Terminus: Zombie Survivors - Fuel and Faith Update Out Now! (v0.9.8)

Hey everyone!

I'm thrilled to announce that the Fuel and Faith update (V0.9.8) is now officially live. You can play version 0.9.8 in the default branch! I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who provided assistance with testing and balancing during the beta period.

In this update, I've introduced a new occupation - the Pastor - and added new locations - gas stations, churches, and clothing stores. There are also significant alterations to the vehicle fuel system, and I've included 30 new items like bags, beverages, and generators.

[h2]Three New Places[/h2]



New places - gas stations, churches, and clothing stores - have been added. Each place offers specialized items like fuel and clothing, and you'll also find unique furniture and objects that can only be found at these specific places. Make use of these new additions to enhance your survival strategies.


[h2]New Fuel System[/h2]



I've implemented a more realistic vehicle fuel system. With the addition of 76 new vehicle arts, vehicles now have different specifications for fuel levels, fuel tank capacities, and fuel economies. Now, you can refuel, check the fuel economy, and use pumps to retrieve fuel.


[h2]Added Pastor Occupation[/h2]



The 15th occupation, Pastor, has been added. A Pastor is a spiritual leader with a fixed "Pacifist" trait but also possesses unique abilities like 'Pray', which uplifts companion's morale, and 'Sermon', which grants a potent buff. Use this to lead your allies and build a formidable team.


[h2]Inventory System Upgrade[/h2]



Ten types of bags have been added. The number of bags you can wear is limited depending on their type. By wearing a bag, you can carry more items with fewer AP penalties. Also, now you can store items in furniture too!


[h2]Generators and Refrigerators[/h2]



Four types of generators that can supply electricity to your location have been added. Plus, now you can store and preserve food in refrigerators. Find fuel, start up your generator, and keep your food fresh for longer!


[h2]Sandbox Expansion[/h2]



I've added options for the number of each location and the amount of fuel in vehicles, thus expanding the existing sandbox options. This allows you to tailor your gameplay experience.

In addition to these changes, I've introduced offline mode, automatic end turn when sleep, and new traits as many of you have requested. Please check out the full patch notes below for more details. As always, thank you for playing Terminus: Zombie Survivors.

Enjoy! ⛽🙏


Best,
In-geon
