Hello everyone! Patch 1.55 is now live with new features and a couple of fixes.
Features:
-New walls: We added a new type of wall to the building tab. These are brick walls and to build them you need to create bricks from clay.
-New material: Now you are able to dig up clay at the waterside.
-Bricks: Bricks can be made at a furnace from raw clay.
-New plantable foliage: We added a few new flowers to the building panel.
-New buildable furnitures: We added a few new buildable furnitures.
-Jones now teaches a few new buildable items.
Gameplay:
-Skillbooks now grant learning points if you already know the skill the book teaches. (the book will be removed on usage)
-Wizard spells do more average damage. The maximum damage of offensive spells are not changed, but the minimum damage has been increased.
-Easy difficulty: The enemy health reduction on easy difficulty has been increased. So enemies have slightly less health on easy difficulty.
-Durability: Durability decreases slower on easy difficulty.
-Pet recall is now enabled during combat.
-Young animals now stack in a single inventory slot.
-The fire damage reduction while it is raining has been reduced.
-Osric now sells more chickens.
GUI:
-The save/load panel now asks you if you really want to load a saved game. So accidental double clicking a save slot when wanting to save won’t load that slot.
-Some basic UI text has been altered to make things clearer.
-Some NPC world dialogs are now colored.
-Picklocking floating texts stay longer on the screen.
Fixes:
-Fixed the orientation logic for a few buildable furnitures.
-The Close Shot ability now properly indicates usability when there are no arrows left.
-Fixed a crash that could happen when teleporting to the safeplace during an item craft.
-In certain situations your pet did not autoattack. This should be fixed now.
-Sometimes when loading in a new map the system would dismiss your pet even when there was space around the player.
Engine:
-Updated the engine libraries.
-Initialization of the sound system has been changed to increase compatibility.
For translators:
-The after_release.xml has been changed.
-The gui_texts.xml has been changed.
We hope everyone is having a nice summer!
Thank you for your support!
Yours,
