[h2]Welcome to the Perished City![/h2][p]
In a city marred by time a searching woman found a place, infested.
Her ailing body took root and healed, and soon she began providing.
The people, accepting her offerings, built a temple in her honor.
She became what was heralded, a beacon of care, a mother.

This major update brings you new locations, new quests, new characters, new enemies, and more. We hope you'll enjoy this.

[/p][p]Your old save games should be compatible with this update. For convenience there's also a shortcut from the main menu that lets anyone jump straight into the city content. If you stumble over any issue, please let us know, preferably via the F1 in-game feedback tool which helps us with some additional info from your current game situation. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]What's next?[/h2][p][/p][p]Next we’ll be focusing on the major content update covering the northern part of the wasteland. This will take some time and we plan to update the game in between with smaller content additions. Then there are a few improvements we want to make to the existing content. This will include looking at the item economy, player progression and the balancing. The final updates will be focused on adding the endgame locations and on fixing the remaining quality issues before we call it version 1.0.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It’s been a long road to get to this point, but the end is in sight. If you’re interested in what we are working on at any moment, you can take a look at my ongoing Development Log.[/p][p]Be well and remain hopeful.[/p][p]- Stephan [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h2]Full Update Notes 0.14 - The Perished City[/h2][p][/p][h3]New Content[/h3][p][/p][p]- added "The Perished City", which continues the main campaign, including new locations, quests, enemies, items etc.

Hey.

We put the content update “The Perished City” on the beta branch and would appreciate some feedback.

Our design goals for this and the further content updates are to improve the writing, especially the variety in how NPCs talk, add more depth to the narrative elements, add more player decisions, and have more visual variety among the locations.
It would be good to know if we’re on track with that.

The update needs more work in some areas, including balancing and itemization, and it’s currently separated from the main game still. There’s a separate entry for it in the “New Game” menu.
So I wouldn’t recommend it for a regular playthrough just yet, but if you want to help out with some feedback while it’s especially useful for us to see if we are meeting our design goals, then this is a good moment.

Here’s how to switch to the beta branch: https://steamcommunity.com/app/941460/discussions/0/3427823001996731965/
