Patch notes for 13th Dec 2024
Quality of life improvements
• Add 'drop all' action to backpack item menu.
• Add checkbox to select/deselect all items in the sell-all tab of the shop interface.
• Allow ventures to be aborted directly from the venture interface. I.e you no longer need to walk back to the venture spot, if all you want to do is abort.
• Make it so the 'default action' for some specific blocks/npcs is to open the menu rather than do the first action on the menu. This is used if there is more than 1 action you are likely to want. For example on banks you often want 'Open', but also often want 'Deposit all'.
Bug fixes
• Improve layout of transmog interface.
• Change the facial hair clues in detective investigations to be more distinct.
• Fix bug where leaderboards did not update your score unless your rank changed!
• Fix bug where new characters could not chat during their first session (i.e. until they logged out and logged back in).
• Fix bug where occasionally rooms lost most of their textures until they were reloaded.
• Fix various typos.
Christmas 2024 Event
Christmas has arrived in Brighter Shores! Christmas themed hats in a variety of styles and colors will be given to you randomly as you play the game and earn XP. There are 20 different hats to collect.
To make it a easier to find the hat you want, or complete your collection, you can swap Christmas hats with other players. Click on a player in 'Nearby Players' to offer to swap the hat you are wearing with the hat they are wearing.
This event will end in early January, after which it will never be possible to collect these hats again, so you can use them to prove you were there for the first ever Brighter Shores Christmas.
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.
