| Cloud Saves | 2021-12-16 | This patch introduces the much needed save files so that game progress can be persisted across multiple game sessions. In addition to game save files, game settings are also now saved to file so changes to music volume, controller sensitivity, and other settings will be the same every time the game is launched. All save files are persisted to Steam Cloud so you can resume your game progress on any computer. Additional small tweaks have been applied to the game to make the user experience easier and more intuitive. Previously, all orbs/shrines shared the same color so it was non-intuitive which orb corresponded with a shrine. Now, all orbs/shr |
| Power Orb Update | 2021-11-25 | The Power Orb update is the first major patch of Fire Dogs. In this update, we have added additional incentives for the player to explore the world, collect hidden or out of reach Orbs, and power up each of the 7 shrines within the game. The Power Orbs can also be collected cooperatively with other players in a multiplayer game, allowing for each player to contribute to the progress of the game. In playtesting, we saw the average playtime roughly triple compared to the previous version of the game. This brings the average playtime for a new player to around 60-80 minutes. Additionally, animal wildlife has been added to the game to make the wo |
