Patch 0.3.10

Wanderboots
A downloadable game for Windows

Patch 0.3.10 is here! This patch was largely focused on fixing bugs and adding some QoL improvements, as well as expanding the main story a bit further. This includes the Outposts questline being complete and more things to do around the Stonehaven Castle.

There’s also some massive improvements to the sailing experience, since you now can upgrade your ship speed, hull integrity and turning radius at shipyards.

I hope you enjoy it! And now, on to your regularly scheduled patch notes:

Known Issues

  • The buttons to sort the item list have been temporarily disabled due to them crashing the game under certain circumstances. Functionality will be restored once I figure out how to fix it.
  • Some sprites may be misaligned.

Added

World

  • Bartender to “The Sleeping Cat” in Nagana, who also serves some drinks.
  • Footprint effects when walking on snow and sand, as well as enabling the Footprints toggle in game options.

Systems

  • Ship statistics to the Fiks Ship Shop, letting you know how well a new ship will perform. Also added text displaying the default weapon loadout, if there is any.
  • Ship Customizer upgrades! Now you can upgrade your ship hull, rudder and rigging quality to make it more sea-worthy. Use planks to upgrade the hull and rudder, and metals for the rigging.
  • Choose whether to use a key or a lockpick when unlocking a door if you have both the key and a lockpick. 

Interface

  • Ship information to the Character screen. Click the new button with a sail on it to see a quick overview of your ship status, such as hull integrity, equipped cannons and your current sail.
  • Warning message when exiting a trading window with items in the shopping cart, asking if you really want to exit without buying anything.
