We're here, a half-year after our launch on Steam with new Updates, Quality of Life, and Bug fixes to make your experience in Cassette Beasts even better!
Weâve jumped from 1.2 to 1.5 to keep version numbers consistent across platforms (Switch was already on 1.4!).
New Additions:
Added a button to view the names and descriptions of status effects in battle when using a controller. This was previously only possible if you were using a mouse.
Added a colour-blind accessibility option to change health bars from green/red to blue/orange.
Added an audio setting to mute transformation sound effects.
If you have more than 200 items in a single tab in the inventory, the tab will be automatically split into pages of 50 items each to aid in navigating large numbers of stickers.
Several filtering options have been added to the sticker inventory: Name, Rarity, Category, and Elemental Type.
A Bulk Recycle button has been added to the sticker inventory. It can be used when a filter is set, and recycles every sticker that matches the current filters.
Fixed:
Fixed Intercept not affecting team-target attacks affected by Unitarget.
Fixed status effects ticking down twice on the round that you fuse.
Fixed an NPC in Harbourtown who sometimes spawned underground.
Fixed Kayleighâs name not being displayed when she talks for Barkley in post-boss cutscenes set in the cafe.
Fixed inconsistent music near the Cherry Meadow cave.
Fixed monsters with Vampire healing from 0 HP when they should be defeated.
Fixed Ghostly and Gambit killing player characters if they record a monster while the status has 1 turn left.
Fixed Resonance not overloading if you use Dog Years to double it.
Fixed some geometry that could get a player temporarily stuck under a walkway in the Abandoned Mine in the marsh.
Fixed Violaâs quest not becoming complete if you defeated the storyâs final boss before finishing it.
Fixed player charactersâ sleeves periodically resetting to long sleeves regardless of selected top.
Other Changes:
Controls in the inventory have been changed to LB/PgUp and RB/PgDn to switch tabs, to become consistent with other tabbed UIs. Left/Right can be used to jump up and down the list like PgUp/PgDn used to.
Added some text to the controller select screen to help new players figure out what they need to do to enable and start local co-op.
Added a dialog to confirm the playerâs decision to flee before actually attempting to flee.
Added a hard limit of 2500 to the number of stacks of stickers players can keep in their inventory. This should help keep memory use from getting so large it causes saving to fail. Any stickers you pick up past that limit, that donât stack with stickers you already have, are dropped until youâre back under the limit. This wonât automatically erase any stickers you already have past the limit when you load a file, but you will need to recycle some to be able to pick up more stickers.
The game now keeps 2 previous versions of each save file in addition to the current file itself. If it detects that the most recent version is corrupt, it will automatically attempt to load one of the backups instead.
We're excited to bring you a new patch update! Our team has been hard at work addressing feedback and making improvements to enhance your gaming experience. Here's a quick rundown of what's new:
Material Updates: We've adjusted the materials for certain objects, making them more distinct and noticeable.
Sound Fixes: Some sound issues have been addressed and fixed for a smoother audio experience.
Boundary Adjustments: We've fine-tuned some boundary sizes to ensure they align better with the game environment.
We always strive to provide the best experience for our players, and your feedback plays a crucial role in that. Please continue to share your thoughts and suggestions with us.
Thank you for your continued support and happy gaming!
October is a special month worldwide, marked by a collective effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, known as Pinktober. It's a time when pink ribbons make their appearance, symbolizing the solidarity in our fight against this devastating disease. Breast cancer affects countless lives, and Pinktober plays a crucial role in educating and empowering individuals to make informed choices about their health.
The heart of Pinktober lies in knowledge and awareness. Understanding the signs and symptoms of breast cancer is crucial to early detection and better outcomes. Regular self-checks and consultations with healthcare professionals are essential practices that can save lives and by educating ourselves and sharing this knowledge with loved ones, we contribute to the larger mission of breast cancer awareness.
Pinktober reminds us that our health should always be our top priority. Prioritizing regular health check-ups, screenings, and promoting these practices among our friends and family is a fundamental message of the campaign.
Every year, compassionate virtual truckers come together to support the battle against breast cancer. While many choose to make direct donations or raise awareness in creative ways, we offered an alternative a few years ago, as our team decided to join this noble cause with a Pink Ribbon Charity Event. In 2019, we introduced two special DLCs for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 from which 100% of the income goes to charity every year.
If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact and add some unique paint jobs to your trucks, now is the perfect time to grab these DLCs or gift them to friends. You can also spread awareness by decorating your trucks with these paint jobs and sharing your support on social media under #Pinktober2023.
Last year, we made a slight change in our charity approach - instead of dividing the funds, we decided to direct the entire sum raised from the DLCs to a local charity, the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer. This time we will keep the same approach, so, stay tuned to our blog at the end of the month as we'll provide an update on this year's Pinktober, including the final donation amount.
Weâd like to extend our gratitude to all who have generously supported Pinktober throughout the years. Your contributions, whether through donations, raising awareness, or attending awareness seminars, make a significant difference in the fight against breast cancer. Together, we stand united in our mission to bring hope to countless lives!
