Update 0.9.2.0 - Exploration Quests, Buried Treasure and Audio Update!
1M Bits Horde
Greetings, survivors!
This update is all about rewarding your curiosity: dig up buried treasure, take on new exploration quests and test your agility in platforming challenges. We have also brought the world to life with a big audio update - new music, enemy conversations, bustling village sounds and much more.
New Features & Exploration
- We have added a brand new quest type spread across both islands: exploration quests. Each one comes with its own objectives, map markers, dialogue and rewards for you to discover.
- Grab a shovel! You can now dig up buried chests hidden across both islands to find new and rare resources.
- Test your agility in new jumping challenges on both islands. Make it to the end, and secret treasures are yours.
- New destructible gates and barriers now block your path around the islands. Always carry an axe or a pickaxe with you to break through them!
Crafting & Base Building
- Some of your buildings now feature an Advanced Crafting Station. Put the rare resources you find out in the world to use here and craft new, powerful items.
- The blacksmith furnace got new visual effects and fixed lighting, so it looks much better in your village.
Immersion & Audio
- The world sounds better than ever. We have added new music for the Town of Vardi, the Silent Forest, raids and the tavern, along with dedicated night ambience for both islands.
- Hostile NPCs now chat with each other about the world and various other subjects while they patrol or hang around their camps. Feel free to eavesdrop - just don't get caught.
- Your settlement now sounds like a real community! Village ambience gets livelier once you have 10 or more villagers.
- Villagers and crafting stations are now noticeably more audible. You will hear distinct sounds when your villagers are hard at work and when you interact with the stations.
- Added dedicated sound effects for chests, storages, the trader, the wash tub and tavern doors.
- Upgrading your backpack and salvaging items now have their own UI sounds.
Gameplay & Quality of Life
- Falling in combat is now a full cinematic sequence: a slow-motion collapse, dedicated death music, a fade-in message and a hidden HUD. If you have to die in Norovellir, at least do it in style.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a multiplayer bug where client players were seeing the wrong crafting times.
- Fixed blood splatter from a stealth kill sometimes appearing on other players' screens in multiplayer.
Update the game, go treasure hunting and tell us what you think!
Stay safe!
