Dev Letter - What's Next?

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We're excited to share with you all what's in the works for Goblins of Elderstone and update you on our roadmap. We have so much planned. We recently released our first major feature update for the year, called Rule the Chaos. It's been one of the most impactful updates so far and features some of the most requested changes.
There's been a major rework to how Satisfaction and Rioting function, shifting away from rioting to what we call Chaos Actions.

We've also rebalanced various conditions and how they affect the goblins' moods. We've simplified these goblin moods by removing happiness, respect, laziness, and aggression. Now, the main satisfaction of a goblin is focus.
Understanding each of your goblins will be more straightforward, and their conditions will clearly show how they affect this satisfaction. To match this design update, we've revamped the goblin stat's UI with a more streamlined and user-friendly look, along with improved and informative built-in tooltips.

There has also been an extensive pass done on gameplay balancing, affecting almost every aspect of the game. You can check out the full details on our patch notes.
A fun new creature has been added to the traveling merchant; be sure to keep an eye out for them in the game.

We are already busy working on our next major feature update, called Divine Tech. This will introduce a new approach to gameplay, with improvements to the role of the gods and the building progression tree.
Following that, we will be working on an update called Treks of Elderstone, which will introduce a new track management system, and improvements to our goblin population usage mechanics. We'd also like to give a huge shout-out to all our players and fans on Discord.

Your excitement, feedback, and banter are always greatly appreciated. Thank you all so very much for your continued support.

If you're not already part of our Discord community, please come join us. As always, enjoy your time in Elderstone, and we look forward to sharing more with you real soon.
