Update Released : Evolve Meditation & Other Significant Improvements

Hello Friends,

In this update, I've made some significant improvements 'under the hood'. There are also some new features and a lot of bug fixes/improvements. Here is a summary:

New features

• Meditate anywhere in the Evolve map itself
• Significant performance boost for Evolve mode
• Evolve is now out of Alpha
• New simple quest system (useful for new players)
• Invert mouse via settings

Improvements

• New level-up dialogue: swish!
• Cleaner meditation menu
• Crosshair should now be more visible
• Default meditation is now the campfire view (not emptiness)
• It should be clearer when you are doing warm-up breath exercises
• The default bell should be even quieter

Gameplay Optimisations:

• Quite a lot of under the hood tweaks and improvements. Let me know if anything is not working for you.

Bug fixes:

• No longer keep levelling up on every meditation after end-game.
• Camera no longer moves between transitions
• Birds / Aurora now appears correctly
• Audio levels for separate ambience channels now work again
• Crickets now have heir own separate audio channel that is adjustable via settings
• Day / Night time effects now switch in real-time as you change time (you need to unlock the time ability to do this)
• Emptiness map no longer shows the wrong thought ripples
• Other various bug fixes

A note for the regular players:

The default meditation is now the simpler text-based meditation that was in Playne before the guided meditation update. You can still access the guided version via the 'browse meditation' menu.

Hope you all enjoy this update and thank you all for your continued support,
Krish.
