Patch 1.0.10 makes a fundamental overhaul to the world generation algorithm.
We're excited to showcase full village generation for the first Era!
- Villages now spawn with houses, torches, roads, town halls, and cooking stations
- Singular village type exists at this time, but will spawn randomly
- Future patches will include seed variations
- Some villages will spawn with specialists such as blacksmiths
- All villages will have cooking stations, rest beds, and tavern shops
- Villages include custom music tracks
In addition to village generation, we added over a dozen new resources for harvesting!
- New ruleset includes denser forests
- New rock assets
- New Ruins assets
- Resource depletion rates will now vary based on size
Players can now gain experience and leveling through world interactions!
- Level progression is marked on the bottom left corner of your screen
- Enemies will drop experience points that are absorbed by the player
- Most interactions will provide experience, including resource depletion and cooking
- No stat changes are present in this build, but in the future they will be class dependent
- New locations will be marked with a discovery event panel
Lastly, we expanded and improved upon saving to include all customizable game elements!
- Experience and level
- Keymapping
- Graphics, sound and gameplay options
- Depleted resources, cooking ingredients and cooked dishes
- Tasklist entries and discoveries
