Public Linux Depots:- Dear Apothecary Linux [5.98 G]
Major Update 01/18/2019Hey all,
Here is a major update. There are no more known bugs. If you want to report one, please use the support email (dearapothecarygame@gmail.com).
Patch notes:
- Added an extra screen that says seeds need to be planted and watered on start of game if no save file exists.
- Added pop-up that says if a non craft-able item being placed in the crafting zone is not craft-able.
- Added pop-up if player puts item on pick up table but there is no pigeon there explaining item is lost and to wait for pigeon.
- Added extra logic if player puts a quest where the pigeon will pick up an item, the quest/reward letter will be placed back on quest table.
- Added extra fail-safe to check if no saved file exists then to spawn player at location on level load.
- Added several changes to make the game easier. At the end of the day, the game isn't supposed to be stressful so the added changes should help.
- Bumped up gold by 10-35 on the majority of the quests.
- Bumped gold up by 100 on a couple quests near end game.
- Added extra Karma from quests from The Headmaster.
- Changed exam due date to day 20.
- Changed due date for funds to day 50.
- Added dirt clump to indicate where an un-watered seed is planted along with a tag saying it needs to be watered when looked at.
- Added SFX for planting seeds.
- Added SFX for watering seeds.
- Added the words "Seeds" and "Spores" to their respective seed/spore bags when you pick them up.
- Added version # to menu.
- Added UE4 logo game icon for Linux.
- Fixed a glitch where combining a non-combinable object would not reset the zones correctly.
- Fixed bug where it would show seeds as 12% grown if player tried to plant it in the wrong grow bed.
- Slightly lowered fireplace volume.
- Locked rotation on all item bags so they're easier to place.
- Reduced size of fire that destroys items on pigeon table when no pigeon is there.
- Swapped out new game parchment for the smooth edge version as unreal rendered the old one as jagged.
- Increased brightness of candle on stairs and on the sides of the fireplace. Moved candle to the left of the fireplace closer to it to light up more of the room.
- Switched position of pigeon feathers and magnolia leaves to make it more logical.
- Removed rogue wine bottle.
I wanted to address the issue brought up before about clipping out of bounds. After adding several fail-safes, talking with other developers about this bug, reaching out to the Unreal Community and user testing I can say that it was most likely caused by an under spec PC, possibly an integrated graphics card. After extra user testing this past week I had a tester that had a under min spec integrated graphics card which caused shadows to not render and default settings to be ignored (high mouse sensitivity, motion blur not being able to turn off).
Please ensure you're using a PC better or equivalent to the minimum specs (Linux and Windows have different specs). If your PC does not meet minimum specs this can cause issues such as the level not loading in properly, ghosting and high mouse sensitivity.
I plan to release another update in the next couple of weeks that will add more tutorial information (with pictures), a public domain poetry book (this won't change gameplay, just something to read) and upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.21. Upgrading to Unreal Engine 4.21 will be a big update for Linux users as the newest Unreal version will default to Vulkan if the user has the API installed along with minor performance improvements.
[ 2019-01-18 20:09:35 CET ] [ Original post ] Dear potential Apothecary,
If you chose to take this job, it will involve helping those in your community though completing their various requests of potions, ingredients, and tinctures. Sometimes they won't know what they want and you will need to use your knowledge to decipher what they are looking for. Water and grow plants, combine items and make sure you give the correct pigeon the item in order to fulfill the clients requests.Kind regards,
ShadowbunnieDear Apothecary is a short single player, casual, simulator-esque game. You will take on the role of the community Apothecary while you raise the funds necessary for medical school. Clients within the community will send their requests by pigeon courier and pick up their request with the same pigeon. Send the remedy to the wrong person, or not at all, and you aren't getting paid. Although, not everyone should have the correct item sent to them if they aren't trustworthy. You can learn about the clientele, ingredients and learn the recipes through the various almanacs within your place of work and it is encouraged that you do so.
Many hours of time period research has went into this game as I wanted all of the remedies to be based off of medical knowledge in the time period either by using actual recipes or a rendition of them. You can even play the early English dice game "Hazard" while you wait for a pigeon courier to come.
- 50 Quests, 28 ingredients and 30 recipes.
- 23 clients to get to know with their own individual personalities and hand writing.
- 17 different courier pigeons.
- Recipes, paintings and the majority of the client names are period accurate.
- Play "Hazard", a period authentic dice game.
- Subtitles that can be turned on in the event you have trouble reading cursive.
- Pigeon subtitles that can be turned on if you have trouble distinguishing colour.
