🌊 Ahoy Voyagers! 🌊

We are now just over a month away from our initial launch, and we’re here with our first major update!

This update is focused on trying to address as much of the feedback from our launch as we possibly can. Thank you so much for all of your reviews, forum posts, Discord messages, Reddit posts, survey responses, and more! Your feedback has been instrumental in shaping our plans for the rest of the year, and we are excited to continue building the game with you.

As a reminder, we have another patch coming in December that will be more focused on content and expanding the game while still focusing on the areas you’ve told us you want to see most - so look forward to more updates that give you even more things to do!

We have greatly improved our native Controller Support, including updated controller mappings, controller glyphs displaying in game, and improved game feel for controller mechanics. We are still fixing some bugs with controller support, but we hope this will be a big improvement for players! Currently this only supports XBox-style controllers.

• Gameplay actions are now supported by controller

• Game Inputs now display controller glyphs when playing on controller for game actions

• Controller will work natively without the use of Steam Input

• Virtual Cursor is now available when navigating menus

• New Boat: Solo Scouter

  • Features a single station control for speed and steering, 8 storage slots, and faster speed / maneuverability in a small package!

• Sailing Controls HUD

  • Sailing controls are now displayed on screen for better onboarding

  • Controls can be hidden by using the ‘F’ key

• Craft from Storage moved earlier into Progression

  • Based off of your feedback, we have moved Crafting from Storage significantly further up in the knowledge tree. Now the first real chest that is unlocked has Craft from Storage capabilities!

• Named Storages

  • Now you are able to name your storages!

• Store Like Items from outside of the chest

  • Use the hotkey F while focused on the chest to Store Like Items without opening the inventory

  • The hotkey also works within the inventory too!

• Sort Inventory

  • A place for everything, and everything in its place. You are now able to sort your inventory!

• Resources now no longer respawn underneath buildings or props

• Square frames can now snap to other square frames

• New flat roof options so help linked rooms look better together

• Changed camera-culling for grass so when looking up to build the grass does not occlude the camera

Y’all love the skimmer and we do too! Hopefully these changes will help you skim your hearts out 🙂

• Food, Bandages and Potions can now be used while on the Skimmer

• Skimmer now has both higher base speed and acceleration

• Skimmer sprint stamina is now equal to land sprint

• Ocean Form now has no sprint costs

Item Weight Reductions

• Sharpstone weight reduced from 12 → 8 per item

• Tidemetal and Amberite Ore weight reduced from 12 → 10 per item

• Tidemetal Ingot weight reduced from 18 → 15

• Ancient Fragments weight reduced from 20 → 10

• Stalker Head weight reduced from 100 → 50

• Snapper Head weight reduced from 50 → 25

• There is now a server toggle to Disable Encumbrance

We received a lot of feedback about the variety within the Ruins. We’ve always wanted to add more types of encounters, and have more challenging and interesting variety within the fights as well. We hope to keep expanding this in the future, but hopefully at least this puzzle encounter will add some much needed variety!

• New Encounter Type: Puzzle

  • We now have a new Encounter type, Puzzle, to offer a new type of challenge in place of only combat

• Each Biome now has 1 combat challenge, 1 traversal challenge and 1 puzzle challenge

• Construct now attacks and moves faster, and has more variation on when it will do its ranged or melee attacks

We wanted to add a bit more variation and inputs into the combat system, especially for non-shield players who currently have no access to stuns. Additionally, we wanted to address feedback about animation lock-outs and hit impacts, and make the playspace more even between Bows, Spears and Swords so that they can all feel like viable weapon choices.

• Stagger Mechanic

  • Enemies now have a stagger bar and stagger defense

  • Attacking or parrying with any weapon applies stagger

  • When the enemies stagger bar is filled, they are stunned

  • Stunned enemies take increase damage

• Combat Responsiveness Improvements

  • Enhanced VFX / SFX when hitting enemies

  • Reduced over-zealous knockback on enemies when being hit by Spear in multiplayer games

  • Reduced animation lockout times between attacks, and transitioning from attacking to movement

  • Maintain more forward momentum when transitioning from moving to attacking

• More combat options

  • The sword can now be used underwater

⚠️ There are some changes in this patch that require port 7778 to be port-forwarded in the modem settings. If you are self-hosting a Dedicated Server, please ensure you have this port forwarded. If you are renting a server, this should not be a concern. ⚠️

• Server browser now shows more servers at once. No need to continually refresh to find your server!

• Direct Connect improvements:

  • Better error messaging when failing to join a server.

  • Uses actual IP resolution— now you can get around NAT hairpinning and other network issues.

• Invite Codes now work more consistently for Dedicated Servers.

We have added new accessibility options based off of community feedback! We want to continue adding more over time, so hopefully these are the first of many

• Toggle Screen Shake

• Toggle Sprint

• FOV settings (available under Advanced Display settings)

• Toggle Camera Easing

• Toggle Mouse Smoothing

• Invert Boat Steering / Sail Controls

• Camera / ADS Sensitivity

• Joueurs français, réjouissez-vous! Hotbar is now remappable, and the boat now follows the movement mapping, so it will be remapped as well!

We have a new set of emotes available! Hopefully this will give some fun options to express yourself and interact with others.

That's all! We hope you all enjoy these updates and continue to support us through to our next big update to our Spirit Companions in December.

Have fun!

Hello everyone (❁´◡`❁)

New week, new updates. Demo is now a thing of the past, code is nice and cleaned up, and now, we’re back in business putting out features like there’s no tomorrow. This week we’ve got some actual content to talk about. Starting with:

Le~ crit

So, we decided that we wanna give the players some occasional and sudden surges of dopamine, as well as add a chance to get out of some tough situations, you should’ve never gotten yourself into with pure luck. Therefore we decided that the best way to do that will be adding critical strikes. Some pieces of equipment will have a base crit chance, that will be upgradable via character skill nodes, and special cards. This will exist not only as an additional thing you can do, but also a way you can build your entire deck around. This should give some of you gambling enjoyers a chance (pun intended) to find their playstyle. 

We’re looking for ways to make the crit look extra JUICY by implementing various things, like custom animations, exclusive vfx, time stop and different damage number. Here’s an example result of how that's going:

No Crit: Crit:

We’re really looking forward to what builds we’ll be able to cook up with this feature, share your thoughts with us!

Burning Cards

Some of the enemies in the new dungeon will be able to set our characters ablaze, this will cause the characters actions to cost them health. This also causes the cards to appear “on fire” while on players hand, here’s how that looks:

Its straight fire🔥🔥🔥, The vfx under the character is subject to change, but we’re very happy with how the effect looks on the cards.

This and other mechanics should add a breath of fresh air to the overall experience of the new dungeon.

New analytics

So, after our last analytics post, we went and analysed some more data from our demo playtest (some of the people on our team are real data freaks). Here’s the things they compiled for us to enjoy.

The First Shrike Fight
The first Shrike battle was attempted 3771 times, and 3153 of those attempts were successful, the rest of them either lost (232) or rage quit the game (386). This is kinda surprising to us, we’re gonna have to make the objective of the battle more clear to try to make sure that no player misses our intention with it.

Legionnaire Fight

538 of all players decided to take on the Legionnaire with only soldier in their team, only 1 person managed to win the fight, though we have no idea how he did it. What an absolute madlad.

The Final Shrike Fight
Out of 1902 people that ran the Shrike fight, 271 of them lost, causing them to start over, 31 of them ragequit, and never finished the fight :(.

Most popular character upgrades

Here’s who upgrades most people chose on each of the characters while leveling up:

Soldier:

• Judge Card

• Executioner Upgrade

• Shielder

• Impact

• Overhead Slam

Seems that people liked to play the Soldier a bit more defensively, a fair choice, BUT RAGE, WE NEED MORE ANGER! 

Scholar:

• WoundCurse Upgrade

• Drawer

• Fireball

• Heal

• Weakening

Fireball wasn't very popular, but it was the strongest card in the game, it could deal some massive, massive damage. Playing the mage as a support and deck manager is also a really good way to play.

Exile:

• Barrage Upgrade

• Expose

• Healing Rain

• Load Upgrade

• Sharpened Arrows

We like to see that, people choosing to upgrade barrage means they understood the value in reloading and topping up your quiver. 

New skill tree visuals

We thought that the skill tree UI looked a little outdated so we gave it some attention and refreshed it:

The Black Wing Legion
We’ve also decided to give you a sneak peak into the visuals of a new enemy faction, The black wing legion:

Wrap upAnother challenging week of work ahead of us, await new updates, follow us on our socials and stay safe. Until then, we’ll see you next week. 

Cheers,
Fardust team

After a long stretch of work, The Majestic is back with major updates across nearly every part of development.

In this devlog, I share new progress on the story, voice acting, and worldbuilding. I discuss some of the systems and tools I’ve been using in Unreal Engine 5 to bring everything to life. I also cover the updated production roadmap, localization plans, and performance goals.

This is my biggest devlog yet and a major step toward release. Thanks to everyone following the journey. Your support, wishlists, and follows truly help keep the project moving forward.

Winter is fast-approaching – are you ready for the cold? One thing I’d recommend for everyone is to stay indoors and enjoy some pixelated gardening of Horticular. You can even enjoy the sight of snowfall early with Frozen Frontier in the warmth of your own home!

Here’s a picture of Dan from Slug Disco's marketing team playing Horticular in cozy blankets and the company of a good boy.

Ignore the blur, though. Definitely not something you should pay attention to. And no, I can’t talk about it, yet. 😳

Recently I’ve been checking out more mods on stream, and I've been really enjoying Tiny Magic by the amazing Anubscorpiak.

This fantasy and RPG-themed mod has a wide variety of colorful biomes, ranging from the spooky graveyard to the whimsical candy land. There are tons of unique items, animals and tiles to experiment with, and you should try it out too!

Thanks for checking in on our October community update. More news about Horticular will be coming soon so make sure to to follow us on our socials!

WISHLIST OUR GAME AND OTHER AWESOME TITLES! HAVE FUN!

Hey Explorers! We’ve just pushed v0.2.26 to Steam. Content creators and testers are hammering on it right now, and these features will land in the November 6 demo build.

Universe UV01 is fully replayable in the demo, now with selectable challenge layers. Pick your colour and stack the pressure, earn more for risking more:

WHITE – Baseline expedition

YELLOW – Extra hazards & micro-events

RED – Hostile twists, harsher penalties

MAGENTA – “Good luck, explorer.” Biggest rewards

You will unlock the new difficulties according to your Rank and Experience.

You’ll now find red-lettered HELP & GUIDE screens around the main HUB and at the Hexeract. They contain the full How to Play manual plus fresh lore notes.

T.O.D.D. is great, but sometimes you need more. Use your Pulse Energyros to ping and highlight all nearby energy-infused objects for easy identification. Once detected, they’ll stay visible in your TACTICAL VISOR so you can come back later. This also applies to Collectibles.

Enable your TACTICAL VISOR in the Hexeract and you'll now see augmented-reality descriptions and hints to guide your next steps. The VISOR is core to gameplay, use it often to uncover evidence and extra context about what you find.

3 days to go and we’re still polishing more quality-of-life tweaks and surprises to make this the expedition of our lives.
