Game Development: Yule Rat

Haven & Hearth · published 22 Dec 2024, 22:34 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

New Implementations
-----------------------

  • Added Rat Dungeons. Occasionally a hole in the wall may spawn inside houses, to which is affixed a myserious nail. Incanting the strange words upon the nail, by right-clicking, will allow you to enter the Kingdom-under-the-Floorboards of Ratdom. "Plaguemaw's Chittering Labyrinth of Cheddar", "Gorgobrie's Deathless Nook of Villainy", and "Rennettigan's Rancid Basement of Brie", all await the intrepid adventurer!
  • Added "Yule Cracker". A new strange growth has sprouted on trees everywhere in the Hearth, in festive celebration of the season!

Small Fixes
-----------------------

  • "Candy Cane", "Mulch", "Cucumber", and "Pipeweed Leaf" are now stackable
  • Baby Reindeers now give "Suckling's Maw"s when butchered.
  • Removed armor from "Hussar Wings". Made them gildable. "Hussar Wings" can no longer be equipped in the backpack slot.


As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Items, for the fair price of $5, $7, $9 is the "Giftwrap Cap", "Rudolph Cap", and "Christmas Wizard's Hat".

$5 A wonderfully boyish gift, wrapped with gold and ribbon, to put a ribbon on any occasion.
$7 Santa's most trusty steed need not dread the cold this season, decked out in the warmth of a knitted cap!
$9 A well kept secret at the Invisible College is that the vast majority of the season's magic is produced by this hat alone.

All Bronze subscribers have been awarded the "Giftwrap Cap", free of charge, all Silver subscribers have also been awarded the "Rudolph Cap" free of charge, and all Gold subscribers have also been awarded the "Christmas Wizard's Hat", free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------

  • With this patch we will be heading out for some R'n'R over the holidays. Thank you to all who made 2024 the fantastic H&H year that it was! Best wishes to you and yours for wonderful holidays, and see you again in the new year. Merry Christmas!
  • Again urging any custom client maker who wishes to stay relevant to get with the new rendering times. Support for the old resources will be dropped at some point.
  • Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
  • Time to... like us on Facebook?
  • Time to... follow us on Twitter?

Enjoy!
