Fixed tooltips when hovering things, such as buffs/debuffs, players, etc.
If the maximum number of players have joined a fight during the join window, the fight will immediately begin without the need to wait for the timer to finish.
Dire Wolf
Skill: Menace - wasn't supposed to do damage, but then suddenly was? Fixed that!
Draw Blood Passive referenced the Troll when hovered, fixed that to be consistent with the boss.

Improvements to the setup process has been made to make sure you can't accidentally leave in the middle of the setup, causing issues in the game.
Continue to enjoy the Nulgath Finale with more side-quests, rewards, and improved gameplay experience. Talk to Oblivion in Battleon to dive back into the OverSoul! Nulgath-themed Quest Pets received some updates, many with new quests, so talk yours today to start earning new rewards!

Side-Quests and Quest Pets
Hire Quests (Servants of Nulgath quest pets)
You can now ‘hire’ Servants of Nulgath to serve you directly! These quests aren’t designed to be the most difficult but they are still rewarding to complete! Each Servant is earnable through gameplay and comes with their own exclusive quests that will have you exploring all levels of the OverSoul. You hire these Servants from Malakai, where else, at the Throne of Nulgath.
Combat Style Quests
The Oblivion Blade of Nulgath now offers an array of Combat Style quests. These quests let you choose a unique combination of weapons to dual wield and master, tailored to your own preferred combat style. You must own the weapons you want to wield and, remember, the reward is only a cosmetic representation of your mastery.
Nation Loyalty Quests
Skew has off-loaded his “Nation Loyalty” quests to Oblivion. Continue or begin your journey toward becoming a loyal follower of Nulgath with these quests.
Juggernaut Items
Juggernaut Items are the best that the Nulgath Nation currently has to offer, which means they are also the most sought after and difficult to obtain. Only the most dedicated follower of Nulgath should attempt to obtain them. But with great sacrifice comes great reward.
Hanzo Void
3 new Reward Quests have been added to Hanzo Blademaster NPC, and some new quests and updates have been made to Hanzo Quest Pet. Hint: Some of the new Hanzo weapon rewards are required for Combat Style quests, so take a look at the rewards before you start.

Many side-quests and dungeons in the Nulgath Finale maps have been adjusted for better gameplay experiences, including new rewards, greater availability of some crafting materials, renamed quests for clarity and consistency, and additional quests on Quest Giver NPCs. The most affected areas and NPCs are the Shadow Dungeon (Prison) with dozens of new drops, Oblivion Blade of Nulgath quest pet, Nulgath’s Larvae quest pet, and Crag and Bamboozle quest pets.

A small but much belated update on the state of Episode 3:
First off, let me apologize for the lack of proper upkeep. I'm just one person and I've had a lot on going on in my personal life since the release of ADACA Eps 1 & 2 back in 2022. However, I still shouldn't have waited so long to actually give updates on what's going on.
Ep 3's story has undergone a few rewrites and technical issues since fall of '22. Also the post launch support for Ep 2 left me feeling very burnt-out for much of early 2023. During this period of burn-out I also began work on a new project (more on that later), as well as got my own place to live for the first time in my life; so its not all bad news.
Lately I have been making good strides with wrapping up Ep 3's development, and I hope (fingers crossed) I can get it out the door this spring! Every critical level and encounter is largely in place and most of what's left is play-testing and polish!
Keep in mind, I am ONE PERSON working on this game; so bare with me. Future delays are still possible even though I feel like they're unlikely now.
As far as details go, I don't want to give too much away as it would be silly to spoil the game after such a long wait. But here are a couple small peeks at what you might see...
Again, I'm sorry for not being more transparent. I know a lot of you have been waiting a while now for news and being met with near silence must not have inspired much faith.
The manual for Star Explorers has finally gotten an update!
It covers a few of the game's "new" features and corrects some errors that have not been relevant for a while. You should be able to open it via the in-game menu link, as well as from your Steam library.
Please feel free to send me any feedback or suggestions on how it can be improved.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this early access release a success! We greatly appreciate all the feedback and hope to continue to make this game the best it can be! With that being said, here are the patch notes for this update.
Added new Enemy, the minotaur.
Ammo being carried by primary weapon now effects player speed.
Added new weapons.
Fixed bug where pressing pause on death animation would cause a flip between the pause and unpause.
Fixed typo in item.
You can no longer buy ammo for melee weapons.
Added leveling to melee weapons.
Fixed a bug where enemies would be hurt by melee weapons on benches.
The fishing pole no longer appears in the box.
New Enemy + Weapon
The minotaur is the main boss of the maze map. His weapon, the Minotaur's Malleus will be purchasable on a bench that spawns on the minotaur's death spot. The hammer has an AOE effect that can take out groups of enemies at a time. Killing the minotaur will also allow the hammer to be found in the random box. The minotaur's death counts as the Secret to the Maze level.
