Update Notes

The Alpha 0.4.0 update mainly focuses on improving the farming mechanics, general in-game interface, performance improvements, and other features that are detailed below.

Farming

The farming mechanics were recreated again with the aim of making it more intuitive, a new pot was added where we can plant the plants that we collect on the map. These pots require soil, water and fertilizer so that our plants have all the necessary nutrients to survive underground.

These new mechanics of watering and fertilizing the pots are accompanied by an information panel where we can at all times the type of plant, its state of oxygen levels, sunlight, water and minerals. Maintaining these values ensures the correct development of the plant so that we can live from them.

From pieces of meat and fluids that we will be collecting in our adventure, we will be able to create fertilizer at the workbench.

Game Interface

This new GUI includes all the elements for the game interface, such as: menu, options, states, belt, inventory, buttons, panels, e.t.c.
All GUI elements are hand-painted.

Other Features

• The lighting in general has been improved, now the bottom of the cave contributes to the lighting of the scene, to avoid dark backgrounds.
• Changed the sun plant's light radius so that it now radiates light to its surroundings and not just the underside, increasing the planting area.
• Fixed sound effects volume.
• Visual improvements.
• Improvements in the game tutorial when the map is activated, showing the icon of the nearest sun plant.
• Added more localized messages for items.
• Adding substantial performance improvements.
• Translation corrections
• Fixed visual small bugs.
