Hello everyone! First of all, thanks for playing Sandwalkers! We already had some great feedback and we cannot thank you enough for taking the time to post them Here's a first patchnote about what's been fixed and what we're still working on!

Patch 1.0.1

Hotfix

Temporarily changed Insidious Seed attack from the Botanist as it can cause crashes.

User experience

The new run button on the title screen will no longer offer to erase your save. This has been changed to either start a new run, or continue a run you've started but not finished yet.
You can still reset your save through a dedicated button in Options>General in the title screen
Reworded some skill tooltips that werent clear enough
Fixed misleading descriptions on Shield upgrades in the Cristal library, since its not giving +20 flat Shield but +20% max Shield

Balancing

Red ant speed has been nerfed from 6 to 4 Having two angry ants playing before you could do anything was a bit frustrating.
Starting max supplies are increased from 15 to 20 While we want the desert to be challenging in early game, we feel like adding 5 Supplies will slightly help most players in their first runs.
Increased Supplies gain on Desert cactus & animals Again: we want you to be challenged, not to suffer from neverending starvation

Localization

Korean language is now named correctly in the language settings

Bugfix

Fixed the dynamic counter in the description of the Repairs quest
Double clicking the Leave Place action for the first time was hiding the UI sometimes
Effect stacks not decreasing correctly in fight (visual bug only)

Mac

Fixed issues related to specific resolutions, preventing you from closing some screens (like the Map)

Linux

Cinematics will now play normally

As a precision, the changes on Mac are more general and the game should now have the right resolution everywhere, including Steamdeck. Even if not officially supported yet, this and the tweak on the Linux version should make the game playable on Steamdeck

Coming soon

This is some stuff we know about, but that couldn't make it into this patch without threatening either the integrity of the game, or the integrity of our hard working developpers :D

Were aware that the introduction cinematic is missing some subtitles and are working on it: it will be tackled in the next hotfix!
Were tackling a memory leak issue causing freezes and performance drops the longer a play session lasts. As a workaround, you can save and restart the game ; this should make things better even if it is not ideal
Still working on improving the attack tooltips clarity
Steam Cloud support
And more!

"Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.

LEAD A CARAVAN OF SPECIALISTS

At the start of your run, recruit four characters to lead the caravan and achieve your goals in an ever-changing landscape. Each character has a different job and a unique skill that significantly impact gameplay. It's up to you to explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or to track down massive creatures as a hunter.

UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF UWANDO

While managing your food supplies, explore the different regions and benefit from the various biomes by gathering unique resources. Visit cities, establish diplomatic relations with other tribes, and make both short-term and long-term decisions.

SURVIVE AMIDST THE METEOROLOGICAL CHAOS

Fight and survive through acid rain, sandstorms, or heatwaves. The weather influences character movement and combat difficulty.

ENSURE THE POSTERITY OF YOUR PEOPLE

Expand the number of shelters by planting new tree cities, pass on your knowledge to a new caravan through memories stored in the crystal library, and put an end to the meteorological chaos. Don't lose sight of your main goal: reviving the Mother Tree, Umama.
