Greetings everyone,
Shiness released a few weeks ago and we've carefully read and listened to your feedback since launch to work on a first update improving the game.
We focused on the most common reports and feedback to deploy a patch helping as many players as possible.
[b]This is a great week for Shiness as its first update is available today on Steam and the complete Original Soundtrack will be available tomorrow (disc version and digital version)![/b]
[b]The patch will also be available on consoles by the end of the month with some console-specific bug fixes[/b] such as: ambient sounds are properly played, AOE spells’ visual effects are properly displayed on the ground, the X and Y axis camera setting is now saved.
[b]One of the major improvements this patch brings to the game is about the camera system in combats[/b]. What you need to know about this feature:
- There are two camera modes in combats: Autolock (the camera automatically targets the enemy) and Free (the player can move the camera freely). [b]You can change modes in the Settings menu (Combat camera autolock: ON/OFF).[/b]
- Both modes are improved with the patch.
- The default camera for combats was Autolock mode in the launch version (Combat camera autolock: ON) and is now Free mode in the patched version (Combat camera autolock: OFF).
