Hey everyone, here is a small update. I know some of you have bought the game and are under the minimum required specs (but can still run the game) so I've added it in that if a player selects LOW shadows and/or textures then various "fluff" items with a lot of shader complexity will be deleted. This will help reduce the load on your graphics card. The items to be deleted on low shadows and/or textures are as follows: - Dust particle effect. - Coal fire on the stairs (this is dynamic lighting along with a particle emitter which is costly, gets replaced by a static light). - Several vine leaves. - Several wood whips scattered throughout the level. - Several leaves that are scattered through the level. Other stuff: - Fixed physics material sound SFX for wood (this broke in the UE4 engine update from 4.19 to 4.21 but I originally missed it). - Improved Volume balancing for SFX. - Added open SFX for opening quest/reward letter/almanacs/pause menu/exam. - Added close SFX for opening quest/reward letter/almanacs/pause menu/exam. - Added page turn SFX for flipping through pages of the almanacs/exam. - Lowered default mouse sensitivity (unfortunately this probably won't help people with driver issues/who are under spec). If you send in a bug report (dearapothecarygame@gmail.com) it would be great if you could include: 1) What graphics card you have. 2) What specific OS you use (Win7,8,10 Ubuntu etc along with if it's 32 or 64 bit). 3) If you're on Windows what DirectX version you have/Linux what shader model and drivers you are using. As it is only myself working on this game, the more information you can provide the faster I can provide a solution. :)

- Dear Apothecary Linux [5.98 G]
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,
Shadowbunnie
Dear 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.
