Good Heavens! Demo Update v0.3.18 Adds the Antar Drone
Good Heavens! demo update v0.3.18 introduces the bomb-wielding Antar Drone to Drylands, adds mouse-hold tool interactions, and implements new items like the Potion of stamina. The patch also updates main menu backgrounds and tooltips.
The latest demo update for Good Heavens! expands the monster roster and refines user interface interactions. Version v0.3.18 brings a new combatant to the Dryland biome alongside adjustments for tools and inventory.
New Monster and Combat Encounters
The Antar Tribe gains an elite fighter known as the Antar Drone. This creature plants explosives by approaching the player directly. Players can interrupt the planting animation with repeated attacks, causing the drone to retreat before detonating. While manageable alone, the drone presents a hazard when encountered alongside other Antar enemies.
UI and Tool Improvements
Developers added mouse-hold interaction for tools, allowing players to use items like axes and picks by holding down the mouse button. Tooltips now appear with a 1-second delay, though some items and abilities still feature placeholders or lack descriptions entirely. The update also refreshes the main menu and load screen background images.
New Items and Audio
Three new items join the game: Potion of stamina, Ring of speed, and Grilled rabbit. These items currently bypass tech tree unlock requirements, though developers may integrate them into progression systems or quests later. New audio assets also arrive for gnomes, rhinomels, foxes, and minibugs, alongside fixes for multiple save subfeatures.
Why this patch matters
Demo update v0.3.18 provides combat variety with the Antar Drone while improving the feel of gathering and UI interactions.
