Beta Update (version 0.7.05)
Last week we updated the Remnants of Skystone Beta with some new features, which may not be noticeable unless you’re checking out some long-unused menus: Friends and Options are now available in the Main Menu!
Friends Screen
The Friends Screen shows a listing of Skystone players who are friends on your Kongregate account. Online players are shown first, with an option to join them if they’re in Nidaria or a Float. You can also jump directly to your friends’ Floats from the Friends Screen.
Options Screen
Long overdue, the Options Screen lets players customize their keyboard controls across all areas of the game, as well as setting up shortcuts to open each section of the Main Menu.
On top of keyboard controls, we’ve added a few other options related to co-op and Floats: Players can decide if anyone can ask to team up with them for co-op, or if it should be limited to friends only (or nobody at all). You can also choose whether co-op requests can be received anywhere, or if you want to turn off requests in town so you can make it to Mission Deployment without getting sidetracked. If you change your Team-Up options, players who send a request will receive a pop-up explaining that you’re not receiving that type of request if they don’t match up with your settings.
Float options have also been added, so you can allow only Kongregate friends to enter, or lock your door completely. Players can also kick users out of their Floats, and prevent others from entering while they’re editing the Float. Messages on the display case’s message board can also be filtered, where each new message must be approved by the Float owner before being displayed for everyone — and Float owners can still delete messages as they like.
The latest updates are available now in the beta on Kongregate for current testers. See you in Nidaria!
