V0.9996 #7: A smoother first 10 minutes on a new island
A new island now starts in the morning sun. The Mentor hands you your first Tent Kit as a real welcome gift, the game tells you where to go next, and Burrows explains the tent right after you step outside, standing where you can see him.
Your first minutes
- A new island starts on the first morning at 9:00, so the arrival flyover and your first steps are in daylight. Before, the first day started at midnight.
- The Mentor gives you your first Tent Kit with a welcome gift card. Before, it was put in your Backpack without a word during the flyover, so the gift never showed.
- In the Office you stand a step to the side, so you can see the Mentor while he welcomes you. He looks at you while he talks, and he no longer drops onto the floor as the Office fades in.
- His dialogue box says MENTOR (it said GUIDE, but he calls himself the Mentor). His gift pages and the gift card use the game font.
- After the gift, a short hint tells you where to go next: outside, through the door behind you.
Burrows and your tent
- Fixed: Burrows' help with the Tent Kit often never started after you left the Office. It now always starts the first time you step outside.
- Burrows waits until the island has finished loading. His help could open behind the loading screen and then be gone.
- He stops beside you, so your own character no longer hides him while he talks.
- When you step out of the Office, the camera no longer starts squeezed against the Office wall.
Languages
- The new hint is in all 19 languages, and Burrows' welcome reads more naturally in German.
