Thy Ordinary Update is Here

Greetings Novices!

Today I'm pushing build 1.0.3.3 which brings a few fixes, quality of life updates and general improvements to the game. All of these have been in testing in the beta branch for a little while, and most are based on requests from players in discord or elsewhere.

If you're interested to help me progress the game, you can always join the discord channel and take the beta role where I'm testing new things from time to time. Or just drop by to chat!

I'll talk about a few of the key things below.

Pixel shader toggle

There were a few people not into the pixelation filter of the game, so I added an option to toggle this. Personally I like the gritty nature of this look, but I can understand some prefer not to have it. Existing players should open their graphics options to apply the new setting.

Offline mode

Something you also asked for, you can now play in Steam Offline mode.

Cursor freed

In windowed mode your cursor can escape the window when in menus.

Store bigger things

You can now store buckets and ladders in your hotbar. Just to make it a bit easier to fight fires and arrange ladders.

Fixes

Also several bug fixes that should fix the occasional book losses through colliders and other issues.

Here's the full change log (comprising all changes since 1.0.2.5)

Build 1.0.3.3.

-Can play in Steam Offline mode
