Update 1.02 - Patch Notes

Changes:
- Added a buff that removes the energy cost of walking and reduces the energy cost of sprinting while it is active. This buff is gained from sleeping and waking up in the morning and will last until nightfall.

Dev Notes: We made this change to make walking and exploration feel less punishing, addressing a lot of feedback we got in this regard. We are aware that this change might make food less necessary for exploration and we will be addressing this issue in a future update.

- Increased sprint speed.
Dev Notes: We increased the sprint speed to give the sprint more value and encourage you to use it more, in turn incentivising you to farm, cook, carry and eat food.

- Rebalanced energy costs of many actions to compensate for the now “free” walking.

Bugfixes:
- Fixed an issue with the Collector achievement, which required an item only available in the Prologue to be completed. If you have collected all items required for the Collector achievement, collecting any item should now unlock the achievement.

- The savegame-bug fixed!
After the release of Stranded Sails, many player encountered a problem, that corrupted their savegame after saving their progress manually.
Thank you for voicing out the issue! We worked on a fix ASAP and we were able to identify the issue and it should be fixed with the most recent update.

You should now able to save manually and load your savegame without the risk of corrupting your savegame. However, you have to start a new game if your savegame has been corrupted previously. We are really sorry for any inconvenience but once you updated the game, the bug should be gone for good.


Developer Notes:
We are aware of all of your feedback and we are working hard on improving Stranded Sails. This update is only the first step on the way of making it a game most of you will enjoy playing. We are working on improving the general balance of energy, farming and food. Our goal is to make exploration feel fun and rewarding as well as farming and cooking to be “worth it”. We hope you stay with us on this journey.

Thank you for listening!

Update on Improvements
Do., 24. Oktober 2019

Hi adventurers,

We have a short update for you as we are continuing to improve the game. Just as you openly give us your feedback, we would like to inform you transparently:

New Description
To make it easier for all interested players to judge whether they like the game or not, we've revised the description (see "About this game"). The new description is already available in English and German. Other translations will follow soon. Your reviews have been an essential basis for us to see exactly what we need to include in the description to better meet players' expectations.

Bug Fixing
Thank you very much for your bug reports in the forum. Category A and B bugs are currently being fixed by the developer. Please don't hesitate and keep writing so that we can fix all the bugs.

Russian Translation
Many Russian players have informed us that the localization is incorrect. That's why we're having the Russian version checked right now. Until we have a correct, playable translation, we have deactivated the support for this language.

Improved Design
We appreciate your feedback on how we can make the game more interesting and appealing. The game designers are already working on checking all the ideas and making the game more beautiful according to your wishes.

Please keep on sharing your opinion with us. We read every feedback carefully and will work hard to get the game on the right track for everyone!

Thank you,
Your team at rokaplay & Lemonbomb
