What happened to Embers Adrift in February? This is the state summary of the game

It’s no surprise that Stormhaven Studios has been much more active lately when it comes to introducing their award-winning indie title. With Embers Adrift emerging from the Alpha cocoon during Beta testing this month, the team provided a short list of their achievements in February in preparation for the Beta release.

In the latest status of the game newsletter for Embers Adrift Information about February’s testing and leading up to beta has been revealed. In February, Stormhaven was able to introduce the new area The Meadowlands, and they received a lot of feedback about the new crafting UI, which they deemed a success based on tester feedback. The team will explain a bit about this system in the newsletter:

“The new crafting UI has been well received by our testers. It now has a list of possible recipes, a preview of the resulting items, a drop-down window to choose which ingredients from your inventory you can use with each recipe, and a bar. level slide for crafter to adjust item level. Our crafting system uses all materials no matter what level they are – you use the level slider to adjust the level of the resulting item. This means copper is as valuable at level 30 as it is at level 1.

As you progress as a crafter, you unlock the ability to use more materials from around the world, which will give you more output. The materials used for crafting contribute in different ways to the finished items, for example, bearskin onion grease will have different properties than quillback leather grease while using the same thing. recipe. Dive into our crafting sphere and test its versatility and depth the next time you’re in the game.”
