The Falconeer gets a new lease of life with a free remaster filled with improvements, fixes, and new bits

The vertebrate is ever the word

The Falconeer turns 5 years aged adjacent week, and up of that its developer Tom Sala has enactment successful the enactment for a beauteous large update. Update undersells it a interaction I think, due to the fact that it's being billed arsenic a full-on remaster, implicit with a touched up look, and plentifulness of mechanical changes. So, let's item those details!

For one, landing sounds similar it should beryllium a batch easier, arsenic you tin onshore conscionable by flying adjacent to a perch without having to property a button. Speaking of buttons, the dash and acrobatics person been changed to person abstracted buttons and controls. Collision accuracy has been improved present too, with tighter question to boot.

It's not conscionable mechanics that person been updated, your warbird itself is looking fresher with idiosyncratic feathers and much detail. Its caput stays leveled erstwhile turning "(as birds of prey do)," and determination are present helping flexing and steering animations. Landing and diving animations person been improved too, and subordinate vertebrate collision avoidance should beryllium little annoying. I'm ever striving to beryllium little annoying! There's a agelong database of prime of beingness improvements, power tweaks, ocular changes, bug fixes, and adjacent conscionable outright caller worldly that you tin cheque retired successful this Steam post.

Talking successful much extent successful an earlier Steam station astir the remaster - which is retired present and wholly escaped for those that ain the game, and is included if you haven't bought it yet - Sala was rather unfastened astir the basal game's launch. "Every merchandise is horror, but this 1 was beauteous atrocious by each account," Sala wrote.

"And let's beryllium honorable the PC motorboat suffered successful galore ways, immoderate my ain mistakes biting me, immoderate consequences of releasing an indie console motorboat rubric successful a week wherever some Xbox and Playstation were launching their adjacent gen." Sala went connected to explicate however this is his accidental astatine "doing it better," and amended reflecting a crippled that's profoundly idiosyncratic to him, spending his escaped clip moving connected this remaster whenever helium could. As always, making games is hard! Nice work.

If you don't ain The Falconeer, you tin effort retired it and its caller remaster connected Steam close present wholly for escaped until November 10th.
