This updates the island of Maupiti adding some new features...

1. Island textures redone so they are much greener.

2. New coral assets imported. You can find the small coral sample area to the North West of Maupiti harbour near the 2 large rocks in the bay. Check out the screen shot on the store page for a more accurate location guide. Performance impact is negligible.

3. Various tweaks to the coast line to smooth the transition from water to land creating some nice beaches and shallow lagoons.

4. Added new rocks to the area.

5. Maupiti now has a smoking caldera!

6. Water clarity above and below the surface has been increased.

7. Underwater blur effect has been removed as you really want to see things clearly as if you are scuba diving.

8. Bluefin boat now has a bit more "pep" which is visible if you accelerate hard from slow speed as the nose will now pop in the air a bit more. I've also increased the prop steering angle so it is more agile at low speed.

9. Vortex has also had its engine retuned for more low down grunt.

Fixed

• The new cosmetic bar has not been localized
  
• Laser did not drop in TechBoxes
  
• Long item names could go beyond the TechBoxes window
  
• Enemy weapon level was not displayed on the kill screen
  
• Sometimes the camera in the main menu could quickly change direction
  
• When using a high FOV, you could sometimes see empty space in the main menu

Changed

• TechBoxes will also upgrade weapons
  
• Increased the maximum number of botcoins a player has to 100,000

Hello everyone! Here is some progress on Orc Massage in July.


An exclusive set of furniture of Ava from the furniture system.





In June, we tested the new fluid effect which can produce the water used in the debut of Mermaid.
Orc Massage’s twitter have presented this scenario in the Mermaid Mangaand will reproduce this performance in the game.






We finished the general base of Mermaid’s animations in June, we are still working on some small details.





The core game mechanics of favorability and massage will be heavily reworked.
This mechanics update is expected to be available together with the debut of Mermaid.


The 0.6.3a version was uploaded in about two days and received some reports of instability issues.
Most of the bugs appeared when we changed the design to optimize the game. We are now temporarily returning the game to the previous version.
The game will update to 0.6.3 after further testing.

This patch brings a nice Lighting overhaul to the entire game, thanks to a shift to Unreal Engine 5. Alongside this is the addition of Veteran mode for normal, brutal and nightmare, plus much more!

Latest Patch Notes:

I am aware of a minor bug with Loading Screens: When they have finished loading there is no "click to continue" text and they instead hang for a second before loading the next zone.

This is due to an engine bug when swapping from UE4 to UE5 and will be resolved asap, but is out of my hands.

> Fixed a bug with Floating Numbers sometimes displaying in incorrect locations.
> Fallen World now has the correct loading screens.
> Fixed a bug with Life Per Hit and Mana Per Hit Floating Numbers not saving it's state.
> Revamped Magic and Enemy Mob vfx.
> Reworked Frozen/Stun logic to prevent enemies turning when Frozen/Stunned.
> Decreased base Stun and Freeze duration to 1 second, down from 2 seconds.
> Reworked all Lighting in the game.
> Added 2 basic Potions.
> Added 3 Unique Potions.
> Added 6 Act 2+ Nightmare Uniques.
> Polished some Campaign Zones.
> Added HUD text for Life/Mana/Exp and Keybindings.
> Added Veteran Mode for Normal, Brutal and Nightmare. This mode has Increased Enemy Stats, but grants more Bonus Loot (Uniques,
Consumables and Materials).
> Added a way to Import Character files.

Cheers,
Sam
