Bug Fixes

  • Fixed several UI conflicts

  • Should no longer be possible to open inventory while in other menus

  • Should not be possible to open inventory while in Camera mode

  • Fixed Audio Sliders playing max volume at 0

    Now correctly mute audio at 0

  • Equipped Helmets are no longer visible in shop and NPC cams

  • Fixed outline shader highlighting objects not being looked at.

    Shader does still occasionally forget to turn off when exiting camera mode. Using the camera again fixes it.

  • Adjusted height that triggers falling state for player. Short drops are less annoying now.

Feature Changes

  • Climbing is being overhauled and has been disabled for now.

New Features

  • Added animal trap tool

    Lure animals in to trap them

    Interact with the trap to disarm and pick it up

  • Added dodge roll for avoiding hostile creatures.

Optimizations

  • most textures have been compressed to reduce the overall size of the game.

    Higher quality textures will be reintroduced as further optimizations are made throughout the game to keep performance high during the testing and EA periods.
