What can you expect from PS1 Updates?

Post-Season 1 Updates are intended for polishing the game and preparing the game for Season 2, which by the current pace would happen somewhere in 2022 Fall with the release of Episode 37. These PS1 updates don't have a schedule and will be happening randomly during the last months of EA and after the game is out of EA.

In detail, these updates include Bug fixing, polish of the current systems, balance and some light revamps, and localization. The goal is to perfect all the content that has been introduced during EA/Season 1 of Ragnorium and fill the gaps that might exist.

The best is yet to come.


Cheers!

- 4 new levels in New Adventures

Levels adjusted:
- Sturdy Flowers
- Once More With Feeling
- Haunted Spa
- Train 2

Now all levels in the game has voice! Voice has just been added to Neptune and Pluto, which were the last levels needing voiceover! If you don't hear voice while playing, set the volume for voice by pausing with "p", and sliding the voice slider (at the bottom of the screen) a bit to the right. Likewise, you can turn it down to 0 if you don't want voice. Oh, yeah, and there is a sale going on!

Fixed "Get all the green gems" achievement.

Just a patch to make things easier in Distantia forest

Made enemies in Distantia give more XP
Some general Wombo Combo bug fixes ( Thanks Kira and Nic )
Made the travelling salesman items a lot cheaper

Preview of the new location w/ music I've been working on for it :


What are these weird rocks?

Playing into the new mining mechanics added last week, I am going to make Entodrive that are only obtainable through mining. Here is a peak at 2 obtained through collecting specific mining items.
Bringing the corresponding mine items to their respective rocks will generate specific Entodrive at level 40. More updates on included Entodrive and mining guides coming in December.

Fiddleweaf - Floral - Upgrades to Reefmopper at level 50

Reefmopper - Floral / Magic


Dowshell - Aqua / Ore - Upgrades to Mortoise at level 50

Mortoise - Aqua / Ingot


New items :
Burning Heart

Freezemite

Frozen Core

Cosmic Core

Mystery Pineapple


How will bartering work?
NPCs will request specific combinations of salvageable items. Upon bringing them the NPC will swap out the salvage for a special item. These items will play into customizing your own server building that I'll share more about in December. This will mostly be a post game mechanic. I will eventually make it possible to hack salvage only monsters before beating the game.
