Life just got a little bit nicer in Gemea...
This update addresses some remaining game flow issues, expands player inventories, fixes a number of bugs, and paves the way for more juicy content updates in the near future.
p.s. That sort button is mighty handy...
Major changes....
IMPROVEMENT: increased default backpack size by 1.6x -- it now fits 90 stacks of items
IMPROVEMENT: increased storage chest size by 2x -- it's now a whopping 800 stacks
IMPROVEMENT: added a gamma slider in the visual menu.
IMPROVEMENT: added an auto-sort button for backpack and storage chest inventories.
IMPROVEMENT: added detection of minimum required hardware and an error box to the start of the game. This is nicer than a random crash or obscure bugs, and gives some helpful information.
IMPROVEMENT: logged system information to help with future debugging of issues.
BALANCE: A number of smaller balancing tweaks to level out some tasks.
FIX: fixed quest board NPC info not being regenerated correctly after loading.
FIX: game darkens after using compass (plus some other rarer conditions).
FIX: fixed known areas in the world with bad ground collision.
FIX: resolved blocker bug behind Interlade chest.
FIX: Woodrow now disappears properly after collecting him. Cheeky little sprite!
FIX: a few materials were not working with the global illumination rendering system.
FIX: fishing collection trophy now checks when you trade for fish.
FIX: fixed collision atop of cave near grasslands farm. Hid a new chest there too for the trouble ;)
FIX: checking for necessary backpack space to fit reward items in Kozi quest line and Find the Crew quest.
Update 3
Hi all,
We've just gone live with update #3. This patch resolves some remaining issues, and also improves certain balance points to improve the game flow!
Major changes:
- BALANCE: mortar, glue, and nail trade balance - These have been increased in base quantity and some extras peppered throughout different traders.
- BALANCE: new secondary base tier recipes - water, rivets, nails, glue, mortar, habedashery; These have been added to their respective guild lists.
- BALANCE: starter farm now gifts you with a Gardening Plot and a Tree Plot to help accelerate farming in the game.
- BALANCE: economy events nerfed to address the ease of trading vs crafting.
- BALANCE: Heartwood trade a little rarer to prevent insta-completion of quest.
- BALANCE/FIX: Added surplus cats to the world! You'll now be able to find more cats than necessary to finish the quest, and have some to spare :)
- FIX: Prevent farms from getting odd placement/overlapping items and resources (will also attempt to fix farms already in this state)
- FIX: Adopted critters return to their pens if they wander too far away, or are visually missing.
- FIX: Mian sprite not disappearing after collection
- FIX: Updated German string for controllers menu item
- FIX: Updated Kari's hint about what Fluffcubs eat.
- FIX: some npc's falling through the ground or getting embedded in the ground(!)
- FIX: blocker in Hearthwind Vale near farm
- FIX: Fish collection trophy triggers only after you catch another fish
- FIX: Crash - when hitting exit button twice on player storage chests
- FIX: Player got stuck when when placing two plant boxes side by side
- FIX: Trading out old kingdom coins, they're still spent when bag is full and trade wasn't possible
- FIX: can lose hat if inventory full and unequipping
- FIX: cleaned up the back of the observatory -- was NEARLY blocking collision
- FIX: filter on farm chest isn't working
- FIX: visuals menu requests restart without changing settings
- FIX: Cleaned up some collision in Radiant Sands
- FIX: changed how the Great Beard-Off quest triggers to avoid issue where player couldn't progress

Update 1
We've had a *lot* of people exploring Gemea, and inevitably we've found our share of bugs! So without further ado, here's Update 1
Major changes:
- added cloud saves
- integrated xinput; this should help a lot of controllers that weren't previously working. We expect there's still going to be some that aren't playing nicely though, and we'll need to create custom profiles for those.
- Fix for black box (mouse cursor) in the center of the screen.
- Cleaned up shader compatability -- this will likely affect anyone having visual/rendering issues.
- Fixed all known collision blockers
- Increased web interaction radius; solves hard-to-remove webs!
- Fixed duplicating farm object issue
PINK/BLACK SCREEN? Here's how to solve it...
