v0.5: Yours to Keep

Hello you all! How've you been?

Again, we promised to make do on these updates, but we are still posting them late… Good news is that we are, as of now, up to date! 🎉

This is a rather small update, yet we put quite a lot of work into it, implementing new features is tough 😫 but totally worth it 💪.

Anyhow, let's jump right into it. This is the game's look so far!

Now let's break it down.

Keepsakes

The last few weeks we worked on getting items into the game, so to add gameplay variety and the ability to improve and customize your builds. It's not much, but now we have another area where we can easily add content in the future.

We thought a lot about what to name items in the game. We referred to them originally as relics. But the name seemed distant and impersonal. We wanted something closer, like a souvenir. These items belonged to someone, a child, a worker, or even you. And they hold not only memories but power.

In the future we'll add a codex, that will let you read an object's past, as told by the Innkeeper. 

Now, if you want one, you get one whenever you defeat a miniboss (the nodes on the map with cooler icons). 

Once acquired, they are put here:

I know… you can barely see them, but fret not, we are working on it!

The hand

As you may have noticed, there is a hand holding the bowl now.

It's a severed hand of an ancient being, one who yearned for the will to do more, and was able to get it through ill means. It is now cast into gold and serves as it did in life. 

And that's it for this post! I know it's not much, but I promise next time we'll get a whole new look.✨

See you next time!
