April Recap and New Plans for Moving Forward
Hi everyone! Hopefully you are having a great spring! I'm going straight to the point about what today's devlog is all about. We want to keep you updated on what is happening behind the scenes and what will be happening next.
Cheaters
We are very aware of and share your frustration with cheaters, and we want to solve this issue as well. We have decided to add an anti-cheat solution back into the game, but before we can do that, we need to upgrade our engine version. This is not a small task but a necessary one to bring Longvinter forward and make it last for another 4 years. This upgrade will also enable us to add DLSS and the newest FSR upscalers to our game so we can have better image quality for low-end systems. We will be implementing this shift in update 1.1.
Update 1.1
We have now confirmed that the next update will feature pets you can have while traveling the Longvinter island. We will be sharing more about pets later, but here is a little sneak peek at what our artists have been working on!
Leveling System for Items
We have also been planning to add a completely new feature to the game in the form of item levels! Levels would affect items' values, and the higher the level, the better the item would be. For example, a level 1 Assault Rifle does only 3 damage, a level 5 Assault Rifle does 4 damage, and a level 10 does 5 damage. We are still working out the details and specifics of this system, but we want to hear your thoughts about it!
Comment to the post or let us hear your thoughts on Longvinter's Discord!
Last 2 Weeks to Earn Tackle Boxes
We also want to announce that tackle box drops will stop on May 23rd in preparation for the next one, so now is your last chance to earn tackle boxes.
