A big version this time, we several new features!
This time we added a big feature that enhances the replayability of adventures - letting players experience the same content with a very different purpose in mind.
Your art donations are great! So we also improved the recently released Pickup item, making it easier to manage and also adding an option to be a decoration instead of an active item.
Another improvement is in the emoticons area - We expanded the variety and added some extra unique emoticons that can be unlocked by completing certain tasks.
On top of these additions, there are several more improvements and fixes as we get closer to the official release of the game!

  • The Ticks have arrived!
    • Ticks have invaded Kryll and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab as many of them as you can!
    • Once you complete an adventure (no need to perfect), you will gain access to the Ticks mode
    • Toggle the Ticks mode via the button that appears at the top right - or [F1]
    • Once in Ticks mode, night will fall and Ticks will populate the adventure
    • Though randomly populated - the Ticks will always appear at the same places in the adventure - so you can learn where they are for future attempts
    • You only have a very limited time in which you can collect as much as you can, before morning comes again and the Ticks disappear
    • Some Ticks may be unreachable, and it is very unlikely that you will grab all of them before the time runs out
    • More 'open' adventures will have more Ticks, and cramped up adventures will have less (Usually between 100-500 ticks)
    • Adventures with more Ticks will give you more time for the collection event
    • To complete your collection event, you can either wait it out or toggle it yourself - There is no need to reach the shrine
    • Leaving the adventure or restarting it will also stop any ongoing collection event (you will still be credited if you reach a high score)
    • To get a record you must pass the current record (Getting the same amount will not get you your reward)
    • Managing to collect the most Ticks in an adventure will crown you the master of that adventure, giving you some rewards:
      • A crown will show above your head in that adventure to players around you
      • A crown will show in the local chat of that adventure
      • Your record, avatar and name will show in the top right corner of that adventure
      • Your Magic Marker will gain Tick color powers
    • If the creator of the adventure republishes it, the Ticks record will be cleared and all the Ticks locations in that adventures will be randomized again
    • You will get an update if someone dethrones you, or if the adventure was republished
    • New music will play as you engage in the Ticks collection! (Some players might remember it from Temporal)
    • Some tips for grabbing the most Ticks:
      • Initial positioning is crucial! - Try to find out what starting position will give you the fastest access to the most Ticks
      • You may want to 'set up' the place first - Pushing blocks, opening doors or killing enemies may save you precious seconds later on
      • Locking yourself to the adventure can be useful - Remember, only restarting or leaving is forbidden - but respawning is fine
  • Chat emoticons now have a dedicated skill slot in the character sheet.
    • More emoticons were added!
    • Unlock special emoticons by performing certain tasks - Check out the skill description to figure out what.
  • The Pickup item had some interesting changes and additions:
    • The pickup look chooser is now much more convenient and divided into categories for easy browsing
    • Many new skins for the pickups - (Thanks Gors and Eeveeiott!)
    • The blink of pickup-able pickups is now more prominent
    • You can set the pickup to be a decoration, in this state the pickup will not blink and the player cannot pick it up
      • You can still make the item appear with a trigger, or set a name for it
      • The respawn color is disabled if the pickup is set to be a decoration
  • The Mitsu Tales music is now different for each episode (based on it's content)
    • There is also a brand new music track as well! You can check it out in episodes 1, 4 and 7
  • You can now search for adventures that contain race flags, in the adventure finder
  • Pickups were added to various existing Mitsu's tales episodes
  • The daily bonus section in the character sheet now shows how much time is left for the next bonus (not only in the tooltip)
  • All the non platforming/action skills (like Gold Magnet, Magic marker, etc...) will not be locked by your effective level when testing your own adventures

BUG FIXES:

  • The conditions for getting the perfected Mitsu's tales episodes' achievements where very wrong
  • The tutorial adventures do not show completions/perfections/+1 counts on the map anymore
  • The caverns Obelisk and Slab where accidentally replaced with a forest Sign and Plague
  • Copy pasting the Dragon mouth to an opposite wall would not flip it as needed
  • ESC didn't close the Mitsu's Tales panel

Enjoy!

One little addition -
Searching for races will only work for races that were published AFTER the release of this version.

We created a script that should have done that automatically, but if you notice a race that does not show in the search results - please let us know.

Too many ticks, 250*700 (Ticks*Areas) = 175,000 ticks. MyGawd...
divide number of ticks by 10?

You don't really need to get ALL of them :)
Just most of them in a very specific location that you care about.
The Ticks event (per adventure) ranges between 1-4 minutes.

I have to say I really love this update. Ticks are more than just a fun competitive thing, but they're just so satisfying to collect! The little ping sounds they make are just so... Satisfying!
