Spirit of the North 2 Announces Major Update with Enhanced Features and Bug Fixes
The development team behind the critically acclaimed game, 'Spirit of the North,' is thrilled to announce a significant update for its sequel, 'Spirit of the North 2.' This update, labeled as Hotfix #5, brings a host of improvements, new features, and bug fixes to enhance players' gaming experience.
Set in an ancient and mysterious world, 'Spirit of the North 2' continues the adventure of an isolated fox with its loyal raven companion on a quest to restore lost guardians and find their way home. With this update, players can expect even more depth and accessibility within the game.
Key Highlights:
- **Increased Procedurally Clams Spawn Rate:** Players will now encounter clams more frequently in sandy and gravel areas near oceans. While clam crystals (pearls) are worth less than before, digging up clams offers a small chance to discover buried chests, adding an exciting layer of exploration.
- **Map Fog Removal:** Once all obelisks are unlocked, the map fog will be completely removed, providing players with a clearer view of their surroundings and enhancing navigation.
- **Camera Shake Slider for Accessibility:** A new accessibility option allows players to adjust the intensity of camera shake, including setting it to 0, making the game more inclusive for all players.
- **Red Fox Classic Skin Unveiled:** Completing a small puzzle within the game unlocks the Red Fox Classic character skin, offering players an additional way to personalize their fox companion.
- **White Raven Optimization:** The White Raven in player homes has been optimized with animation ticks paused when out of range, ensuring smoother gameplay and resource management.
- **New Scroll Category:** A new scroll category has been introduced for scrolls not belonging to any major tribe, setting the stage for future updates and expanding the lore of the game.
- **Tooltip Widget and UI Enhancements:** The tooltip widget has been optimized, along with various other UI improvements, enhancing overall user experience.
- **Bug Fixes:** Several bugs have been addressed, including fixes related to the Portal Menu UI hover effect, misaligned props and foliage, and crashes when hiding pins on the map. Additionally, SaveAFox exclusive skins are now audited and removed if the player does not own this DLC. The Target Jump bug has also been fixed, preventing camera clipping through walls and floors.
- **F11 Behavior Change:** The F11 behavior has been updated to prevent cursor offset issues, with the announcement panel on the main menu now capable of displaying multiple images in a gallery. The Rollback Save feature has also been improved by closing modules when executed, ensuring smoother performance.
