Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.
The current development on Jiru Island is more or less like Scandinavia in the 12th century of our world; we have a major force, the Nise Federation, which believes in their ancient god hero king, who may or may not be Jesus of Christianity in a parallel universe, is now taking over the majority of the island. However, there is also the Dolovian tribe in the north, who still follow their old Pagan-like faith, worshiping a living wolf goddess who walks among them. But then, unlike on the real-life Earth, some strange supernatural machines suddenly start to attack both sides. As such, there is a great deal of chaotic drama unfolding right now.
The Dolovian remains a major player in this conflict. Thus, this week, I am covering their faith and religion. However, before we delve into such content, since we are discussing religions and faith, I think it's time to introduce a real-life-based faith tenet here as well.
Yes, that's about Charlie Kirk again. Even after two developer's diaries, I don't think we are done talking about him yet. This week, a Cardinal of the Holy See commented that he was a modern-day Saint Paul. Although I am not familiar with the Catholic Church's canonization process, I trust the judgment of the Cardinal. So, we shall have a new "Saint Charlie Kirk" faith tenet with features that reflect his great deeds in debate and his ability to convert others in the game. Feel free to add this faith tenet to your customized faith in the game. Followers of the Christian faith in the game receive a devotion discount when doing so. I know we have many players who love and respect him. May his legacy continue to live on.
Now, let's go back to the Dolovian side of the story. They almost survived the last world reset event totally intact. Thus, players from the old SAPC++ era may find the following content familiar.
First, their living wolf goddess, known as Beasthrys.
She brought their ancestors out of the Ice Age, taught them how to survive following nature's law, where the strong survive and the weak perish. Thus, this is a slightly more war-like faith, gaining devotion by defeating enemies rather than sitting in prayer.
She also has a templar in the Dolovian camp. Her priestess can unlock this faith for you and tell you more about her tales.
Her statue and those wolf statues are also furniture items you can purchase to put in your home in your pocket dimension.
Next come some new tenets related to their faith.
They love wolves. There are a lot of wolves near their camp. Maybe it's because they worship a wolf goddess, maybe because they enjoy the company of those big dogs. Anyway, we get this new tenet that allows people who have it in their customized faith to gain devotion by just petting wolves.
It also makes all the wild wolves no longer hostile. Thus, furthermore, it gives those with good speech skills a chance to convince wolves to join them as allies without a fight. (You can still attack them if you want. Meanwhile, this effect does not apply to werewolves. They are still hostile.)
A certain faction within the Dolovian also highly values covert operations and fear tactics. Thus, they follow the Phantom Doctrine to sneak through enemy lines quietly and spook them by suddenly transforming into deadly predators. The tenet itself is pretty simple. It's just a sneak skill boost. But here is an easter egg. Phantom Doctrine is actually a quite good tactical game developed by some Polish game developers. Unfortunately, the project seems to have been abandoned during the development of an action-based sequel. So, in memory of the fallen, the tenet is named after that game.
Both of these new tenets are generic, always available, unlocked by default, and can be added to any of your customized faiths.
Now, let's put things together to take a look at the big picture of the Dolovian faiths.
Traditionally, it's quite simple.
It's just a faith worshiping a wolf goddess, those wolves, and encourages people to be strong to defend their home.
However, where there is a church, there is a cult. Even within the same religion, people can hold differing beliefs. As such, there are deviations. For example, Duin, the spymaster of the Dolovian, may have gone a bit too far in forming his own cult with his followers.
In addition to faith and religion, we shall also have more content about your relationship with them.
Thus, they become another entry you can check in your relationship menu once you have made contact with them.
Your relationship with them can directly affect the item price of their merchants. If they like you, they will offer you significant discounts. In the future, as the story develops further, you will have various opportunities to improve or harm your relationship with them, and this relationship value will also impact other content.
The relationship value of the Dolovian people is calculated separately from the relationship value of their three leaders. Thus, it's possible that their leaders may not like you, while those people respect you.
To fill in the blank of the last leader, the relationship entry for Charadon has also been set up. But it's currently locked.
It will unlock once you meet him in his tent. The tent is ready, but the story is still a work in progress. Therefore, it is likely to happen next week when we get there.
That's for this week. Next week, I will likely focus on the story. However, the Steam Autumn sale will also take place next week. It's likely going to be a lot of distractions. We will see how it works out. :)
