text
⭐MEDIUM:
- moved the 'reset location' location in the pond area so you can't sequence break
- made sure when closing the handbook you regain focus to any other open UI
- prevented HUD from showing in Player Creation screen on new game
- the credits allow you to skip (still needs a bit more work to be solid with hovering and controller nav)
- removed quick start from the main menu to avoid confusion until it can be reworked.
- Express Delivery patch now actually counts seconds (not minutes). (there's still some work to be done here to make the patch more reliable as people are reporting it not working)
- controller navigation issues addressed across a bunch of UI screens
- Kaz no longer becomes unavailable during the Heist storyline as that could interfere with other -deliveries to him.
- fixed an issue where dialogue would never start in the opening sequence if you opened the handbook before it started the dialogue
- resolved a bug where two images in the credits would never show
- resolved errors in Korean translation
✨MINOR:
- fixed a deep hole in the terrain under the waterfall in the pond area
- made mycologist patch count samples delivered accurately
- when loading in a save in the epilogue the party tables won't be invisible
- reduced particles at the big waterfall near Jim & the snowy area
- secret admirer patch will show 1/1 when completed and hovering in the handbook
- introduced the publisher and developer logo to the main menu
- edited the credits to not mention Nintendo Switch or Playstation
- resolved dialogue tags showing in Janet's dialogue on the Japanese translation
- on first startup of the game the game will now attempt to sync with your PC's system language (if possible)
- parrot waxcap mushroom sample now has the correct UI art
- integrated some backend work for the upcoming map feature so that in future all save files will be able to support that. (also compatible with older save files)
- excluded confirm tab in handbook from bookmark cycle so it doesn't close accidentally when using Q/E (keyboard) or L/R (controller)
- renamed 'switch joysticks' to 'swap joysticks' in the settings for clarity
- resolved an issue where for some players not all water would load in
- prevented the game from loading double (reduces load on PC slightly)
