Early Access update #3
Greetings to all blacksmiths,
here I come with another update of the Early Access content and what I've done over the past 2 weeks!
1. Bulletin board and vendors - so after the Prologue completion, I'm giving players full freedom of what course will they take, as some have been putting remarks, that their gameplay is limited. I need to handhold most players so they understand the basics and then they can move on their own!
Bulletin board will contain frequent quests that player can take or doesn't have to. Each can provide various rewards or recipes.
2. Reputation items - as there will be various vendors, building reputation will be important in obtaining strong magical stuff, to your heroes or for your workshop.
One of the many examples are treasure chests!
Heavenly chest will provide you with random resource every day. The evil chest can give you gold!
3. Treasury logbook - as the weeks progress, at the moment there is no history to track on how you've been doing in the past. That's why I'm implementing a logbook that will track each week's numbers and statistics, so you can compare!
4. Bunch of new bandit enemies - in new quests, player can meet epic enemies, one of them is Valkyrie. You better gear up before that battle!
5. New heroes to recruit - as mentioned above, based on your reputation, you will have access to different types of heroes, with different abilities, thus different battle outcome!
6. Multiple employees management - currently, I'm working on optimizing the performance when player hires multiple workers. I've had to remove shadows from Torches and Brazier as it started to become laggy over time.
So, lot of things that I'm working on, but it's starting to become very big for me a as single person. As I'll reach a point of 4 hours of gameplay, I'll have to create a small beta testing team of individuals that will search for bugs and report whole feel from playing the game.
Afterwards I can continue on!
For those interested in how I do all the stuff step by step, check me out on Twitch.
Your support is greatly appreciated, keep it up!
