Version 0.31.0
🕑 Added 2019-03-31 23:44:35 +0000 UTCThis version features a vast reorganization of core elements in the game. Original lore characters are being transitioned to the "bab" format, allowing them to share the same code and functionality, and avoiding having to maintain their hardcoded mechanics and dialogues, as it used to be. On detail:
- Celik and Oriol converted to new format and moved over to the new Outback, with some modifications and additions made to their speech and quest lines. The rest of the characters will follow right away.
- Kult, a new "ghost" NPC can be found somewhere in the new Outback. He will allow you to reset the game by wiping out your character's memory.
- The old Outback is still available, should you need to gather some fruits and items that have not yet been moved over. Old micro-instances like the Inn and the Island have not yet received their portals on the new Outback, so they still need to be accessed through the old one. Lore characters will not spawn on here anymore.
- Fusions have been reworked entirely, and now allow more than two members. The "Host" will simply take over the guest, and they will appear as items on their inventory. Right clicking on any of them will release them.
- Console command unfusenewbyname nameofguest will remove one specific guest from your fused character, incase you need to do that from a macro or dialogue action.
- Console command forcefusion will fuse the target orc (set using the target command) with whomever they are looking at.
- Console command fusenew does the same as forcefusion, but will not play an animation.
- Forced console fusions now have a different visual representation.
- Similar to adding tattoos, you can now add bumped "scars" to your character by opening the console and typing scar filename , where filename is the name of the image (without extension) that you save to the same folder as your tattoos. Scar maps are black and white heightmaps, where the "relief" of the surface is represented by the brightness; light colored areas will "bump up" the skin and viceversa. This feature is still unfinished and may look incorrect in some areas of the character.
- Two new hair styles are now selectable on the character editor.
- A ceremonial helmet can be found in one of the stone circles on the new Outback.
- BG Music added to the character creator and bonfire scenes.
- Outback ambient music now reacts instantly to the music level set in the options screen.
- Skin shaders and materials have been rebuilt using Amplify Shader Editor, as ShaderForge is no longer supported.
- Added "self action" button to action bar.
- Scrolls editor screen no longer "locks up" when pressing on some of the buttons while having a dropdown menu opened.
- A new "transmute" dialogue action will let you exchange one type of consummable for another. It is not really a trade mechanic, though, as it creates and deletes items on the fly.
In short, many things changed and are still changing in order to have a fully working new Outback, so some things will look a little off for the time being. I recommend that any custom NPCs created for the old outback are moved over to the new one, by their respective creators.

I am finding this current version not easy to use and confusing. Especially how to get of the valley and find other Orc's. This just isn't fun anymore.

Cool, mods are working better as well, I’m getting the hyper stuff back without the ps1 errorscreen/game close.

Force Fusion command is really cool. but i wish the camera doesn't force itself behind my character.
Daniel
Really love the forcefusion feature man, I can literally bring any character anywhere I want, even to the Island.
League Of Gamez
Yeah I saw on the new patch.

I don't think the rest of the main characters have been ported to the new outback yet which is why it loops around at Oriol?
Hogswild Prasetto
console commands "morning", "noon", "eve" and "night" will let you do that

Unplug your dual shock 4 or any similar gamepads before running the game.
Hello! Just a small Issue I have: Left and Right click seem to be bound to the same input? I try to move the camera but it just spins incontrollably and goes as far down as it can. Any way to fix this?
League Of Gamez
Update: It still didn't work but oh well what do I expect it's a new beta build I should expect a few bugs. Other than that I love what you did with the new Outback and new dialogue in the game(and other things I didn't see yet). Can't wait to see how it looks when it's fully released.😁

Loving; the new little additions to the animations and dialog, the new character (Kult) and the new Outback. Its nice and linear, though, now I need to rediscover where anything is.

While playing the game with my orc from the previous build the story won't continue on after I find Oriol, Every time I finish his mission that ends with him saying I need to find other Orcs after fusing with him it just keeps looping to when I first met him all over again. I deleted my old profile and start the game over again I'll see if it works then.
R Q
Is there any way to change time of day in the new outback?
Halin
That bug isn't really a bug you just put it in without targeting yourself first for it to work right Hogs told me to do this first target @playername then forcefusion
Daniel
Oh man, I was hoping for a closure of Bolt's quest and more characters or even bigger sizes, but whatever, I love the multi-fusion feature, surely this will allow you to add more characters and locate them on the map "easier", I'm excited, but I was waiting for more content after two months. Not that I'm angry or anything, I'm really looking forward for more in the future. About the new features. When I force-fuse with an NPC I lose control of my character and no longer move him, only type commands. Also apparently the beard stubble can now be the same color of your body hair, neat.
Incrediblelair
Can't wait to see the final game!
League Of Gamez
Yes!! I've been waiting for this.

Oh, and I’m not sure if this is true for all the new hair styles, but the new spiky one that isn’t the ponytail one shows up as the color you select when creating your character in that menu, but black when you play the game.
INeedANameForThisHuh
I’ve found Celik, but nothing happens when I try to speak with him except something along the lines of “you see an orc”. I haven’t found Oriol in the New Outback - Celik and Kult appears to be the only ones there.
Meaninglez
Oh I've been looking forward to this!
