Intrepid explorers! Our 3rd post-launch update has a new feature, which has been designed with you in mind, uncharted territory! From now on, Kim's map will begin covered and you will reveal it as you travel. As with the photo album, your progress in this area is not reset at the start of a new playthrough; this helps you plan where to go to meet new characters and discover new quests. If you have a save game, places you’ve visited in that run will already be revealed so you can continue from where you left off. After our last update, one of our players, Jambu Kolla, suggested we include excerpts from the books, which Kim can find. We loved the idea and have picked out choice passages, which are now displayed as Kim reads the book so you will get a taste of some other great Victorian authors. If you want to see which books you haven’t found yet, there is a well-stocked bookshop in Lucknow. We’ve also updated the travel line on the map to follow Kim’s route more closely and added a number of fixes and little bits of polish to make your Indian adventures more rewarding. We hope you enjoy this update, let us know what you think in the forums or on social media: http://steamcommunity.com/app/433400/discussions/ https://twitter.com/SecretGamesCo https://www.facebook.com/SecretGamesCo/ Changelist v1.2.2 -> v1.3 New Stuff - The map of India begins as uncharted territory and you discover it as you travel; revealed areas remain revealed in future playthroughs - When Kim reads one of the nine books, which you can find around India, the animation will show excerpts from this book - The travel line has been updated so it doesn’t need to be redrawn when you first open the map after loading a save game and, when you take the train, it appear closer to the railways shown on the map Changes - Buying or finding the Map of the NW Frontier will reveal Afghanistan and nearby levels instead of only Afghanistan - It is much rarer for a policeman to not be carrying some kind of weapon - The end game replay will play out at a faster speed if it is going to take a long time to display - Scrolling backwards and forwards through past scores now works more intuitively - Some tent assets used in campsites and serais have been polished - The end game sequence when you finish a permadeath playthrough has been updated to be smoother and more similar to when Kim turns 18 - Trees’ view cone colliders have been updated to better match pathfinding colliders Bug Fixes - The travel line will always update correctly when changing aspect ratio - Scores that exceed the highest value in their results screen chart now display correctly - The dots on the travel line now display correctly during the end game replay - Fixed occasional crash when game was quitting - The music track will no longer occasionally stop abruptly - Achievements will always unlock at the correct time - Conversations will be hidden before the end game sequence begins
