Hello y'all,

This is our first little stream, to test things out and get the hang of it, so be gentle :)
We play the game and talk about the game and not-game related things. We may be playing the Beta/Testing version as well to show some of the stuff we are currently working on.

Come hang out, ask questions, make jokes and lets have a jolly ol' time.

Update 0.5.2.2 brings an improved world save system. Now enemy proectiles and enemy AoE attacks are also saved when switching to the skilltree for example. Minimap icons update issues have also been fixed.

• Improved world save system which can now also save enemy projectiles and enemy AoE attacks

• Emerald Widow has now an increased cooldown after eggs have been spawned

• Emerald Widow spawned eggs are now also saved and persistent when switching game scenes
  
• Fixed minimap icon for chest not beeing updated directly when opening the chest
  
• Fixed minimap icons for map event markers not being deleted after the event is completed

Hello fleshlings! The sun is upon us! Perfect time to stay inside and go to virtual worlds.

The main focus of this update is returning functionality to VR. A new version of Unity allowed the input technology we use to coexist with the Unity input system that works with VR controllers! So - SteamVR and OpenXR controllers are now officially supported!

When you launch the game from Steam there are now two options, one to play using SteamVR and one to play using OpenXR. Depending on your device, one may work better than the other, we recommend trying SteamVR first.

If your VR controllers do not work, you may need to reset the options to defaults. Due to the way our rebindable controls work, there is a chance that it won’t load the defaults and will assume that the VR controls aren’t bound to anything.

The bulk of the work on this update went in to upgrading Unity and making sure that VR worked overall, there’s still some interactions that are a little rough around the edges that we will clean up in the future. Additionally, we were only able to test on a Valve Index, and so while it should be the same on other devices, it might still need some fixing around the edges, and we hope you’ll help us out with that with good bug reports.

All of that out of the way, we did do some other things along the way:

FIXES:

• Fixed the UI element for the countdown in the dollhouse not showing appearing
  
• Fixed Specimen 13 spawning in the last 5 rooms breaking the ending sequence of the base mansion
  
• Fixed a duplicate camera in the neutral ending
  
• Fixed Specimen 6’s music restarting when you left his spawn room
  
• Fixed Whiteface’s roots having positioning and material errors
  
• Fixed it being possible to have Spooky appear behind geometry during the ending sequence
  
• Fixed the pause menu being very out of alignment after recentering VR while playing the game
  
• Fixed lighting errors in one small room
  
• Removed Let's Player Rare room due to people misinterpreting it and is no longer accurate for Spooky's HD specifically.

TWEAKS:

• Small tweaks on the visuals and timing in the neutral and bad endings of the base mansion
  
• Added a display for what VR SDK is currently active in the options menu
  
• Small tweaks on the nightmare sequence in the dollhouse to make it more unnerving
  
• Took 100ms of sound effect delay off Specimen 6’s audio cue for teleporting behind you

WHAT’S NEXT
Next we are going to fix all the bugs that appeared out of nowhere because we did a major Unity version update. After that, we are working on SOUP. Spooky’s Object Upgrade Project. We’re creating 3d replacements for the remaining 2d sprite objects. And once we’re all SOUPed up, ports will be coming to a console near you!

Thanks for being here, and thanks for playing our game! If you run in to problems please check out our bug thread on the Steam forums - if someone hasn’t reported it yet follow the instructions there and help us get the information we need to fix it.

Hello!

More fixin' up, more quality of life stuff. There'll probably be another patch like this tomorrow as well as I begin working on Cloud Saves.

Anyway, here's the list:

Changes tagged with <COMMUNITY> were suggestions from you, the players, in the Discussion board, in YouTube videos, in Twitch streams, or in the Discord. Thanks!

• The "Medium's Bane" Challenge (3rd map) has been adjusted, so that skills such as Purifying Circle and Curious Wisp don't inflict multiple counts of damage upon the Player when they shouldn't.
  
  
• Fixed issue where the Goblin King's special ability (3rd map) would hit more than once, resulting in you being obliterated if you're hit.
  
  
• <COMMUNITY> The Raccoon Pet no longer has reduced move speed when carrying chests.
  
  
• <COMMUNITY> The Raccoon Pet now moves map event objects, such as Crystalized Chests and Portals, to the player.
  
  
• Fixed issue where Steam integration was not properly updating mid-run (this is also why taking screenshots was behaving strangely).
  
  
• Fixed issue where Entangle was incorrectly giving the player an invisible aura which destroyed projectiles.
  
  
• Fixed crash related to Pets when no enemies were present on the screen.

As usual, thank you everyone for your continued support and patience, especially when it comes to bugs.

Stay awesome!

Hi folks,

this update is a preparation for the upcoming world generation update - it introduces lots of new plants and trees, vegetables and fruits, farming and plant growth as well as volumetric clouds!

In total, this update introduces more than 60 new trees (including saplings and young versions), more than 30 plants and crops (without taking the various growth stages into account) and 11 rocks and dead tree trunks. This update also introduces more than 10 new edible fruits and vegetables as well as two new smelting furnaces (which are reworked versions of the furnaces from the Java version).




Various plants can be cultivated now: Similar to how it worked in the Java version, you can get a seedling from crops by using the sickle, which can then be planted on arable land (which can be prepared with a hoe).

Apart from the new content, this update also introduces a first version of volumetric clouds: Unlike a flat sky texture, they're actual "fluffy" 3D elements in the world. While you can't directly interact with them, it's still possible to have tall mountains or skyscrapers which soar above the clouds.
While the clouds are rendered very efficiently, they still have a small impact on performance, so if your machine is already struggling with the new version, it may be necessary to disable them - this can be done in the graphics settings.

Clouds already change depending on the weather. For instance, if you type "weather overcast" into console, you will see how the clouds will become bigger and more dense.

One note about the cloud altitude: The clouds may appear to be at a relatively low altitude currently, but actually the spawn point in the demo world is already at a relatively high elevation. This will change with the 2nd part of the world gen update.




We also took this opportunity to rework the vegetation shader - there is now a much better wind effect on trees and a better shader for snow. This also applies to plants and other elements like boulders or tree trunks.

Some of the new plants and trees will already spawn in the demo world, but if you want to check them all out, you can use the new creative mode vegetation placement tool: To do that, enable the creative mode by opening the console (press ~) and type "gm 1" (without quot. marks), then press F6 to enable the placement tool. Open your inventory to select one of the new plants, and hold C to bring up a radial menu with various settings.

The new content will provide a good foundation for the upcoming 2nd part of the world generation update. We've prepared two screenshots which will give you an idea of the how the upcoming forests will look like, for example:






As always, this update also fixes various issues, bugs and introduces some other improvements under the hood: For instance, terrain modifications will work considerably faster now. Please find the full changelog below.

------

The next update will be the 2nd part of the world generation: It will enable you to create randomly generated worlds, it will contain various islands and more diverse landscapes (forests etc), and it will also introduce flowing water - this also means the islands will no longer be surrounded by gravel, instead there will be actual oceans. Feel free to check out the development status on our Trello Roadmap :)

The settings panel now has a checkbox for highlighting any neighborhood that is not connected to any roadway. This usually happens when a neighborhood is new, and you just haven't noticed it on the map. By default, the checkbox is turned on, so if you like this option there is nothing that you need to adjust.

If a neighborhood is on the map but it doesn't have any roads connected to it then periodically it will display a conspicuous warning from your current camera position to the direction of the new neighborhood. This should help a lot in finding new neighborhoods that spawned without being noticed.
