Swords & Crossbones: An Epic Pirate Story
Last weeks release notes
we made some small changes last week, but forgot to add the change notes.
Here they are:
There was an error with one of the buildings, it never unlocked after the mission was successful. This issue is fixed - not only for new games - but also for all the old games. Load your game and you automatically will have the building unlocked.
A fix was made, that the win conditions in vs beats battles can be not only by killing them but also by capturing them.
Added shortkeys for skills in battles, you can now freely chose your keystroke from 1-9 to be bound to the chosen skill.
Small improvements
Battle animations can be speed up now. This should speed up not only automated fights but also manual battles.
You are free and welcome to give us more hints at what to improve and what you dislike.
This weeks fixes
- Fixed a possible case of the game getting stuck by leaving some pirates on other islands.
- Lots of minor UI fixes to fit item names and other kinds of texts.
- Changed some sounds and the in-game background music a bit.
- Made the quest window be opened with 'Q', instead of 'S', as that was awkward.
- Made some of the battles early in the game give some amount of Rusty iron as a reward, so that crafting some basic items can be possible earlier.
Thursday changes:
- Updated the in-game menu design.
- Made the battle map center in the view on entering the battle scene, and then move to the player positions.
- Minor UI fixes.
