Outcast Tales: The First Journey News

Hi, everyone! Today we’re going to introduce you to another wasteland dweller - Mommock!



Mommock is one of the rare desert animals tamed by humans. It’s often used as a beast of burden, means of transportation or simply as an emergency food supply.



Mommocks are well known for being calm creatures: in most situations, they pose no threat to anyone. However, once you get them cornered, those fluffy goofballs turn into unstoppable killing machines.



Try not angering the beast and stay alert in the desert!

Hi, everyone!
Today we’ll tell you about the team creation process in Ragtag Crew.



Every journey you’ll have to recruit a squad of three people, each one with unique abilities and traits. You can put your trust in fate or create all of them manually.



If you choose to do the latter, you have to think about two important details:

Background - determines what the character used to do before getting into this venture. It will define the crewmember’s appearance, initial abilities and skills. Abilities you can learn across the journey are affected by background choice as well.



Personality - defines who is crewmember now. Personality consists of one positive and one negative trait, affects character skills and the way they speak. On top of that, it will determine how this person will interact with their teammates and the environment.



Each team member is unique, so it’s not possible to pick the same background or personality for multiple characters. But differences between them is what makes it fun.

Get your team together and stay alert in the desert!

Hi, everyone!
Today we introduce you to the new background you can choose for you characters - Technomancer!



The Age of Miracles is gone and mankind's technological achievements are lost in time. Technomancers are here to change that: their guilds all across the civilized lands gather technology of old. Those people of science research it with mixed success hoping to resurrect knowledge of the long gone days. For simple minded folks, guild gadgets look indistinguishable from magic, but even the technomancers themselves don’t fully understand the artefacts they work with.



Unlike Bandit or Veteran, Technomacer is a full support character, unable to access elimination type abilities. To make up for that, she can learn both manoeuvres and support type abilities. If you use her toolkit right, you’ll turn your enemies lives into the nightmare, while your crew will be on top of their game.

Let’s look at her starting abilities:

Project force field - Technomancer uses her power glove to project a force field on an ally. This effect will give your crewmember shields, which act like health points until the end of the fight.

Find weakness - Technomancer uses her scanner to analyze an enemy’s defence, making it vulnerable for the rest of the fight. Any attack against it will now deal bonus damage!
On top of that, you can always use her basic attack to propel scrap right into foes’ faces.

Gather technology, outmanoeuvre your enemies and stay alert in the desert!

Hi, everyone!
Today we’re going to talk about Personality.



Personality is one of two key characteristics you have to pick when creating a crew member. It helps define your starting skills and affects how the character sees the world and interacts with it. Personality will define the manner of speech, reactions to events, starting relationships and much more.

Each personality comes with a positive and a negative trait. Most of the time one of them will revolve around events, while the other will have an effect in the battle.

Here are some examples:


Daredevil - your character is reckless and daring. They like to put everything on the line for the sake of their enjoyment. They may get into trouble during the journey or throw a tantrum if you choose to avoid the risk, but they also inspire everyone with their crazy stunts during combat.


Lone wolf - your character has seen the truth about the world and it was ugly as hell. They don’t trust anyone or anything that is coming their way especially if it’s a good thing. Most of the time that pays off and you evade the unexpected danger. But that comes at a cost: at the start of the journey, Lone Wolf sees other crew members as two potential enemies.


Hermit - your character has become tired of constant bloodshed and left the “civilization” for a while. They found a way not only to survive, but to become one with nature. Now they are back with a friend: a desert beast, that accompanies them. However, Hermit’s distaste for unnecessary violence is still present and it may get into your way more than once.

And that’s not all:

Stay tuned to learn more and stay alert in the desert!
