Hello everyone, we are Wutiao Shrimp Studio,
First off, let us wish all our friends an early Happy New Year!
***The Eastern Sacrifice*** is an idle cultivation management game with sect-building elements. Since the release of the playable demo, we’ve received a lot of bug reports and optimization suggestions. We’re incredibly grateful to all of you😭—your feedback has been a huge help, and we’ll continue to work hard!
Feel free to add the game to your Steam wishlist and try the demo
★ *The Eastern Sacrifice* combines idle management gameplay with Lovecraftian-inspired cultivation themes. In the chaotic and frenzied world of cultivation, fight evil spirits, gather rare materials, and build a devoted sect that worships you as their supreme leader. Gather faith to construct your divine golden avatar and ascend to claim supreme powers, becoming the legendary Grand Arbiter.
Following the Lunar New Year, we plan to release a demo update in late February! Here's a sneak peek at what’s coming:
---
### **• Disciple Traits**
1. **Custom Backgrounds:** Zhang Xiaofan, Ye Fan, and Shi Hao will now feature unique traits based on their backstories. Incoming disciples from outside the sect will also draw from an expanded pool of random traits.
Whether you attract prodigies with divine talents or freeloaders with little use depends on the strength of your sect's faith!
2. **Trait Preferences:** Disciples will now have varied preferences, such as higher HP, stronger martial arts damage, faster cultivation speeds, or affinity with specific skill branches.
3. **New Buffs and Skill Adjustments:** We've added fresh buffs and updated skills to enhance gameplay diversity.
---
### **• Mystic Trials**
1. Every time disciples are sent to explore a mystic realm, they’ll return with loot—but the paths to the same realm may disappear upon their next visit.
Mystic realms are unpredictable, and when exploration reaches its limit, the realm upgrades. This might yield richer resources or deadlier enemies.
2. **Elite Monsters:** New elite enemy designs are being tested.
3. **Combat Tutorial Enhancements:** Improved guidance for combat systems.
---
### **• Sect Administration Hall**
1. **Daoists of Steel:** Identify mortals with unique physical and spiritual traits, erase their emotions, and engrave seals upon their bodies. These Daoists will possess extraordinary strength, remain tireless, and obey your commands without question.
2. **Auto-Recycling:** Idle or unproductive Daoists can now be automatically recycled.
**Auto-Allocation:** Daoists will only be assigned to already-active projects without initiating new work or production tasks.
3. **Workflow Customization:** Added functional entries and judgments for subsystems, enabling players to tailor workflows for better management.
---
### **• Reincarnation System**
1. **Inherited Resources:** Adjustments to resource inheritance conditions for new runs.
2. **Loading Screen & Animation:** Added visual flair for reincarnation sequences.
3. **Remapped Worlds:** Re-rolled maps after reincarnation.
(New reincarnation and cycle-related content is currently in development and on its way!)
