Playtesting Open, Big update soon!
Hey Guild Leaders!
These last few months I've been putting the finishing touches on the upcoming big update;
If you want to try it out early, the instructions are at the bottom of the post! but beforehand, I want to show some of the cool things I've been working on since last update;
This includes the various enemy units of factions following you underground; It doesn't happen in-game because there are no negative events which lower your faction favorability enough, but that will be added in the future >:D
An example: the squires who buff their knight allies and hang in the back -
Or the commoner hero who alternates between lecturing their gullible follower peasants and attacking your units.
Various unique oddities were added to the new areas, currently 3 new oddities for each new zone.
A forgotten research lab in the damp caves, with instructions for how to create powerful items, and ingredients you can gather from the long forgotten inhabitants of the area...
As well as a large manhole which can serve as a risky but handy shortcut in the sewers...
I've added a few new food effects that would affect your resource management and rests...
Want to try out the big update early and find possible bugs?
Here are the steps to do so!
1) Right click on Netherguild in your steam library > Properties > Betas
2) Enter the code "ForgottenRoads" and choose to opt into the beta at the bottom. Make sure it changes in the top right!
3) Try it out and let me know if you have any feedback in the usual channels! be it through the Steam forums or through the Discord (Do mention that it's beta testing related though pls)
Speaking of which, if you don't want to grind through the entire game again to try out both factions, I have ready-made saves in the #weekly-news channel in the Netherguild Discord that you can download and try out.
Addition summary:
4 new classes (2 for each faction)
Faction stores and unique food items
2 new areas
Hope you enjoy playtesting if you do! I plan to hopefully release this update sometime before the new year.
Thank you for reading and may you always return from your expeditions,
-David
