Hello Citizens,
I'm glad to introduce the 4th of our regular updates to the game. We will keep adding new content & features until v 1.0.
We are aiming for 3 major updates until version 1.0 and we will slowly unfold that plan. We are listening very carefully to all the complaints and new design ideas and trying to schedule them in an effective way.
Schedule System Early Steps
We always wanted to design a city with lots of movement and things to do on every corner. Schedule system would allow us to to program NPC's and objects in the city so that they would appear and disappear at certain hours of the day.
This week we've implemented that to two actions: Running with Jack & Jake brothers or doing yoga with Luis. After you complete their quests, at a certain time of the day, you'll have a chance to do some sports with those guys.
On upcoming weeks, we will add new actions like this and we will set the opening and closing times of shops and offices.
Later, we will set the schedule of NPC's so they would be on other parts of the city according to the day and time of the day.
The final stage of that would be to implement a pathfinding system so that NPC's and other extras in the city will start walking around, heading to their destination.
New Content
- The restaurant Solange is now accessible with two different quests and another secret way.
- Magnus Gym requires a weekly membership card to be able to use the gym.
- A new friendship reward has been added to dreamworld. The "tree tree"
- Running with Jack & Jake
- Doing yoga with Luis
- Option to paint the Green Church
Bug Fixes and visual updates
- Actions target single objects now. So no more using the same item on multiple objects (mining, adding fuel, feeding napsheeps etc)
- Minor issues
NEXT WEEK
We will keep working on the schedule system and we will bring new items to the Dreamworld.
We are still working on the mouse implementation and there is a high chance we can go for a full redesign of the UI, so this might wait for our next major update.
Let us know what you think and what you want to see more in the game.
Have a nice weekend!
