This is the largest update before the 1.0 release, finishing the main quest with three different endings. There's also a ton of additions and overhauls, with a complete update for the entire engine.
New music track by Wiktoria Zac for Spire of the Ancients, a new large dungeon with a companion system. Check out her music video here:
New map system:
View the Waking World map and unlock names of areas as they are discovered. There is also a local map view for each outdoor zone, this covers open world areas, not dungeons or Dreamrealms.
New saved game location:
Saved game data has been changed to a new location! This change was necessary for Linux users.
When starting a new game and you previously had Early Access saves, you won't see your saved games loaded. There will be a button at the bottom center to "Transfer Early Access saves". This is a one time use, and will overwrite whatever saves you currently have, so use this first thing before starting a new game.
The saved games in the Steam folder will remain, but they are no longer active and can be deleted after transferring.
Streamer items:
Many streamer items are now in game. Some can be found in the open world, others have their own code to access them. Thank you for playing the game in early access and for all your feedback. I know many others have streamed, if you streamed the game during early access and want an in game item, let me know before the 1.0 update!
