Update: A Vision from the Ale Gods!

Greetings, fellow patrons!

The team here at the development tavern has been brewing up a fresh batch of updates for Olaf the Boozer, all designed to make your hangover slightly more manageable. We've heard your feedback and, with a little help from the Ale Gods, we’ve made some much-needed quality-of-life improvements.

Here’s what’s new in this patch:

1. The "Ale God" Hint System"'Suddenly, these glowing arrows appeared, showing me exactly where I could pull a barrel!'"

Just as Olaf was granted a vision, so are you! You'll now see glowing arrows indicating which directions a barrel or other object can be pulled from your current position. No more wasting your strength wrestling with scenery when you could be searching for... well, whatever it is you're searching for.

2. Dynamic Button Hints 🎮 "Wait, was it this button or... oh, who am I kidding, I'll just use my shoulder."

Olaf can't always remember which button does what (can any of us, really?). To help his groggy brain, the UI now displays dynamic button hints for key actions. Best of all, they update automatically whether you're using a keyboard or a controller, so you'll always know the right input without fumbling.

3. Settings on the Main Menu ⚙️ "I need to turn the music down before my head splits in two."

Sometimes you need to adjust the settings before the adventure begins. We've made the Settings menu directly accessible from the Main Menu, so you can now tweak your audio and language preferences before jumping back into last night's haze.

Other Minor Fixes:

  • Polished some dwarven grammar in the dialogue.
  • Smoothed out barrles movement. We can't have any wasted ale!

We hope these changes make Olaf's morning-after tribulations a bit smoother for everyone. Your feedback is our strongest brew, so please let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord!

Until next time, drink responsibly and may all your barrels be easy to pull!

Cheers, The Dev (and a slightly less confused Olaf) 🍺
