Dear players,

Today starts Major Cold, with winds and snow at the door, freezing the heavens and earth.




Old snow lingers on the ground. New snow greets each home around. We will continue to enhance the game version. Feel free to follow us and share your interesting experiences or provide feedback in the community regarding your gameplay of "24 Solar Terms". We will do our best to assist and address any issues you encounter.

The first update in the 0.6.x series of updates is out!

This adds a new Crypt specific dungeon decor plus some new interactive objects.

As I work on the 0.6.x series I'll be adding more and more custom dungeon styles and adding more objects, both background and interactive. At first they'll come in broad strokes and then a few patches to tweak and tune the styles. This should help make each dungeon just a bit more unique and less repetitive.

Unfortunately existing games won't see the new decor on generated worlds, you'll have to start a new game.

List of changes:

• Creepy Crypts!
  
• Fix family crypt event
  
• Fix computations with very large attributes

ATTENTION: Go to BrVR's steam library page -> gear icon -> properties -> betas -> and opt into this update by selecting the beta branch. This is to reduce unwanted update downloads.

Added Level Critical

A very sprawling level with several sections. It all starts on a street, and you can go into a building which slowly degrades into rubble. There are many explorable paths and exits, even recreations of other levels like level RUN and level 41. There are also many secret areas, items, and side-areas to get lost in. There is a lot of verticality, with ladders in many sections. Suggested by @keeper on our discord server.

Kitty now stalks you in level 974

As the name suggests, kitty will now teleport when you aren't looking at him. This has scared me, and I suspect it will scare you all too.

Revamped level 480

Practically every single room in level 480 has been redone with new props and vibes. A lot of pillars have been added, and low-quality models have been replaced in favor of higher-quality counterparts.

Revamped level run

Many trims and lights have been added to level run alongside many other smaller graphical adjustments. Suggested by @clouddealer on our discord server.

Revamped purgatory

Many of purgatory's rooms have been greatly improved with more props and smoother lighting.

Added more rooms to level 19

Added a couple of very rarely spawning rooms like a room chaulk full of vents. Suggested by @LunanightZ on our discord server.

Reduced the amount of entities in level 188

Now there are four entities on the level instead of an absolute entity spam. This really does help the atmosphere.

Added Gatchi's chip factory

This factory uses a very suspicious device called a "potatinator" to chop potatos into chips. Made in honor of @gatchi13 on our discord server.

Added Tired Crusader's skin insurance

There is now a sign for "Tired Crusader Skin Insurance" on the skin insurance billboard in levels 9/11. Made in honor of @tired_crusader on our discord server.

Added another Tiny to level 7

Sometimes people were avoiding Tiny altogether while in level 7. This is now fixed by adding another Tiny to the alternate path.

Changed air horn noise

It's now much louder and "deep fried" instead of the wimpy air horn previously.
