Patch 0.4.0 is here, and I'm really excited to start getting some of the early lore and story in to the game with this update. There's not a huge amount of quests yet, but writing the entire questing system from scratch was a very large task, so rather than waiting for a novel's worth of quests before we begin testing the new system, I'm going to roll it out with a handful, get them tested, tweak, and then continue to update and add more with every update going forward.
Quests can be obtained in the same menu as vendor's inventory (there's a tab on the top that says Quests). This menu will evolve quite a bit once there is some verbal dialogue added, but for now it's just text.
The quest text changes based on whether the quest is complete or not.
Quests should function regardless of play (single player, co-op, and on servers).
As always, please report any bugs (which are to be expected with a brand new system made from scratch).
Thank you for your continued support, feedback, and kind words!
