addedWe've got another small update for you guys today. This one is focused on fixing bugs to do with the totems, as they were causing significant issues with AI navigation. However, we've also added a new feature that should make exploring and looting much easier.
addedYour Hunter Sense has been almost completely overhauled. On top of using it to find animal/cryptid tracks, you can now also use it to find interactable objects! Now it should be significantly easier to distinguish between environment props and items you can pick up. In order to balance this change, we've given Hunter Senses a much shorter range, massively decreased how much the player can hear, and darkened the environment when using Hunter Senses.
changedThis is something we've been thinking about implementing for a long time, so let us know what you think. The system isn't fully implemented as of yet, so it will be fine-tuned as updates progress.
addedWhat we've been working on...We'd also like to finally announce what we've been working on for the last few months, that being the progression system! We're almost ready to release it in update 0.9, and we can't wait for you guys to have fun with it. Included in 0.9 will be several randomised levels (random cryptid locations, loot, player spawns and more) in entirely new layouts in the styles of Night of the Wendigo and Bloodfang Forest. There will also be an entirely new area: the Hunter Fortress, which will act as your home base and lobby for multiplayer games.
addedWhat we've been working on...There's much more we want to talk about that we'll be adding to Folklore Hunter in the progression update. We'll be making an announcement on steam talking about it in full soon, so watch out for that.
