Oculus Quest has released a new update for A Township Tale, which solves a number of bugs and concerns raised since the game`s release.
The tutorial in the game has undergone the biggest changes. It`s now an optional feature that is able to be cancelled at any time. The tutorial was unclear and poorly structured when I tried it out last week. For those looking to go into the deep end, this change will be well-received. The developers had this to say regarding the changes to the tutorial in Quest:
We recognize that the tutorial is the most stressful thing for new players trying to get into A Township Tale. We`ve decided that , even If the Tutorial was flawless (which it isn`t)it must be optional. This lets players with various levels of aptitude to start their adventures in the main game`s world at any time that suits their needs. The tutorial is able to be returned to the Main Menu at any point in the event that certain details are not understood by players. We recommend you continue with the Tutorial.
In the week before launch, Jamie described the many ways A Township Tale is ambitious, overwhelming , and in a place in which we felt that we need more time before we could give our opinions in a review. The in-game explanations for tasks were “lacking” and the experience overall is “fiddly and physically.” Read more about the game here.
Accessibility features have also been enhanced in this update (which they felt was necessary to be addressed in light of the expanding player base following the Quest release) in the form of adjustable player height. The developers say there are more ways to access belt docks in the next update. Changes have also been made to the fullness and nutrition systems, in addition to general bug fixes and enhancements.
The full list of patch notes can be found here. Quest users are now able to download the update. These modifications to the mechanics will be made to PC VR “in in the near future”.
