Driftmoon 2.0.1

29.10.2024

Hi everyone! Driftmoon has been updated. The reason is our daughter Laura played the game almost to the very end, learning a difficult new language, and very much wanted to see the game her parents had made. Unfortunately she found out that just before the end of the game all her companions had gone missing, and the game was unsolvable without them. Turns out that it was possible to leave all your companions behind in the warehouse in the docks region, if you quick traveled out of there using the world map. I believe the problem has been there for well over 11 years now, but it's finally fixed. We're very sorry about the bug Laura, thank you for pointing it out! Here's the changelog:

• Fixed companions going missing when quick traveling from the Nomon Docs warehouse, and other places.
• The little box companion is now unkillable.
• No longer possible to drop to lava from the end game fortress.
• Fix being able to quick travel out of the locked tavern at Northrop.

Update 1.90-1 Patch Notes

• Updated the algorithm for bleeding on NPCs. Basically, I increased the chance for bleeding to happen, but decreased the duration and severity of bleeding. In the past, bleeding effect has been pretty useless because it doesn't happen very often, even though it can last a long time. Most of the time the enemy is killed way before bleeding kills him. This is most problematic for weapons with low fire rate and high bleeding value, such as the .44 magnum.

• For balancing purpose, increased the bleeding effect for ballistic knife to 0.7. This means against an unarmored enemy, there's a 100% chance of causing bleeding. The ballistic knife had been pretty useless due to its low fire rate and low range, which requires 3 shots or even more against armored enemies. The increased bleeding makes it more viable as a stealth weapon. But you need to make sure the enemy (especially human) is killed off before he bandages himself.

• Added some AI cover locations inside Jian Jun's house

• Fixed some formatting errors for Russian and German translations that causes UI bugs
