Anniversary Update - Available Now!

[p]Hello Talisman fans! :TalProToad:[/p][p]Today, we’re celebrating the 1 year anniversary of us launching Talisman: Digital 5th Edition on Steam with the launch of the Anniversary Update![/p][p]Since we originally launched Talisman: Digital 5th Edition, our team have been keeping a close eye on your feedback, reviews and all the comments you’ve been leaving for us and online. Based on that feedback, we’ve worked on some previous quality-of-life updates already, but we thought it made sense to celebrate a year of support with a bumper update full of community-requested features![/p][p]So, let’s dive into all the different features of the Anniversary Update, available now on Steam![/p]
[p]AUTO END TURN[/p][p]This was a popular request, and is the headlining quality-of-life feature in this update! We've added a new option to automatically end your turn if you have no other actions left to take.[/p][p]This setting will specifically make it so that you no longer have to confirm that you want to end your turn if you finish a turn without the ability to do anything. In online games, this is a per-player setting, so you can use it even if the host and other players don't![/p][p]We’ve done lots of testing and playing using this new feature over the past month, and the amount this speeds up and streamlines the Talisman playing experience is massive - so make sure you give it a go.[/p][p]CAMERA CHANGES[/p][p]We've done a major pass on the game camera to make it smarter, smoother, and more responsive too.[/p]
  • [p]We've implemented a new camera animation system that feels better to use.[/p]
  • [p]The Auto-Camera will now wait until after you've selected a space to move to before it starts following your character.[/p]
  • [p]Clicking on the board is now more responsive. The game will no longer pause to check if you're double-clicking when you don't have a choice to make.[/p]
  • [p]We've made the board navigation icon easier to see.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed several controller-related zoom and navigation issues.[/p]
  • [p]We’ve squashed bugs related to odd camera movement when holding the mouse button and fixed zoom issues on 4:3 monitors.[/p]
[p]GRAPHICS CHANGES[/p]
  • [p]Enabled multi-threaded rendering for smoother performance and a more stable framerate.[/p]
  • [p]Cards are now brighter and easier to read.[/p]
  • [p]Optimized the "skydome" (the background for the game) textures to improve performance.[/p]
[p]ADDED FUNCTIONALITY AND OTHER QOL THINGS[/p]
  • [p]The AI now plays with more defined "goals," making it a more challenging opponent overall.[/p]
  • [p]In online games, other players (not just the host) can now also provide Endings for the game if they own the associated expansion for the ending.[/p]
  • [p]We've added a "Resume Game" button to the save game menu. When you select a save, this button is highlighted, making it faster to jump back in and easier to navigate your saves using a controller.[/p]
  • [p]We’ve made it easier to navigate the House Rules menu using a controller too.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug where a revealed Hidden Ending would become hidden again after loading a saved game.[/p]
  • [p]The game will no longer save your "preferred game" settings from an online match unless you were the host - so joining an online game will not mean you need to re-adjust your game setup settings![/p]
  • [p]Improved the highlighting and selection in the custom decks list.[/p]
[p]Alongside all these exciting updates, the Anniversary Update also fixes and improves the following:[/p]
  • [p]Crashes: Fixed several game crashes, including potential crashes when resuming an online game, using the Treasure Map, or clicking on the board when no choices are available.[/p]
  • [p]Login: Addressed an issue that could prevent some players from signing in to their Nomad Account.[/p]
  • [p]Controllers: Made several improvements for controller navigation, such as highlighting the correct "Select" button after choosing a character or highlighting the board (instead of "Spend Fate") after rolling to move.[/p]
[p]Character & Card Fixes[/p]
  • [p]The Druid can no longer change their alignment before the first turn of the game.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed issues with some "destroy Spirit" abilities and the Lich.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented players from rolling for Acquisition.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug where Warlock Quests and the Crown and Sceptre had the wrong ending types.[/p]
[p]UI & Text Fixes[/p]
  • [p]The game log will now correctly stay at the bottom (to show new messages) if you're already scrolled to the end.[/p]
  • [p]Corrected an issue where the background image in the main menu could disappear after quitting a game.[/p]
  • [p]The "My Collection" page no longer repeats cards in the deck browser.[/p]
  • [p]The "Re-roll" button for traditional dice now uses the correct icon.[/p]
  • [p]Removed the small "Arrow" button for minimizing choices, which was causing confusion.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed various other text display and card highlighting issues.[/p]
[p]We hope you all enjoy this new update to Talisman: Digital 5th Edition, and that you're ready for the upcoming launch of The City Classic too![/p][p]To stay tuned for more updates, make sure you follow our small studio everywhere we are online, and follow Talisman: Digital 5th Edition here on Steam for direct updates as soon as we post them.[/p][p]Thank you again for an amazing year of support, and may all your dice rolls be in your favour! 🎲 :heart:[/p]
