Difference between revisions of "Valley 2:Pre-Beta Release Notes"

Revision as of 20:16, 14 December 2012

We haven't released this version yet, we're still working on it.

Fixed an image file that was throwing up errors.
- Thanks to Misery for sending in the debug log that allowed us to track this one down.

The "What's New" link on the main menu now actually links to the appropriate place.

We managed to waste 18 man-hours chasing Unity 4.0 support (and thus Linux support), but ran into intractable performance problems with load times. Sigh.

Fixed a bug with the notes-to-self popup coming up about the first windstorm generator even at the end of purified regions. Oops. ;)

The campfire spell now has very little attack power and a much longer cooldown, making it useful as a defensive blocker spell as opposed to a torch-everything attack spell.
LightRocket hits for about half what it once did.
- Thanks to several of our alpha players for letting us know how badly these needed changing.

Clinging Nettles has been nerfed some.
- There were several reports of this, thanks to everyone who mentioned it.

 * The "What's New" link on the main menu now actually links to the appropriate place.
-* Now that we know everything was running sane on a couple of dozen computers in Unity 3.3 (which is what AI War and AVWW1 run), we've made the jump to Unity 4.0 for Valley2.  Let us know if you see any strangeness!  But this paves the way for some various features, including eventual Linux support.

-* There were a couple of issues in Unity 4 relating to streaming images off disk, and we've had to put in hours and hours of work to try and work around that, unfortunately.
 * The default gamepad controls are actually now sane.
