Second FREE Content Patch is now live!
Hello deliverers! How are your flights across the Isle of the Winds going?
We have important news for you, as the Roadmap published at the beginning of the Early Access has suffered a slight modification – but there is a good reason!
We have received many messages from the community suggesting changes and improvements to make the game experience better, but there is one of them that has stood out above all others: the addition of the minimap.
What’s going to happen to the planned content?
Nothing bad! Just that now, instead of 2 Content Patches, there will be 3. So in this Second Content Patch it will be included:
- Fishing minigame
- Minimap
- New language: Valencian
The Third Content Patch will include the Dungeons, and will come super early 2025. We have to confess that we’re very proud of how their design and development is progressing!
If you want to take a look to what the First Free Content Patch contained, read this post.
Minimap
Although it has been difficult to find the balance between a clean interface and the addition of a useful minimap, we have succeeded!
You will now have the help of a minimap in the upper right corner of the screen, which you can make a little bigger by pressing the right arrow key.
This new feature helps to have an easier view of Mika’s location on the map and make decisions about which packages to deliver/pick up or explore the island more closely.
We are very grateful to have received so many messages with your feedback on this, because it has helped us to take the step to develop it and include it in the game.
Fishing Minigame
As you know, old seawolf O’Vel is nostalgic for the days when he sailed the seas, and fish are a nice reminder of those times.
In this minigame you can bring him back the joy by bringing him some of the fish that roam the waters of Mont Gaun, but don’t think it will be easy!
Some fish are in places you wouldn’t expect, and some are very elusive. Make sure to take one or more fish tanks with you as you scour Mont Gaun in search of them.
We had a lot of fun designing this minigame and creating these little friends, so hope you like it.
New language: Valencian
Like all our previous games, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain had to include Valencian among its languages.
We know that very few people will play in this language, but we are very proud of our land and language!
There are still a couple more languages to be added for the final release of the game, so don’t worry because we are still working on it.
Note: We have received messages asking for translation and localization into many other languages. Unfortunately, our resources are limited and, although we would love to be able to do it, for the moment we will stick with the languages promised in the Kickstarter campaign.
Patch Notes
We have also added some small performance improvements and minor bugs:
- Improved fire effects.
- Fixed various occlusion artifacts across the island.
The end of Early Access is near, which means that you won’t have to wait long to enjoy the Third Content Patch followed by the full release of the game on all platforms.
Remember that you can share your experiences and find out more about our other games on our Discord server, as well as ask us questions and solve your doubts.
As always, thank you very much for your support and for helping us to make Mika and the Witch’s Mountain a better game.
Fly High!
