Smoke and Sacrifice update implements many new improvements

Smoke and Sacrifice has received a huge quality of life patch. Developer Solar Sail Games has made improvements to inventory management, controls, the save system, and clarity of objectives.

Below are the full patch notes:

Inventory Management Improvements

– We’ve added an inventory sort button for instant organization.
– You can now see what you’ve stored inside chests on the map screen.
– We’ve increased stack limits, so you can carry more items.
– You can also now merge two stacks by dragging and dropping one onto another.

Improved Controls

– Keys, tokens, quest items and activators can now be used or applied with a single, context-sensitive button press – no need to open the inventory.
– We also added a button to equip and unequip your lantern.

Save System Improvements

– Story cutscenes now offer the opportunity to save your progress.
– Reminders to use the manual save Terminals have been added at key points.

Improvements to clarity of objectives

– The quest log text and presentation more clearly indicates what to do next.
– The quest log now indicates when a goal isn’t yet possible to complete.

Balancing improvements

– We’ve made weapons gain more health on repair, and last longer than before.
– Boots now last forever, so no more death from shoe expiry in dangerous areas.
– The cost of crafting some items is now cheaper, improving game pace.
– Improved instructions.
– A warning icon is now shown when equipped items are about to expire.
– Early tutorials have been extended to explain controls and features more fully.

Options and Tech

– We’ve also fixed a number of bugs.
