Feature Update - Barter System / Trader Supply and Needs
A big change with this build was increasing the amount of slots for goods that each trader had on offer, as well as goods they needed. The change is from 3 goods 2 needed to 6 goods and 4 needed.
This was done for the sake of progression, allowing a straightforward reputation progression for each settlement, unlocking new trading goods as reputation increases. The needed slots were increased for the new settlements and goods added in this build, giving more options for goods to bring to each trader.
Feature Update - World Map
Content Update - New Settlements / Wilderness / Traders / Items
A lot of game design went into creating new content for this build. I felt like that pug after weeks working on spreadsheets.
5 new settlements have been added to this build, as well as 10 new wilderness sections connecting each settlement to each other.
Nearly all items in game have been reworked, and a ton of new items have been designed and implemented in the game for the new settlements. A template trader has been added to each new settlement. Play-testing and balancing will be needed before the goods in each settlement will be finalised.
This is the amount of settlement/wilderness/item content planned for the final release. More refinement to this content will be shown in upcoming posts.
Misc Update - Development Blog
As you may have noticed if you follow this blog regularly, there is a new theme! The old theme has been overdue for an update, and now finally it has been done. The main website will be next on the list.A new title logo for the game has also been created, but details for that will be in the new blog post.
Feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts on this new layout!
As always, stay tuned for more updates to come!
