While the ghouls and goblins have been playing the streets, we've been deep in the code mines, hacking away at numbers and variables until they made some delicious gaming magic! Or at least a fun way to spend an afternoon.
----------------------------
UPDATE: New quick fix version 0.3.1 is out - use these files instead of the old links:
Download Links: PC | Mac | Android
One thing that has become clear is that old saves (from version 0.2) can cause issues with the game, so if you're coming from 0.2 we highly recommend starting a new game. (We put in a 'skip the intro' button to help facilitate a faster re-start of the game)
Bug fixes:
Fixed issue with pirates not leaving after being kracked
Fixed problem where crew could not be selected upon leaving port
Fixed problem where system may crash by mistakenly looking for pirates to Max Krack
Fixed missing sfx when pirates leave.
Thanks to everyone who let us know of the existing issues - please let us know if you're still facing issues with the new version!
-------------------------------
A mere one month after the release of Ample Chests 0.2 - we asked you, the patrons what you wanted to see in the next iteration. After some pretty resounding poll results we have crafted the next step in fleshing out this game from the skeleton we constructed last month.
We highly recommend players start a new game to enjoy all the new content that has been added. We included a skip button for the intro to get you into the game proper ASAP for this reason. As always with new release there may be bugs, so let us know any problems you have in the comments, DM or over on Discord.
The new content includes (but is not limited to):
Three new crew! Each with their own staged transformation journey.
Capturable pirates! Now with the right tools, a pirate encounter could lead to more tactics, surprise transformations, or just some cold hard cash.
A new feature - Max Kracked, wherein the crew find themselves caught in a wave of idol magic so powerful they'll grow bigger than ever before with special animations!
Over 80 new animations
Over 500 new lines of dialogue
A new currency, found only by Max Kracking your crew!
New locations - the Den of Depravity, and the Brig!
New interactable character "Mysterious Stranger!"
A new powerup - the net! (How else would you catch pirates?)
A new travel hazard - the storm!
Reworking of the difficulty of the pirate encounters to make plank use more important
Reworking of many of the menu UI elements
New sfx and music tracks
Skip button to avoid the tutorial
And more!
With October coming to a close, I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who as a patron this month - and double thanks to everyone who voted in the polls. They gave the us direction that became the basis to what Ample Chests 0.3 ended up becoming!
The current plan for November is a new standalone animation - we'll let you know as the pieces fall into place!
