Din's Champion early access month 4

[Shadow]

Din's Champion is 20% off this week (02/10-02/17) on Steam!

Din's Champion has now been in early access for over 4 months and is currently available on Steam.

As of this post, we've released 17 patches with 735 total changes, which can be read here. This consists of a ton of small fixes and balance changes, but there have been a bunch of larger changes.


QOL: There have been lots of quality of life changes like smart mining, stack to all nearby chests button, crafting list sorting/filtering, easier to move windows around, a torch hotkey, and a surrender area option.

Better NPCs: You can now choose which house an NPC lives in, NPCs have more to talk about, married NPCs now live inside the same house, and there have been many UI changes to make working with NPCs easier.

More newbie friendly: There is now a very quick tutorial that helps new players learn the basics, the starting area is much safer, and way more things are phased in as you get to higher levels so it is not so overwhelming for new players (NPC fighting, dangerous liquids, dangerous gases, ambushes, monster enhancements, exploding objects, traps, world/level modifiers, etc).

New items: Many new items have been added like vials (can pickup liquids), decorations (paintings and banners), and 60+ new unique items.

Optimizations: FPS, memory usage, and network usage have been optimized better. Also many hitches have been tracked down and eliminated.

New item modifiers: Many new item modifiers have been added to give players more control over the environment and how they move, things like Water Breathing, Environmental Lava Protection, Coyote Time, Wall Climb, Water Walking, and many more.

Controller support: Controllers are now supported for those that prefer them over mouse/keyboard.


That's it for all of the major new changes, but there are still a lot of changes coming.

As always comments are welcome!
