Today, we are happy to release a new update, including many improvements, changes, and fixes, also based on the overwhelming feedback we have received from you, the great Community of Nahucan!
But, without further ado, let's dive into all the new things, coming with version 1.1.0.0!

Itorah
- Itorah now has idlebreaker animations if no input is recognized for a certain amount of time.
- Adjusted Itorah's ledge hang pose, so her hands are closer to the ledge.
- Fixed a bug that allowed players to climb walls by abusing wall jump input tolerances.

- Other visual adjustments in the UI.
Areas:
- Entrances of the Forbidden Ruins, Cradle of the World Tree, Tlalocan, and Storm Archives are now blocked from the moment the player learns the ability in those areas, until the boss is defeated.
- Fixed some flickering lights in Aracan.
- First Aracan key cannot be carried back to the campfire room anymore. The door in the boss room cannot be interacted with anymore.
- The ability room in Forbidden Ruins now requires learning the Walljump ability to proceed, preventing softlocks.
- Fixed a bug where players could ledge grab falling water drops in Icy Caverns.
- Adjusted the camera during the arena in Icy Caverns, so the player can see the flying enemy better.
- Moved the lever at the bottom of Icy Caverns further away, to avoid activation without having the required Throw ability.
- Previously, the lever in the ability room in Tlalocan was placed outside the camera. The camera now zooms out, so the lever can be easily spotted.

- Removed a door in Ember Bastion where players could lock themselves in.

Bosses:
