I know we're in October already! But we're just starting the month, so it's fair to name it like that! ; )
Here's what you came for, the update list!
You'll finally be able to open the door that takes you to the Temple Ruins! Beware of the zombies! And also make sure to bring the key to open it from the Forgotten Jungle...
Another island! I hope you've been working on your upper body strength, because you have to row to get there!
What's waiting for you there? We won't tell, but it will really come in handy for the rest of your adventure.
I wanted to write something funny about returning ancient overdue books, but the place is scary enough as it is without grumpy librarians and late fees, you´ll see!
That's for the locations, we also have a ton of improvements for you to try.
The number one request we get from every streamer is that when you slain a big enemy, sometimes it's body covers the loot bags, so you'd have to click around blindly to find it.
NO MORE! Now you can directly click on the corpse, you'll get the loot and the body will disappear! Like magic!
Before the camera was always at a fixed distance behind you, but now it will react to the environment pulling it close to you if there's a wall or any other object, so now it won't clip behind stuff like it used to! Fancy!
Now it won't let you pull items from it while you're playing (this is for you, Arbitrarium!) so the players that click and drag won't have any more problems while fighting!
We have more in store for the next few weeks, stay tuned!
