Brighter Shores Quality of Life Improvements Today!

This update was meant to be launched next week, but some cheeky Christmas elves pressed the wrong buttons and it accidentally went live a week early. Consider it an early Christmas present from us!

- The character select interface now shows what passive your character was doing when you logged out, and how long before it lapses and needs restarting.

- The passive activity footer now shows how long before your current passive activity lapses and needs restarting.

- When repeatedly fighting the same foe, your character will automatically choose the weapon you chose the first time you defeated the foe.

- When repeatedly crafting the same weapon, the weapon crafting interface will open with the level you chose when you previously crafted the weapon.

- After opening a bank from a storage rift, you can now press the back button to go back to the bank selection screen.

- The storage rift in Ray Bay has been moved slightly, so you can access it equally easily from Pirate Hideout and Ray Bay.

- You can now withdraw monument pieces from a storage rift.

- You can now drink potions while doing potent potions and while using the smelter, the B.R.E.W.S. vat and the T.E.A. machine.

- Viewing a recipe from the professions interface now shows only the relevant recipe, and does not interrupt your current action.

- You can now choose the level of the epic weapon you get when infusing (up to the average level of the input weapons).

- Completed quests are now sorted to the bottom of the quests interface.

- The tooltip on side quests now displays the precise level requirements.

- The game window will be restored to the same position and fullscreen state it was in when you closed the game.

@AndrewCGower AMAZING patch!!! Those QoL updates are all amazeballs! Thank you 🫶🫶🫶

Brighter Shores is 1 year old today. In the last year we have launched:

- A heap of quality life improvements.
- Leaderboards.
- Transmog system.
- Potion Belt.
- 3 holiday events.
- Merged combat profession.
- 5 new quests.
- Player-to-player trading.
- Botanist profession.

We also have a good pipeline of in-progress stuff including a 6th quest ready to go, and a massive amount of work on project milestone already done.

The focus this year has been on making sure the fundamentals of the game are right before we make it a lot bigger. Re-engineering the fundamentals of the game is much more time consuming than creating new content, so once project milestone and the combat rework are done, we should be able to ramp up the pace of development.

I also spent over 10% of my time last year on recruitment and training and moving to a bigger office, to put us in a good position for our 2nd year.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey so far, we are still just getting started, so watch this space!

Due to popular demand we now plan to launch the Brighter Shores Halloween event 1 week earlier than originally scheduled.

The halloween event is due to launch on Monday the 20th October, and will last until Monday the 17th November.

@FenSamuel The Weekly Leek is the perfect way to start my week 🥬

@Geir_AAnestad @AndrewCGower SPOILER ALERT
SPOILER ALERT

You get a potion belt that lets you equip three of those pesky pots that were overwhelming your backpack (XP potions, anyone?). And the reasoning behind it is witty but makes senses.

[Atarun @Atarun]

@FenSamuel Congrats on your first quest being released!! 🍾
You must be over the moon 🤗

[Atarun @Atarun]

@FenSamuel Quest incoming 👀

[Atarun @Atarun]

@Drimphed @FenSamuel Oooh 😮I somehow missed that... question still stands for later episodes though 🤗

[Andrew Gower @AndrewCGower]

Issue #2 of the Weekly Leek is now available. We have had three new starters this week so a lot of the focus has been helping them get up to speed, but we have also made good progress on various other projects.

@AndrewCGower Thanks for the update! 📰🥳
I highlighted the new things on the sidequests infographics🤗

[Atarun @Atarun]

@VarietyWeeb @AndrewCGower Take a look at the subreddit and you will see a ton of toxic people. I'm not saying there aren't genuinely disappointed players who want their voices heard, there are. But the toxic crowd is drowning their voices as much as those of the players who already like the game 😢

[Atarun @Atarun]

@AndrewCGower I love Brighter Shores and I'm so looking forward to what will come 🤩
I hope the team can ignore the naysayers and keep up the good work (and stay healthy, body and mind) 💪

[Atarun @Atarun]

@FenSamuel Hey there. Noticed you didn't post the Easter Event announcement here... 🥺
I hope you're okay and that all the horribly toxic negativity has not burnt you out 🙏
