Above Snakes Prologue 1.1 Patch Notes – May 22, 2023
New Features
- Instead of a textual introduction to the story, you will see an animated and fully voiced intro cinematic when starting a new journey.
- Sprinting & Stamina: You can now sprint for a short time (Shift key). Sprinting will consume stamina which regenerates over time. Dodge rolls (Space key) also consume stamina now. You can level your stamina with a skill to sprint for longer.
- Added Playstation 5 Dualsense Controller support.
Changed Mechanics
- Changed that axe and pickaxe are created from twigs and logs. You now need flints and hard antler (alongside other resources) to create your first tools (so we did some changes to the Jo Ann quest line). This should give a more realistic feeling of survival.
- Lake water spots can not “dry out”. Instead, they provide Dirty Water. Scooping water will increase fatigue. Dirty Water can be boiled to Clean Water at campfires.
- Campfires created by NPCs now provide warmth.
- Healthy Buff (all needs above 50%) regenerates health instead of providing additional movement speed.
- When removing the cottage, the sawmill and Jo Ann’s house, you will receive some resources (as stated by Jo Ann).
- Destroying structures with the hammer returns (some) resources and not the whole item.
- You will always respawn at the last bed you slept in.
- You can also sleep in Hunter’s Rest in other beds now.
Quality of Life Improvements
- Inputs on Steam Deck automatically triggers Virtual Keyboard.
- You can now choose your button icons when using controllers (Xbox, PS, Nintendo).
- Added an inverted camera option.
- Changed 3d model of cartography table to look less like the Workbench.
- While looking at the map, you can still see how many world pieces are available.
- Workbench crafting menu is now integrated into the Backpack UI.
- When receiving a buff or debuff, a text is shown.
- New building item: Log Steps to make it easier to step on foundations.
- Added UI scaling and optimized screen resolution when running on Steam Deck.
Performance Improvements
- Overall big improvements to Memory and GPU consumption. Memory consumption is reduced by roughly 50%.
- We also added an FPS limiter that can limit the FPS to 30, 60, or 120.
Fixes
- We generally fixed a lot of small bugs and the overall feeling of the game should feel better and more polished.
- Looted crates and barrels do not reset their loot when reloading the game.
Localization
- All translations have been reworked and should have improved significantly.
- Added support for Polish, Spanish (Latin America), Chinese (Traditional)
