[h2]Future updates[/h2]

What you can expect in the upcoming updates? The team is now focused on laying the foundation for the farming era that introduces the player to new technologies. Through this, the player will be able to use animals to produce more resources, cultivate the land, and hence start proper production chains.




The player is expected to settle down, build up their base, employ more NPCs to their tribe, explore the map, and follow up the story quest.





The main areas we will be focusing on now are modular building, farming, and taming animals. Later on, we are also planning to introduce a Season System with a Winter / Summer cycle for more fun and challenging gameplay along with the sandbox mode.





We will be also adding new special NPCs and their fun questlines to the game world with continuous stories after each migration and some rewards.

Lastly, we are in the process of looking for help with more advanced game design a system balance.
