If the tests of this version are successful, it will be a milestone in the development of Hiraeth and the next works will go faster and juicier!
What's in the new version?
Fixes in save load:
the equipment should save and load completely correctly, also the contents of chests and the degree of use of items such as food, medicine should be correct in the save;
starting a new game when there are already some save slots is not a problem, no errors appear;
deleting saves works correctly;
the state of the ramp on Last Drop is saved - position, it can no longer be started.
The changes are given in the current Help in the game, but after my testing I recommend deleting old save files, because they can cause conflict - they don't have to
Other changes:
Archeo Outpost - there is no longer a problem with lack of air near the start;
Rifle. The general fix is waiting for the new playtest version, but now, after stowing the ammo should be added to the backpack, although after taking out the rifle it has to be reloaded;
a few other changes, I invite you to Discord.
Please also read the help, where you will find some other important information.
What's in the next versions of ☵ HIRAETH Steam Playtest?
It will generally be on its way to the Early Access version, described here https://hiraethgame.com/early-access-plan/ (although some details may change, some points are already partially implemented, such as weather effects). The plan for the near future is:
refining the save load system, connecting all available and new functions, such as charging batteries, tanks or cooking;
restoring the backpack change system in full form;
refining weapon handling, saving its state, ammunition;
making corrections known to me and still reported by the player community - thank you for many very valuable feedbacks!
In addition, in the meantime you can expect changes on Nesoi Island, changes in the weather system - impact on gameplay, changed rules for weather changes, new weapons, equipment repairs, etc.
