v1.0.30 - "Look Further" mode

 

v1.0.30 patch notes (new feature!)

 

Thanks to everyone's who's been playing A Highland Song, leaving reviews, and sending us feedback here and via our Discord server. One theme that's been coming through is needing a bit context sometimes - to see where you are in the current level, and plan which way you want to go.

 

While this is a game about getting lost it's not a game about doing the same thing over and over again (hence new game plus being all about going a different way!) so we've added a new feature to help: "Look further."

 

To use this feature, zoom out the camera as normal. Then if you hold it out there for a second, you'll get a prompt to activate "look further" mode. This will pull the camera a little further back and also allow you to move it around, so you can take in the surrounding area and plan your route.

 

(We also reduce the fog effects a bit so it's easier to see.) Note you can't use this mode inside caves: Moira will still have to feel her way through the dark.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Other minor tweaks:

 

More confirmation when you position a map marker; Moira will remark on what she expects to find if she goes there

Minor dialogue and text fixes

Opened up a couple of minor dead-ends to improve exploration

 

 

Thanks again for playing, and please let us know if you have any issues with this update.
