Whispers in the Moss / Update 1.15 released


Hello world! Whispers in the Moss has received its 1.15 update, which can be downloaded from the game's store page. The update also includes all the fixes and improvements from the first 1.1 update, which wasn't released on Itch.io before. Check below for full patch notes.

1.1 Update (Released July 3 on Steam):

  • Quick Save: Added a 'Quick Save' feature when stepping on a Save Crystal. Will save on slot #1.
  • Quit to Desktop: Added a 'Quit to Desktop' option in the game menu.
  • Bestiary Access: You can now view the bestiary in-game by pressing ENTER when the 'Hunts' tab is open in the menu.
  • Venom Balance: Made Rosemary items much cheaper to balance the venom status effect.
  • Venom Bug Fix: Character's HP amount in the menu will now update as a character takes field venom damage (the bug prevented the menu from updating, and you couldn't see the damage taken).
  • Item Shop: When browsing for items in an item shop, you can now see the equipped status of jewel-type items.
  • Improved Interactions: Increased the interaction/activation area for various places and objects.
  • Fishing Minigame: Some balance and bug fixes applied to the fishing minigame.

  • Slightly increased gold accumulation from battles, stealing, and chests.
  • Increased likelihood of encountering rare fish in the fishing mini-game.
  • Adjusted stats and attacks of certain enemies.
  • Fixed bestiary index number bug (index number shown at the end of battle now matches the number in the bestiary).
  • Various text and script fixes.
  • Fixed warp bugs on a few maps.
  • Fixed a critical endgame bug that occasionally caused the game to identify regular battles as specific boss battles.
  • Added support for the A/D keys during battles, allowing players to browse skills in both directions (can be used instead of TAB).
  • Numerous smaller fixes.

In other news, I recommend you check out the awesome and on-going Let's Play series of the game by Worlds of ZZT. The ZZT scene is a huge inspiration behind Whispers in the Moss, so it's a real honor to get the game showcased like this.

All the best!
