Orcs Hands On: Patch 1.1 Preview

Hi everyone,

Here’s a first look at some of the changes coming in the game’s first patch! v 1.1

🎮 One New Minigame

A new minigame is coming to the Dreamcatcher Orc House. For now, what’s inside will remain a secret until the patch drops!

🏡 A Clearer Village

  • House numbers: Orc houses are now numbered, making it easier to see which Orc lives where.
  • Gear management: Place an Orc inside the gear station to manage its stats and equipment.
  • Skill tree: New descriptions make upgrades easier to understand.
  • Potion capacity: Increase the number of potions you can carry at a new upgrade station.
  • New hints make it clearer when an area has not yet been unlocked.
    🪓 Improvements and Polish
  • Orcs have new animations and voice reactions when touched or interacted with later in the game.
  • Detonators: Powerful axe hits now have more voice variety.
  • New hints explain keys and help you get started in certain areas.
  • The wrist inventory now clearly shows when it is empty.
  • Later axe upgrade costs and other progression systems have been adjusted.
  • Various improvements to environments, lighting, sounds, and UI.

🔧 Fixes
Island 2 score fix: Island 2 scores were sometimes counted twice, making some total scores higher than intended. This has been fixed. Existing leaderboard entries will remain as they are, but your in-game score may be lower after the update. The new minigame will give you another way to earn score and work your way back up, updating your leaderboard entry as you progress.

  • Healing potions no longer push friendly Orcs around.
  • Orcs can still be grabbed and placed during battle, but can no longer be accidentally thrown.
  • Fixed several issues with healing and campfires when loading or leaving areas.
