It's Wednesday which means it is time for another game update. We are thrilled to say the v0.5.8 is now live across the game.
This update brings a lot of changes so be sure to check out the release notes below.
- New Personas - we have overhauled our in-game characters and the character creator. They have a new visual style and much more customisation options - including a colour wheel which you can use to change the colour of anything.
- Active Skills - new, interactive ways to skill and reach the top levels! This is now required for any skill above Level 15. Try using an oven, the workbench or the lectern - and maybe even experiment with ignoring the prompts to see what happens...
- New isometric camera - we felt the isometric style was something that suited the artistic direction we want for Vitare. This is now the default camera and - at least for now - you can toggle back to free camera if you wish.
- New main menu and loading screens
- Discord RPC to show when you're playing Vitare, what lot you're in, etc!
- Performance boost in lots: especially on larger lots with more lights
- Emoji panel on lot chat
- Improved onboarding for new users to help get started
- Game credits (closed beta testers, take a look!)
- Bug fix: People should no longer sit in the same spot
- Bug fix: If someone disconnects whilst using an object, it should free up much faster (10-15s)
- Bug fix: Spawnable objects such as Pizzas no longer show across different floors
- Bug fix: Objects can no longer be placed through diagonal walls - any existing use of this bug will require you to move the furntiure
- Bug fix: Room entry cinematic now works correctly in all scenarios
