Hello, Explorer! ⛵️

The last few days I’ve been working on the next batch of improvements and fixes for RAR Islands, and I believe the game is getting better and better thanks to all your help, reporting bugs, suggestions, etc. I may not manage to implement everything as fast as I’d like, but I’m doing my best with the time I have! 💪

Let’s jump straight into the changelist:

Update 0.9.5#

  • 🚀 Improvements

    • QOL

      • Added the possibility to highlight an Island’s content from the Island List!
      • Added a new Island sorting option by NPCs.
      • Echo Chambers: materials you’ve already offered now show whether they were Correct or Wrong.
      • You can now forget Islands that have incomplete Dungeons.
      • The Atlas now remembers your scroll position while in-game.

    • Dungeons

      • Rebalanced variety of Potions to discover in Dungeons.
      • Added a new setting option to warn you if your Sword/Shield is unequipped or in poor condition before entering a Dungeon.

    • Tailor

      • The Tailor has learnt how to [Repair] Cloaks and Boots!
      • Fixed an issue allowing you to buy Cloaks/Boots that weren’t supposed to be sold by the Tailor.

    • General

      • Improved accessibility for the inventory’s Eat, Drop, and Info buttons.
      • Reworked how effects stack: only the highest one will now apply.
      • Adjusted Gather Guild Badge milestones: the maximum is now 50 (instead of 100, it was a bit too much!).
      • Updated one of the Echo Chamber riddles (thanks @Lya!).
      • Items with full durability (Swords, Shields, Tools, Cloaks, Boots) no longer appear on Repair lists.
      • Added filtering for inappropriate Island names.
      • Other minor improvements.

  • 🐞 Fixes

    • Fixed an issue causing the Bard’s Request to loop infinitely.
    • Fixed Crafting Recipes showing incorrect tool counts.
    • Fixed a problem with Weather Notifications settings.
    • Corrected a Guild Badge typo.
    • Shops now correctly refill after buying all available items (always!).
    • Fixed a rare crash caused by a glitch that allowed equipping the same tool twice.
    • Other minor fixes and polishing.

Foreword#

I wanted to take the chance also to apologize if you faced any issue while playing the game (crash, glitch, accessibility issue, soft-locked for not being able to forget islands, or any other issue…): I’m constantly working to make the game more stable, smooth, and enjoyable, and your patience means the world. 💜

More updates are already on the way! 😄

Thanks, as always, for being part of this adventure.
