• New sprites
• Latex Corruption (purple) region maps
• Introduction dialogue and eventing for Latex Corruption region; 1 scene
• Main Quest Step 1: 2 puzzles, 2 scenes

Changed:

• Creature journal functionality largely removed (pending gallery map as replacement next update)

• Vision cone tracks applicable events better, slightly larger radius and length

Fixed:

• Temple puzzles no longer break when leaving and re-entering
• Skills are no longer accessible from menu
• Restarting the game after finishing the Tutorial Temple no longer automatically completes the tutorial temple
• Listen-skill lights properly despawn after event is erased, instead of creating 10,000+ events per map after long enough
• Various other bugs and issues

Known issues:

• Invisible events and events that have ‘left the scene’ still produce sounds and scent particles
• Can stand awkwardly on the tip of a fern on the tutorial cave overlook. Will keep this bug unfixed
• Can get stuck inside walls when jumping in weird ways in the jump tutorial
• Visual clipping through certain decorative pillars
• Visual clipping through certain stair tiles
• Black lines can be seen around certain events that appear/disappear
• Ending sigil cleanse option can make Lathe stop in place. Until fixed, press 5 twice after dialogue.
• Unknown issue where tinting the images in the intro sometimes causes severe lag
