Chapter 21: Next update 16 July or June - Details in the article
Welcome, Noble Lords and Ladies,
This one is a quick one as we are fully focused on the upcoming update and in a small company every second counts. The next update both game and written will be on 16 June or even 16 July. If you feel the need to ask if we are still alive - join us on Discord, we are there almost every day.
Reasons why it will take longer, to deliver all this great things we talked about last month.
[h2]1. Co-op[/h2]
Maybe best on an example. For every day of work for the single player, there are 6 days of work for co-op. I think I don't need to say more.
If we would first make a single player game, then add co-op to it. Not only half of you would be mad. But also we would go bankrupt, because adding co-op later is even more work consuming.
We are also working on removing host tethering completely. So brace up. It is worth the wait.
[h2]New game[/h2]
We don't want to deliver a simple update but a completely new experience. So we are taking care also about every detail that was neglected so far. Like icons, sounds, UI, language bugs etc., etc.
[h2]Chain of fixes[/h2]
We got to a point. Where adding or fixing one thing makes no sense without adding another one. So for example we started to make premade buildings with NPCs working in them, this NPCs of course have needs like warm, drinking, food. So we realized that you have no chance of feeding them without animals. And you have no chance of feeding the animals without fields. And I could write about 100s of chains like this.
[h2]Finish[/h2]
We work hard to get the game to a point. Where we don't have to do more forced wipes. And where making a "walkthrough" or "how to" will make sense, because the game will get new stuff, not rework the old things.
Have a great month. And I hope to hear again from you in July, when we will celebrate our 1st birthday.
