HOTFIX 0.6.1.3

6/28/2016

Hi friends!

This patch is designed to quickly fix some of the crashes I’ve been seeing in Vidar from current testers. It also includes a lot of work done on a handful of quests to make sure progress isn’t blocked on any of them, and a few updated location trees.

These hotfixes are likely to keep coming this quickly as crashes are detected. Hopefully once those trickle off, more meaty patches fixing a lot of other non-progress-blocking bugs can follow.

ALPHA 2 - STABILITY

6/26/2016

1 Comment

Hi friends!

This week was all about stability bugs – bugs that crashed the game, or blocked progress in the game. Don’t worry, low hanging fruit was harvested as well. We’ll be getting 10 more testers involved on Alpha Build 0.6.1 as part of the slow roll-out:)

Alpha Build 0.6.1

Quest

Failure conditions have been updated for “Artifacts in Ice,” “Sketched Out,” “Bring Him Home,” “Light in the Dark,” “Threnody,” “To Feed a Village,” “Studies,” “Not a Thief,” “Man’s Best Friend,” “Boy’s Best Friend,” “War Never Changes,” “Smoke Them Out,” “Den of Darkness,” “Historic Preservation,” “Rewriting History,” “Further Investigation,” “Hunting Party,” “Crumble,” and “A Little Something.”

The Second Son

Fixed a series of bugs related to the completion of “The Second Son”
Erik will correctly leave the tool UI after completing his puzzle
Fixed some parts of Sandor’s dialogue that didn’t quite make sense

Dr. Spore

Gusztav now correctly gives this quest on day 2
Gusztav’s reminder no longer crashes the game
Completing the quest no longer crashes the game
Gusztav will now remove 1 from each mushroom, then cycle back to make up the difference, on completion (rather than taking all from one kind of mushroom first)
Gusztav will now trade Ivory Funnel mushrooms for Bread after completion of this quest
Picking up mushrooms will now trigger and update the journal appropriately

Spirit Walk

Fixed a slew of bugs related to Piri’s dialogue in “Spirit Walk”; Piri now knows if you’ve seen a ghost already in the cave, and knows when she’s given you the blessing for the day
Fixed journal animations

Faith in the Dead

Fixed how the journal treats “Faith in in the Dead”s various objectives; added a variable to track how many graves are left
Borbalo now gives you the Ice Cave Waypoint as a reward for “Faith in the Dead”
Fixed journal animations
Updated Borbalo’s text if he gives you this quest while in the Church

Love Letter

Cecilia gives you the letter for “Love Letter,” and the letter is properly removed from your inventory when completing the quest
Cecilia properly rewards you at the end of the quest

To Feed a Village

Fixed a bug where receiving “To Feed a Village” would crash the game
Tamas won’t give you this quest until Day 7 now; it felt too early

Hair of the Dog

“A Little Something” is now a prerequisite to this quest
Dani no longer crashes the game when giving the quest
Dani will give you a Campfire on completion if you already have the Flint & Steel

Light in the Dark

Robert correctly updates your journal when he gives you this quest
Robert now asks for the bright flower rather than just taking it

Dialogue

Adjoran, Geraint, Matti, and Vid’s dialogue is now correctly displayed
Fixed various typos in the dialogue trees; corrected some text that no longer applied
Fixed a bug where NPCs were not correctly identifying the building they were in

Map

Fixed a passage issue in the hospital
It is no longer possible to get trapped in the streetlight in Northeast Vidar

Piri
Decreased the charity value of the journal
Removed the hideous attempt to show “bumpers” on the tool icon window

Fixed a bug related to the calculation of how many mushrooms you had in inventory; this bug also prevented the identification of mushrooms by all townspeople

Replaced the lanterns in the Dark Cave waypoint with torches

Hi friends!

In anticipation of alpha, this week saw a lot of clean-up on “game-breaking” bugs, those that would prevent you advancing the game during the alpha. This is the last pre-alpha build, next week we’ll move straight into the alpha!

This version (0.5.9) was pushed to Steam over the weekend, so if you happen to be one of the lucky few that already have a key, you can test it out.

Rebeka’s dialogue now correctly takes into account when Janika is dead
Gusztav, Robert and Tamas now properly identify mushrooms
Robert now won’t give the player “Light in the Dark” until day 3 at the earliest

Hi friends! This week looks like small notes, but it’s huge: all of the dialogue is in the game. Still a lot of polish needed, and plenty of bugs should be expected, but it’s there! It’s all there! Next week will be cleaning off the quest data; the following will be focused on the cutscenes. And then, finally, at long long last, alpha. Stay tuned!

DEVELOPER’S BUILD 0.5.8

Added back room of church
Added interior of Hospital, Piri's House, and Groa's House
All villagers now spawn in Vidar
All villagers now have their dialogue in the game
