Explore New Horizons: Keplerth's Alpha 18 Update Unveiled!
New Content Update for Keplerth: Expanding the Adventure
In a recent announcement, the developers of Keplerth have unveiled a significant content update that introduces new creatures, a formidable boss, and various gameplay enhancements. This update is poised to enrich the player experience and foster deeper engagement within both single-player and multiplayer modes.
Key Additions
The highlight of the update is the introduction of a new creature, the Coocoo, which comes in both friendly and hostile variants. These dimension-hopping beings can be randomly encountered in the game world. Players will benefit from the friendly Coocoos, as they offer a unique feature allowing storage of items in a dimensional chest.
Additionally, players can now challenge a new boss named Coopapa, which can be summoned using the newly introduced Coocoo Jelly item. Another intriguing addition is the Rifter, a new mob that appears unpredictably, carrying stolen treasures. Players can acquire a new item, the Rifter Stone, which facilitates quick returns to their home base when dropped by the Rifter or purchased from Schip’s Lab.
The update also enhances inventory management with new functions for backpacks and chests, including sorting and quick stacking options.
Gameplay Adjustments and Fixes
The developers have made several performance optimizations to ensure smoother gameplay. Notably, in classic mode, players will now retain their armors, accessories, and ammo upon death, while backpack items will still drop to the ground. Other adjustments include a reduction in damage from the Insector Queen's ranged attack and a decrease in the walking speed penalty from her Suffocating Gas.
Numerous bug fixes have also been implemented, addressing issues such as plant growth stalling when players leave an area and the failure of pheromones to attract animals.
Future Development
Looking ahead, the development team has outlined ongoing and future projects, including an achievement system, NPC quests, and a new guidance system. The team is also actively working on enhancing NPC interactions and introducing more atmospheric elements to the game world.
The developers are committed to maintaining frequent updates and transparency about their progress, expressing gratitude to the community for their continued support. Players can look forward to an evolving adventure in Keplerth as new features and improvements are rolled out.
