With the deprecation of our lighting solution, hiddentree has taken the opportunity to customize our render pipeline. This allows us to utilize the Unity URP Lighting to it's full potential, while having an appealing light attenuation in a voxel environment. With this change we have moved to a Deferred rendering path. We can support lights with a wider range, more intensity, and add more dynamics. We will be tuning the lighting profiles across the world, however you should already see a massive difference in the quality of lighting throughout the world. More options will be coming to allow further balance of lighting features and performance in the near future.

We have made some changes as we looks towards setting up Bind Wound for it's intended advancements and class aptitudes. To that end some major structural changes have occurred with the skill.

- Bind wound can only be started when both parties are not in combat (both the bandager and the person being bandaged)

- Instead of clicking a 'Bind Wound' ability, you now right click the bandage item in your inventory, or move the bandage item to your hotbar

- The bandage item dictates what percent HP the bandage will heal for and what the minimum bandage skill is

- The player's bandage skill determines the amount of time taken to bandage

We believe this will offer a nice balance / tradeoff between speed / efficiency / how many items are being used / etc and leaves lots of room open for milestones and future enhancements. For example the basic Cotton Bandage heals for 8% HP, takes and takes 10 seconds to complete. By leveling your bandage skill to 25, you can reduce this time to 5 seconds.

With this patch we are moving forward with our plan to remove the QUEST tag from item tooltips. This tag was intended to help indicate items that are utilized in quests, a great indication to a player to hang onto it! However, we like reuse of our items. Interesting RPG noise. Tons of Crafting resources. This caused a lot of problems where players were hanging on to items that weren't for their Race / Class, or to simple Crafting Reagents and Vendor Loot just due to it being used in some small repeatable quest. To that end, this tag was causing more frustration than assistance. We feel that our UI/UX and feedbacks systems are maturing in such a way that we can deliver information about item usage while remaining more in context and without causing ambiguities. We will continue to work to improve clarity and provide systems to help players feel a little more secure when making inventory decisions.

As we continue to refine and hone in on our crafting system, we have made the choice to omit failure. We believe the current system delivers a compelling and rewarding ark wherein you must complete the Recipe Research, gather the necessary materials, find an appropriate Crafting Station, prepare the components, and wait for results. Failure does more to sour that experience than enhance it. With that in mind, we have removed the ability to fail when crafting a recipe. Due to this, all Recipes have a hard minimum skill required and are no longer created on a curve. We will monitor and further consider the ramifications of the decisions in the grander scheme, addressing as needed.
