Time Bandit Part 1 just received a major update with new features. A summary of the biggest changes follows, with more details below.
[h3]Buy furniture for your home[/h3] Joseph now sells furniture for your home at the gas station. It's not much, but it's better than nothing! [h3]Steam achievements[/h3] There are now 11 Steam achievements to collect, from getting radicalized to collecting all the secret time crystals and stealing the maximum possible time crystals in Part 1. If you've already been playing Time Bandit, you will have to start a new game to collect many of the achievements. [h3]Steam Cloud functionality and save backups[/h3] Now you can save your game to the Cloud. If you've already finished Part 1, I recommend loading up the game just to send a backup to the cloud, in case you switch hardware before Part 2 comes out. I've heard reports for other games of Steam Cloud overwriting saves when switching between devices (e.g., between a PC and a Steam Deck), so I also set up local save backups. Hopefully you won't have to use them, but in case anything goes wrong, see the FAQ for how to restore your save from a backup. [h3]Added the moon and accurate moon phases[/h3] Now there are real-time moon phases that are (approximately) accurate to the day. While setting these up, I also noticed and fixed an issue with transitioning out of sunrises, which most people probably never ran into since I doubt many are playing the game at sunrise. [h3]Added seasons for the forest[/h3] Return to the forest year-round to see how your trees are growing and changing. It's a lovely autumn right now. [h3]Updated button prompts for advancing dialogue[/h3] If you remapped the action button, the button prompt for advancing dialogue will now update properly to your remapped control. Due to display limits, if you use a button that is represented by more than one or two characters, it may be difficult to read (e.g., for spacebar, which may be a common button to remap to, the word "space" may be too tiny to read). [h3]Minor changes to glitch bomb item[/h3] When you pick up the glitch bomb in the world or buy it from the shop, you will now receive 3 glitch bombs. The price was too expensive for just one. Incidentally, just as I was preparing to publish this update, Valve reviewed Time Bandit Part 1 for Steam Deck compatibility, and it received playable status. This is in line with what I expected from players who said that the game was working well for them on the Deck. It's a great way to play an idle adventure game like this! In addition, I quietly made numerous bugfix updates in the weeks following the launch (we were up to v1.0.13 before this v1.1.0 update!). I may add an official changelog in the Steam forums when I get the chance, just in case anyone is curious about what exactly was fixed! If you haven't checked out Time Bandit Part 1, get it while it's 20% off, and be sure to try out the new furniture for your home! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1481910/Time_Bandit/ |

Make your choices carefully, because everything you start in Time Bandit will take time to finish--just like in real life. I'll talk about some of the many unique real-time game mechanics:
And I'll show off some of the new cutscenes revealing the game's anti-capitalist premise. In Time Bandit, you work as an independent contractor for a mining company, but when you discover theyre trying to take control of time in order to make you work for them forever, you start to steal back. Happy to answer any questions you have in the chat or on Discord: https://discord.gg/vhue5NtN39 :) |
