Developer Diary: Exploration
Hello Adventurers! The last few weeks were an amazing experience for all of us! Thank you for your overwhelming support and lots of feedback about our demo! You help us make the game better for everyone!
Today we’d like to talk a bit more about one of the systems that weren’t fully present in the demo — Exploration. It’s easily one of the most important aspects of the game!
The game will feature 14 unique islands. Quite a lot of places to explore! Here’s the game’s map so you have a better idea of how it will look after you visit everything (work in progress, some of these might change).
First things first: to visit other islands, you’ll need to pick one of the three different boats. A more expensive boat will allow you to reach faraway shores (they also require resources, like fuel that you can craft yourself). We bet you’ve noticed that some islands don’t have an anchor sign. That’s because these can’t be reached by sea, and you’ll visit them through different means, which will remain secret until Early Access lands. Here’s a little hint: explorable caves that are filled with lots of different riches, secrets, and fearsome enemies, like this little guy:
While exploring, you can also unlock different regions and POIs (points of interest) on your map. There will be quests, unique creatures, and fauna in many of those places. Exploration is also a key to exploring your pa... Whoops! Can’t tell anything more! No spoilers in our updates!
We’ll share more details about caves and the Exploration skill in one of our Kickstarter updates later on! If you don’t want to miss it, follow our page today!
Thank you!
