Halloween Update[ | ]
The pre-alpha update was released on the 31th October 2015.
Highlights[ | ]
- Halloween Stuff: a bunch of new items, objects, plants and a ghost pet. See the changes below for more details.
- Halloween Scenario: basically the challenge scenario, but it starts in Autumn and has a maximal chance and difficulty relating the attack of the pumpkins.
- Playground Scenario: a moddable scenario file (just make changes to the "scenario_playground.xml" file in "./orcish_inn_0_0_17/Content/scenarios/").
- Temporary Sickness Changes: the current sickness system will be replaced in the future and to make it less strong now, the "overworked" effect can only stack once and can be removed with medicine bought from the Hawker, which is far less expensive.
- Placing Furniture Items: items like the new pumpkin lanterns (or the old celestial mirrors) can be directly placed as furniture by right-clicking on the item in the inventory.
