A Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone has had a great holiday. Ten Thousand Coins have continued to make progress over the summer, and here are the latest updates:
New Feature - Wagon Repair and New HP System
A big change in gameplay with v0.5.1 is the new Wagon Condition and Wagon Repair system.
Wagon Condition is the new name for the player HP, and there is now a completely new method of gaining back condition compared to the previous Rest in wilderness or settlement.
To gain back condition, the player must use certain goods to Repair the wagon. Goods that can be used to repair the wagon will be labelled as so. How much condition is repaired depends on the value of the good as well as other variables that may affect the amount.
To repair, the player simply drags or right clicks on a repairable good, and it will be moved to the repair UI. The repair UI will display the amount of condition the good will repair to the wagon. Repairing the wagon will take 1 hour, as well as consume the good used.
Feature Update - Wilderness Travel
Another big change to the gameplay made from playtesting feedback is the wilderness travel system. Before the player travels in 1 hour sections at a time with each click, but that became rather tedious after long sessions of play.
The big change made is that traveling will now cover more than 1 hour sections, therefore the wagon can travel multiple sections before stopping to encounter an event. The random events have been balanced due to an overall lower frequency of encountering them.
This speeds up the pacing of the game significantly, and removes much of the tedious gameplay from previous builds.
Feature Update - Rumour Tracker on World Map
Update to the rumour system from the previous build, a rumour tracker in the world map screen have been added to allow easier trade route planning.
The world map screen can now be opened in the wilderness.
Feature Update - Barter System
Like the wilderness travel system, the barter system has also been sped up to improve the game's pacing.
Art Update - UI Colour Scheme
The overall game UI colour scheme has been changed to be more cohesive from menu to in-game.
Another playtesting build will be coming soon, so stay tuned for news and updates!
