“ Milestone Achieved: ‘Against the Storm’ Version 1.1 Makes Waves”

Welcome, tech enthusiasts! We’re thrilled to bring you the latest scoop on the Against the Storm update. After the successful 1.0 release, the developers have been hard at work, polishing existing features and introducing exciting new additions. But before we dive into the details, let’s take a moment to express our gratitude to the incredible community that has supported this game from the start. Whether you’re a newcomer or a loyal player since Early Access, your trust and dedication mean the world to the development team. Your valuable feedback, suggestions, and reviews have played a significant role in shaping this game into what it is today. Now, let’s delve into what this update has in store for us.

Developer Notes
While this update may not be as as we initially hoped, the team has been occupied with assisting players who encountered issues with the PC Game Pass save system. Of course, they also took a well-deserved break during the holidays, indulging in copious amounts of pierogies (who can blame them?). However, now that things have settled down, the developers are excited to introduce a plethora of new features and improvements. Buckle up!

New Orders and Custom Portraits
One area that received attention in this update is the orders system. With the addition of the Queen’s Hand Trial mode, it became apparent that there was an imbalance in variety between early and late-game orders. This disparity was not limited to the QHT mode but also affected regular gameplay, especially for players who hadn’t unlocked all the content yet. To address this, the developers have injected more low-level objectives to spice up the early stages of settlement development. As with any balancing endeavor, there might be a few rough edges, but rest assured, the team is committed to refining this aspect further in future updates.

Additionally, keen-eyed players may have noticed that not all traders boasted unique assets, often resorting to generic portraits. Well, fret no more! This update introduces new custom illustrations for both the merchants in your trading post and those scattered throughout the glades. Say goodbye to monotony and embrace the visual diversity that these fresh portraits bring to the game.

Revamped Event Icons and Forbidden Glade
In the realm of visual enhancements, the developers have not stopped at trader portraits. They have also revamped event icons in the glades, replacing them with captivating new artwork. But that’s not all! Keep an eye out for upcoming updates, as the team plans to introduce new art for World Events, further enriching your gaming experience. Oh, and if you’ve ever found yourself mistaking the Dangerous Glade icon for the Forbidden Glade icon, worry no more. The team has redesigned the Forbidden Glade icon to ensure a clear separateion between the two. No more confusion!

Exciting Additions and Improvements
If you thought that was all, think again! This update also includes a host of other changes, such as new decorations to spruce up your settlement, improvements to the user interface, and various tweaks to enhance the overall gameplay experience. For a comprehensive list of changes, be sure to check out the full changelog provided in the link below.

The current game version stands at 1.1.1.

With this update, Against the Storm continues to evolve and captivate players with its immersive gameplay and stunning visuals. So grab your umbrellas and embark on this epic journey of survival and rebuilding. The storm rages on, but together, we shall prevail!
