Dear Traveller,
We're approaching the end of the first week of Book of Travels Chapter Zero. I think it's safe to say that we all wish that we could have offered a better start to it, especially in terms of server stability. Right now we're in a much better place and we love seeing you exploring Braided Shore with such enthusiasm and inquisitiveness, but the weight of the frustration that many of you experienced on launch day is not lost on us. We've said it before and we're saying it again – we're sorry for that, and we're very thankful for the patience you've showed us.
Now, on to more exciting things...
Colours of the wind
So, what are we doing right now? The current task ahead for the development team is to stabilise the game, remove bugs and make all interactions smoother, removing instances of locking or hindering the player and other quality of life fixes. But on top of that we are very eager to address some of the more common suggestions and wishes that you've put forward for us.
A more personalised character creation is probably on the very top of the list of popular requests, and we agree that Book of Travels very much so would benefit from that. Below you can see some concepts for upcoming changes to character customisation and some new tweaks to the emotes feature.
With these changes you'll be able to change the height, skin colour, hair style and clothing tear for your Traveller when creating them. It will go a long way to make your particular character feel unique, we feel. As for the emotes rework, it's an idea we had a while back that we think will make for a more understandable system that distinguishes between emotes and symbols, and separating them in a nice way. You get the idea when you look at the image.
Again, thank you so much for being with us on this journey, and for playing Book of Travels. And remember, you can always jot down any ideas you have in our pinned thread Suggestions & Ideas. We don't have the time to reply to all of them but we are definitely paying attention!
Best wishes,
Oliver & The Dev Team xx
