On Thursday, July 4 from 9:00AM until 10:00AM CET, we will conduct maintenance works on the Wingspan online server. During this time, entering online mode will be impossible.
‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️
Please end all your matches before the maintenance and do not start any new ones close to the maintenance hours. Otherwise, there's a risk of losing ongoing games and karma points.
Let your fellow birders know about online maintenance, so the process can go smoothly.
The first update is coming out today and includes the following fixes:
Improved ladder spawn system
The ladder will no longer perform tricks like a skateboard when spawned too close to player. Player now blocks ladder spawns. Ladder should no longer spawn inside or behind walls (there were a few such spots. Thanks Plami).
Added a highlight for the ladder when it is far from the player.
This will help locate it in dark areas like the Crystal Cave.
Added a "Restart" label next to the game reset button.
Improved lighting in the Lava Cave.
Fixed a bug that caused the ladder to spawn after clicking on the menu screen.
And that's all for today. Report any bugs, and they will be fixed next week due to the trip I mentioned in my previous post. Additionally, I want to thank everyone who purchased Ladder It Up! You are awesome and keep climbing!
Whispered rustling of grass, Brave Ones! A disturbed pack of wolves got up from their lair and raced in a low-lying run along barely visible field paths, away from an invisible enemy in the tall grass. The birds feeding on the grains of field plants took to the sky with many-voiced angry cries.
The Old Man traveling far from the scene along the edge of the forest thoughtfully looked at the horizon of mixed grasses. Who could be hiding in the sea of green? As he approaches, the hum of something flying in the air becomes louder, and the tops of the stalks fall under the influence of an invisible force, more and more noticeable.
A few more dozen meters - and a beautiful maiden in fur clothes with a tight braid comes into view, throwing out discs that emanate icy cold. Without a doubt, a Brave has been encountered on the path!
The girl speaks little: her fearsome weapon, knowing no barriers and capable of destroying opponents by the dozens and hundreds, speaks for her. The Old Man is inspired and once again declares a popular call in search of the wisdom of a new path. A contest is announced!
Condition: Write a guide about the heroine Zina. Highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the gameplay, share your opinion on equipment, best abilities. Share the path to victory.
Publish your work in a special section for manuals. Attention: Don't forget to specify your in-game ID. Deadline for submissions: July 6, 19:00 UTC.
The winners will be announced on July 7 at the zenith. In life, the most important thing is not triumph, but the struggle. Only the path has meaning, goals are sought only by those who need a guiding star.
