Devlog #1 - The NPCs and Their Utility

Greetings Survivors!

Your adventure on the Isle will present you with many dangers and loot to discover, but also helpful encounters that will make you stronger and prepare you for the toughest battles!

The NPCs are your main allies, besides other players you befriended during your journey.
They will offer you quests, repair your equipment, rewards, and more.
For this reason, today’s devlog is centered around the non-playable characters and their purpose in Lost Isle!

But before we jump in, we have two other big announcements to make:

Firstly, today at 5:00 PM MT, we will open a new Playtest session, running until Sunday, June 1st, at 5:00 PM MT. As always, you can sign up through our Discord Server. We will also lift the embargo, which means that anyone will be able to share their Lost Isle experience. All you need to do is request the “Creator” role on our Discord server.
The second major announcement is that we will be participating in Steam Next Fest from June 9th to June 15th. During this time, the Lost Isle demo will be publicly available!

Now it’s time to take a deep dive into the Lost Isle NPCs and their factions!



Lost Isle Factions

Lost Isle hosts various factions, each with their unique skill and storage that you can buy from.
