  • Added a “Pathfinder” – if the Journey map is generated in such a way that the player cannot reach the portal, this system will create the necessary path.
  • Due to the fact that now any Journey can be guaranteed to be exited – early exit (via the button in the interface) from the Journey no longer gives resources.

• Removed energy tokens from resource mini-games. Energy is now awarded based on the length of collected chains. The longer the chain, the more energy you receive (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
• Fixed a bug where the “fullscreen mode” checkbox in the settings did not take into account the current state of the screen and could minimize the window each time you exited the settings.
• Updated resource mini-game field generation.
• The mine now generates the playing field in “chunks” – small, ready-to-collect groups of resources. Gradually, the playing field will degrade into a chaotic state to prevent infinite gameplay at the expense of energy.
• Added an active quest widget to the game map HUD. It shows all current tasks and can be hidden by pressing the button in the interface (thanks to Habish for the idea!).

• A significant part of the starting storyline has been rewritten – the hero has become calmer and more balanced.
• Descriptive texts have been added to the initial dialogues and quests to improve immersion.
• The final button in the tutorial can now be simply pressed instead of held down (the need to hold it down was not obvious).
