Patch notes for 20th Nov 2024

Quality of life improvements

• Make Hopeport hairdresser able to change your entire appearance (not just your hair). I know this doesn't thematically make sense, but its^[sic] the quickest way to get this feature in to the game :)
• Change bone spikes to require, and be boosted by, hand rakes (matching the animation).
• Show damage numbers when watching other players doing combat.
• Make 'use item' the default action on the reagent preparation station.

Graphics improvements

• Tweak combat flinch outlines a little more.

Bug fixes

• Fix various typos.
• Fix brown cow leather offcuts to show the correct graphic.
• Use correct icon for grade 2 sickle.
• Fix Daguer to tell you the correct level requirement for the first cape.
• Fix incorrect "Not enough backpack space" message when equipping potions.
• Bug fixses to 'cast net' fish, they no longer vanish or appear incorrectly when other players are using them.
• Fix passive combat to show damage number, flicnh outlines, and not hide other players in the same room.

Early Access

Brighter Shores is currently in 'early access'. This means a few core features aren't ready yet, and there are probably still some bugs!

Please send any bug reports to [email protected]

There are some very important features we want to finish ASAP, and before we consider the game to no longer be in 'early access'. These include:
• Player vs player combat (PvP).
• Player to player trading.
• Combat improvements, including special attacks on epic weapons to make the different factions more distinct.
• Episode 5 - Stonemaw Hill.
• Leaderboards.
• Additional (higher level) quests.
• Party system.

There will NOT be a save reset at the end of early access.

+• Fix various typos.<br>
-We are only a small indie team (we have never had more than 8 employees). I didn't want to involve external investors or publishers, as this is very much a 'passion project' for me. I made it purely because I love making games.

-My team and I have poured years of hard work in to making this game, and I think we have managed to produce something which compares well with the products of much larger developers. I am incredibly proud of what we have created, so I really hope you enjoy it.
+Brighter Shores is currently in 'early access'. This means a few core features aren't ready yet, and there are probably still some bugs!
-I wasn't planning on doing an early access launch originally either, but I have been wanting to share what we are creating for years now, and it reached the point where I just couldn't stand waiting any longer! Hopefully there aren't too many rough edges. Expect it to improve rapidly over the coming months as we continue to work on it.</div>
