Hey Creatures Savers!

We're excited to announce our latest addition to the Explorer Update - the Free Collectibles Update! This new feature is designed to help you uncover every secret Ava has to offer, but remember, it's entirely optional for those who prefer to discover everything on their own.


Building on the Explorer Update, we're introducing a new companion to join Vic and Tabitha on their mission - the Scout Bot! This helpful little robot is here to assist those of you who want to ensure you don't miss out on any of Ava's hidden treasures.

• Scout Bot Locations: You'll find Scout Bots at the end of each biome.
  
• Reveal Collectibles: Interact with a Scout Bot to reveal all missing collectible locations on your map for that biome.
  
• Detailed Map: Zoom in on your map to see the precise locations of undiscovered items.

Don't forget, with the Explorer Update, creatures will respawn in areas you've already cleared. This ensures you can always complete puzzles and collect any items you might have missed on your first pass.
We hope these new features enhance your exploration of Ava and help you uncover all the wonders our world has to offer. Whether you choose to use the Scout Bot or prefer to search every nook and cranny yourself, the choice is yours!
Happy exploring, and thank you for your continued support! 💚

Hey Creatures Savers! 🦕

We’ve just released the Explorer Update, that adds multiple improvements and some major design changes into Creatures of Ava.

We wanted to address your feedback regarding creature respawns and missing collectibles.

With the Explorer Update, even after rescuing all creatures in an area they will respawn again so that you can complete remaining puzzles and collect collectibles.

What’s more, if you are having trouble locating all collectibles’ locations, we’re introducing a new bot that is joining Vic and Tabitha on their mission — the Scout Bot. Interacting with it unlocks all the locations of the optional content in that region. This is totally optional, but we hope it helps you not miss out on any elusive findings!

Patch Notes:

Major design changes and improvements:

• Creature respawn system has been implemented to make sure all the secondary activities along with Avapedia completion can be done even after rescuing required amount of creatures for the main quest;
  
• A new bot has been implemented at the end of each biome. Upon an interaction with one, all the missing collectibles will be shown on the map (zoom in to see those) for that biome to make sure players can collect them all;
  
• More detailed information on those two changes can be found in the developer’s post here.

Overall Stability and Steam Deck improvements:

• All the Graphics Settings have been unlocked on Steam Deck so it is on par with PC version;
  
• Improvements to overall stability that should reduce instances of random crashes.

General issues and improvements:

• Balance changes to co-op abilities requirements;
  
• Implemented new paths on both Interludes on Grassland biome to be able to reach all the collectibles;
  
• Fixed the issue where one of the Maruba Swamp beacons disappeared making it impossible to rescue all the creatures;
  
• Fixed the softlock that could occur if player opened pause menu or PDA right before one of the intro cutscenes triggered;
  
• Fixed the issue where dodging or jumping right before initiating a dialogue would result in Vic floating in the air and not being able to use any equipment;
  
• Fixed the issue where toxic fumes did not do enough damage while character was in the air so certain areas could have been reached without a required spell;
  
• Fixed the issue where wind chime at Scientific Refuge in Grasslands could not be collected upon finishing Jungle biome;
  
• Fixed the issue where player could get to unplayable area near the Final Tower in Antar Dunes;
  
• Fixed the issue with out of bounds area that could be reached in the Nari Jungle biome;
  
• Fixed the issue where saving main quest creature in the Nari Jungle and returning to the original area would result in the creature still being there;
  
• Fixed the issue where character could get stuck in vines in the Antar Dunes;
  
• Fixed the issue where character could get stuck near the Experiment building in Grassland biome;
  
• Fixed the issue with invisible collision after destroying Witherblossom in Antar Dunes that could have prevented players from an easy access to playable area;
  
• Implemented a ledge grab on stairs leading to the western statue in Antar Dunes;
  
• Fixed the issue where some of the VOs were cut off during the initial sequence in the Grasslands;
  
• Fixed missing translation for cooking mini game;
  
• Credits have been updated;
  
• Fixed instances of missing translations;
  
• UI improvements;
  
• Navigation improvements;
  
• Major collision improvements for character and creatures;
  
• Smaller changes and improvements.

We hope these changes make your experience playing Creatures of Ava that much better. Thank you for your support. 💚
