Patch 0.2.10

Hello! I hope you all have been doing alright during this crazy year.

First I'd like to apologize for the slow progress on Tale of Toast. I have not been able to spend any time since the last update in April to work on the game until now.

Over the past month I have started working on an experimental build of the game that will completely change combat and various other features, hopefully for the better. It's still a ways away from being a fully functioning version of Toast, but progress on it is going ok for now. I feel that the game could be a lot more fun with this new combat style, and I hope to make improvements on the existing features that are going to remain in the game.

If you would like to try the new version as I work on it, head over to our Discord server for more information (link at the bottom).

Anyway, here's a very small update that fixes a crafting issue and adds a simple change to dual-wielding weapons. Enjoy and stay safe!

Changes

  • General
    • When skipping quest dialogue, the chat box is now filled with the remaining text from the conversation.
    • The City Invasion event is now disabled.
    • Off-hand weapons now attack independently from the main-hand, so dual wielding weapons is now more effective.


Fixes

  • General
    • Crafting an item using Magic Crystals in both slots should now produce the correct result

Patch 0.2.7 - Blockchain Integration, Player Rewards and Limited Edition Pet

We have started looking into how Blockchain technology can be utilized in Tale of Toast, and as a way to do offer our players some direct advantages we have collaborated with High Performance Blockchain.
High Performance Blockchain has kindly provided Tale of Toast with more than 30 000 HPB (a cryptocurrency) that players can earn in-game by doing the following:

  • Killing Enemies (10% chance to get 0.01 - 0.02 HPB)
  • Gathering Materials (10% chance to get 0.01 - 0.02 HPB)
  • Looting Chests (100% chance to get 0.1 - 0.25 HPB)
  • Killing Bosses (100% chance to get 0.1 - 1 HPB)


This means that by simply playing the game, you are able to obtain cryptocurrency. These coins can then be used as payment for Crumbs, kept or traded on Exchanges against other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Moving forward we plan to utilize their Hardware Random Number Generator functionality, to for example ensure fully fair loot that players can verify.
We are also planning to add "HRC-721 tokens" used for in-game collectibles, along with new use cases for HPB in-game such as players using HPB coins to take part in races and other competitions where the winner receives the pot.

To see some of the current integrations, check out this video:
[previewyoutube="uWXTUYW2sYI;full"]

There is also a limited edition Pet available for the coming four weeks for all players. To obtain it all you need to do is have a word with Hurder in Brightwyn, near the campfire.
The pet is tradable, and you will not drop it on death even if you have PvP enabled.
