V0.3.22 Major Steam Content Update and Bug Fixes
Hey Everyone!
This is the last Major Content Update for 2021, though there will be plenty more to come throughout 2022. It's a chunky amount of content however, with new quests, NPCs, adult content, crafting, and a sackful of bugfixes to boot.
Winter Winds
Our new seasonal content features the addition of a huge new 'Extreme Exotic NPC' in the form of an Ancient Dragon (yes, she has adult content). This massive addition to the world isn't just for Christmas though, she's integral to a side story that we'll continue to develop in the coming months. For now she has only a single scene (it's repeatable), but this will expand over time.
As part of the Winter Winds content, players can also now craft the Frost-Forged Weapons. Currently these are a damage upgrade on the lower tier, however we'll be adding elemental effects to these (and other unique items) in time.
Looking Good
As we work towards remaking the clothing to be compatible with the customisation system, we've entirely remade our Anubite Warriors. We're aiming to make all our new content to this much higher standard, as we try to bring the look of the game as close to AAA as possible for a 5-person indie team.
Not only are our new Anubites more detailed as NPCs, but all of the garments are usable to the player - you can even mix and match the head, chest, and lowerbody sections.
Playable Races
It wouldn't be a major update without a new species to explore the world with. To this end we've added the new Female Jackal form.
Our Demi-Human races (Hybrids) have also been reintroduced to the game, so the 'Egyptian Deity' aesthetic is once more a playable option. All these and the new Jackal forms are entirely compatible with the customisation, so play with those sliders to your heart's content.
New Quests
This update brings with it another new, voice-acted quest, on top of the one included as part of the Winter Winds content. Law & Order Tasks you with tracking down a thief who has been plaguing the markets by the docks, something the Merchant's Guild is none too happy about. This of course means more NPCs, so we're also introducing the NPC-only Minoan race in this update. Not every species is elegant and athletic, these hulking brutes are far more interested in counting their profits than in gallivanting about, as you'll discover in future updates.
Bringing the World to Life
Various new tweaks have also taken place with the world, from adjustments to lighting to the addition of new ambient particles. As you wander through flower fields you'll now see butterflies fluttering past, dirt tracks will have dusct and sand kicked up by the wind. Generally the world has a little more visual polish to give it that living, breathing feel.
I'm Horny
The missing horns are back! No longer will Dhasha troll you with a trek across the entire map only to give you sweet nothing as a reward. The reworked Northern Horns are once again a cosmetic item in-game. Did this warrant a section all to itself? Possibly not. Am I going to devote this entire section to it anyway? Who the hell is going to stop me... mwhahahAHAHAH!
Bug Hunt
From terrain glitches to that $%£?&@# save issue, we've been tracking down the rarest and juciest nasties we could lay our hands on. It's still pre-alpha, it's still not perfect, but it should be far more stable.
The Best of What's Left
From cooking to new voice acting, there's a load more that's changed than we can detail in full - check out the patchnotes below for a full rundown of the new content/changes in this update.
Thank You
From all five of us, have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year. We'll be back with the next major update before you know it, thank you again for your incredible support.
