1.13.2 Patch - Little Fixes!Hi Peculiars,
Any of you who are especially eagle-eyed might notice that this is the first update in a while, and perhaps wondering why!
I retroactively found out that the game engine I used to make The Beekeeper's Picnic has certain... quirks when it comes to pushing through updates into Steam, and when I first began releasing a flurry of updates in the week after the game's release, it caused some people's existing saved games to become unstable or unusable.
So, this time around I've done a lot more research into what breaks saves and what doesn't, taken things very slowly and done lots of testing with regards to saves. I expect that updates and little fixes are going to come more regularly over the next few weeks and months as I get a bit more confident with this process!
Changes:
- Decreased volume of the crowd at the fair
- Fixed a bug where accessing the brain attic if standing in a particular spot during a particular scene would make Holmes become stuck in a wall on his return to the material realm. The best solution I've got to this is to just prevent the player accessing the brain attic during this moment!
- Added additional code to attempt to coax Toby III not to fly on the map screen very occasionally.
- Added a few missing lines of dialogue audio

It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village, beekeeper and former world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson. The only problem is that a series of mysteries keep getting in the way!

Interrogate and befriend a fully professionally voice-acted cast of eccentric characters including a clown with a tragic past, a budding young naturalist, a wannabe showman and a prickly police officer.
