Dev Notes

V0.51 Posted on 14 December, 2016 by Anna

Hey everyone,

For this patch we focused on opening up the door at the bottom of the sinkhole cave. The door is locked and you’ll need to find the keycard in order to get inside.

Additionally, some new story items have been placed around the world, particularly in locations where you can find red paint.

Our plan was to originally have the door be openable only once the game was fully complete however the feedback and help we’ve gotten from the community has been invaluable throughout the development of the game and so we wanted to have everyone involved in this part of the process also. Keep in mind, you should expect some bugs and possibly other issues, and may prefer to wait for a final release to play this part of the game.

Note: You can’t currently save in areas past the door.

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub

• Fixed flintlock part 8 not showing inventory tooltip

• Fixed entering caves through rope entrance sometimes bringing player back up in world
• Added fail safe to hopefully fix sled sometimes staying mounted to player doing something else
• Fixed a specific case of water triggers not processed in the right order causing player to visible warp out of water for a couple frames
• Changed default distance from player for ghost rabbit cage, water collector, weapon rack, stick marker, bench
• (Multiplayer) Fixed exploded rocks in caves not properly synced with late joining clients and being stuck not exploded
• Fixed molotov sometimes getting stuck non ignitable for a few seconds if trying to light it too fast after equipping it
