Update Preview: Sea Fortress and Character Avatar
Today we wanted to give you a brief look at what content you can expect in the next update. We plan to release this update to the beta branch hopefully within 3 to 4 weeks.
[h2]Sea Fortress[/h2]
This update will include a brand new point of interest to find: the Sea Fortress. This fortress is a multi-level dungeon that's built and inspired by a more grid-like medieval style dungeon, rather than the more natural caves you can find currently. You'll have to fight your way through multiple dungeon levels avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and killing difficult enemies. At the end you'll be challenged with a boss fight and some unique loot. There will also be multiple variations of this fortress to discover with different enemy types and layouts.
[h2]Character Avatar[/h2]
We're also happy to announce that you'll now be able to create and customize a character when making a new game and by visiting an NPC in-game or buying a mirror for your ship. You'll also be able to see your character in the equipment screen, along with gear you have equipped such as your hat, tunic, boots, and your weapon.
[h2]New Quests, Loot, and Bug Fixes[/h2]
As with most updates, this patch will also include new quests, loot, and bug fixes. We are also consistently making balancing changes to things like level/skill progression, loot rarities, difficulty, and other gameplay elements based on your feedback.
[h2]Co-op Progress[/h2]
We're happy to report co-op is moving along great and we've recently hit some major milestones, bringing cooperative play closer than ever. We're still in the stage of early internal testing but hope to get it ready for beta testing soon. We'll have a better update on when you can expect that within the next few months.
As always we'd love to hear your feedback and hope to see you on the high seas!
