I have began experimenting with projectile based weapons. My plan is to have a Bow, Handgun, Rifle, and Shotgun. Currently I have just been doing some testing with a "Bean Gun" which you can see in the following video
Last week I showed some pictures of the new animals in Wild Omission. However they didnt yet have any animations, and would just walk around without moving their legs. I have now made some (admittedly janky looking) animations for walking and idling. They will also swim when in water.
Because there are now animals it only makes since that they would drop food when killed. There are now three new types of food items, Pork, Beef, and Mutton. Each food item has a raw, and cooked version. Raw meat can be cooked in a campfire or furnace. Eating raw meat will deal damage.
Water Shader Improvements
The water shader has been given some touchups. Previously it had some weird normal shading artifacts, and the shore ripples were flowing in the wrong direction. Both of these issues have been resolved, and the water looks much better.
Improved Impact Decal
I have made a much higher quality impact decal texture.
Blood Effects
Along with the new decal texture, a new Blood Decal, Particle, and Sound effect have been added for impact on anything living.
Small Changes/Bug Fixes
Made footstep sound effects quieter based on player feedback.
Centered consumption sounds.
Fixed Escape not closing the pause menu.
Fixed items falling through ground.
Fixed quick moving items to full crate from causing items to go missing.
Fixed item name tags from staying on screen when the inventory menu is closed.
Fixed animal spawning causing game to crash.
Fixed bug that caused low health effects to not show up.
- You can now create public multiplayer lobbies! - Lots of multiplayer fixes. - Fixed an issue where the combat phase would end if you had both unbreakable and not unbreakable units fighting.
The fourth series of Topps BUNT cards are here - and they look and play incredibly! Spanning from Silver to Gold to Diamond to Perfect, across many positions across the virtual diamond, these cards will delight your eyes and contribute to success of your League and Tournament teams!
Today’s update brings something very special - a completely new zone, the Desert! New creatures, resources and riddles are waiting for you!
We also added a new, fun gameplay feature: Photography. After completing Rebecca’s quest, you will receive a Camera and be able to take photos of anything you find interesting. Ask around: perhaps someone else could make use of your photography skills?
We have also recognized that some players have issues related to controls due to specific keyboards that they’re using. As such, from now on, Keybinds are available.
With this patch and previous ones, we have added a staggering amount of content to the base release, and there’s still more to come before the full launch. As such, in accordance with Early Access information on the Store page, we will be increasing the game’s price slightly next month. Because of that, now is the BEST time to buy the game!

We hope these changes will make your stay on the Fern Island more comfortable. Rest assured that your feedback is always heard, and is an important part of our workflow for future updates. Thank you for all activity so far, reporting issues and hanging out with us in Discord. We couldn’t have done this without you!
Happy post-BG3-launch day! Thank you so much for all the love and support you’ve shown Baldur’s Gate 3 – it’s been surreal to finally launch this game after six years in development, and an incredible honour to watch so many of you play and discover what the team has built. We hope you’ll enjoy BG3 for many months – even years – to come.
All that said, Hotfix #1 is coming in fresh: today’s update takes care of several crashes, bugs and much more.
We’ve been reading your reports on issues with saving your game, and have found a culprit – our cross-saves. Bearing in mind this will only be a useful feature come September 6 when the PlayStation 5 version launches (and beyond), we’ve decided to disable it for now to allow us to solve the issue in the interim. You shouldn’t notice anything in-game and Steam Cloud saves are unaffected by this change.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report these issues to us. As always, reach out to our support team if you run into trouble.
And please keep showing us your Tavs and their adventures in the Forgotten Realms! We’ve been waiting for so long to see what you get up to. 🙏

Level: Continued working on the materials as well as research regarding level building tools.
Code: Continuing to make progress on the processing range.
Character: Great progress on outfits and concepts. We will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Animations: Maya x Shiva minigame finished on the animation side this week and ready for implementation. Maya x Rad animation pack finished and currently being implemented into the engine. Transferred the Maya x Kral animations from last week to Shey x Kral.
Design: Finished a first pass of character progression design. Review done, but ultimately not yet approved. Continued to work on various cutscenes.

I didn't quite make it for the stealth fest but 1.1 Resistance Supplies is now finally live!
You can now cause comms blackouts at any time with the jam pod, blind ships with the new dazzler gadget, silently disable them with EMP effectors or the new Hex-9 hybrid tool, link enemy reactors to eliminate multiple ships simultaneously or straight up blanket an outposts with various types of (expensive) fire support. Passive upgrades also got many new additions, among other things now allowing for high accuracy builds via hard reductions of minimum weapon sway. Sonar can be modified to detect through objects, you can get free disguises each zone, or reactive dazzlers that blind anyone who looks at you too carefully. There are ways to increase your personnel and PS gains from missions now, but you can also spend excess PS on a one time run bonus or go into missions with a completely random loadout, using the new shuttle ship that gets crowd-sourced gear when deploying. Oh and there is a offense-focused salvager that can straight up disassemble wrecked CorPo ships to regain health.
If you have some PS banked you can add some of the new gear to your loadout immediately. Other items come with new unlock requirements, many revolving arround mastering the new and old ships. I also added a couple new training simulations to introduce some of the new items as well as previously existing mechnics. And TacHI can now give you random tips on the title screen. Cheers! Full changelog here.
As with all my updates, 1.1 is now part of the game for free. I hope you get something out of it. A thousand limbs uplift you!
