Other bits and pieces coming with the balance update

Simos the Apex will live on as Simos Jr.

 

I think I am going to do Floran this time... But I might go Glitch again as I love when florans say I want to fly on a glitch ship!

 

waiting for someone to finsh the windows launcher
then its out "live"

 

I heard something about pets and either taming or capturing them. Is that happening in this update? Does anyone know?

 

Took about five minutes I'd say. I also bashed it with a fire enhanced hammer when it did its dive downwards. I havent fought any boss after the UFO... right after I beat it I heard about the update and the character wipe. Havent played since. Didnt see the point.

But yeah. I'm nearly certain they fixed the weird difficulty curve the game has. And if not... well then we will complain about it until they tweak it some more.

Have you been silently watching us all talk?

Compiling actually can take a damn long time.

There's quite a lot said about it often, and how one can only just.... watch and wait for it to complete.

 

I was lucky I found some bombs for my 2nd attempt took a few but it was worth it.

 

huh?

 

Changelog for v. Annoyed Koala 12/9/2013

HUGE balance patch, every item, creature, armor and weapon rebalanced. Leveling system entirely rewritten

Although the balance is early the new leveling system, the system is much better than the old one and we can now improve balance over time.

Added early implementation of creature taming (more features coming soon)

Added new mining items

Added new weapons

Added new throwable items

Added grappling hook

Added new boss and new sector of the galaxy

Added a stance system to weaponry, not currently used but will allow us to add secondary attacks to weaponry very soon.

Tons of new sounds

Guns more common in tier 3

Underground detached/rare biomes more common

Underground random encounters more common

Underground chests more common

Ore rebalance (probably way way too much ore at the moment, will be fixed later, enjoy it)

Baby monsters

New monster palettes

Added pixel compressor for high cost banking (idea from Ncrpts)

Disable using the beamaxe to light caves underground

Added new hats

some monsters now graze on grass (can look ugly, needs finishing)

Small bipeds now socialise with eachother

All the monsters behave smarter and are less likely to get stuck

You can no longer attack through blocks

Fix the game on XP (hopefully)

Tons more fixes and smaller additions


Straight from a thread from the steam forums, which was found elsewhere.

 

Need to play, my Avian is depressed knowing he'll be gone soon

 

Eh, nothing dude.

 

Perhaps. But what I'm saying is this actually happened with "Big Publishers.tm" published commercial games, and very much more often than once.

And I'm not talking about the abysmal patch rate of series like the sim, where funding for patches seems to be so limited the players have to do with only a single or two patch per expansion packs. Ever.

A lot of people fail to realizes just how much work and dedication developpers like Chucklefish put into something like this, out of their own time, as opposed to "big publishers games" where the rotations of teams and support funding is such some games are lucky to get any patch at all without talking about the projects that are literally killed post-release because the publishers decided they were too costly to support.

 

I hope they also fix the bug, that you can find platinum ore just in the x sector instead of gamma

 

Fix the game on XP (hopefully)

 

Then shall thy count to three,
No more... no less.

Three shall be the number thy shall count,
and the number of the counting shall be three.

four shall thy not count, neither count thy two excepting that thy then proceed to three

 

Babys are added and you can tame them, but no evolution so far like it seems. And thanks for the changelog
