1.1 PATCH NOTES

1.1 PATCH NOTES

Asper is here, and if you look in the rear view mirror you can see Beta Island disappearing into the distance. I'm sure you're all itching to get out there and explore, so i'll keep these notes short and sweet. 

NEW AREA

-We're launching FOUR new playable zones as part of Asper, each with their own set of Pokemon spawns: Birchwild Grove, Misty Timberland, The Surge Steppes, and the currently unnamed Settlement. 

Birchwild Grove
Full of fairies, mushrooms, mysteries, and with a distinct Autumnal theme, this place is perfect for picnics and late fruit harvests. Just keep an eye out for pesky Pokemon who might want to steal your food or spirit you away!

Misty Timberland
Nothing says 'creepy forest' like hallucinogenic fog, endless pits, and fallen trees. And that's before we mention the ghosts, bugs, and other creepy crawlies that make this terrifying zone their home. 

Surge Steppes
Feeling claustrophobic? The only thing between you and the sky are the massive steel pillars. You can run for days before reaching the edge of this zone, so grab some friends, a tent, some supplies, and preferably a few strong horses. It's time to explore! 

Settlement
This gothic town has an abundance of funding, but very little in terms of permanent constructions. Yet. So it's the perfect time to introduce Settlement Building! You can also catch some gothic Pokemon around town, if you don't feel like exploring too far afield yet. 

Between the four areas there are almost FIFTY new Pokemon available for capture! 

RIDE POKEMON

You can now purchase a saddle through the in-game store that you can equip to any of your Pokemon! It costs 50 BYTES, and equipping a saddle will enable you to ride your Pokemon! This gives a slight speed bonus, but at present does not allow access to any new zones.

The saddle is a single-use item, so no re-equipping, but you can buy as many as you like! 

BETA ISLAND

As Professor Ash should have mentioned, the Beta Ferry has disappeared! 

This is probably for the best, as Beta Island needs a little TLC before it's fit for visitors. Besides, there's plenty to explore in Asper, so what are you waiting for?

And that's it for today! Asper is here, and there's plenty more exciting content coming down the pipe. Have fun out there!
