Greetings!
I’ve come to you with news and some pictures. We’re currently working on the next patch, which seems like it’s going to be even bigger than the last major one.
I’ll briefly go over it now, but first, let me clarify that the next patch won’t be coming soon (for various reasons) - most likely, whoa, around the end of October. Yes, it’s a while away, but we also want to pack a lot into this patch, and that requires careful planning and artwork.
For example, we’ve already finished "Roadside Business" - a feature that allows you to set up food stalls on the roads and earn money from them. For instance, you can open a few shawarma stands. Or potato stalls. In total, we’ve come up with 11 different options, with possible duplicates.
Here’s a picture:
We also have a large amount of content work (requiring artwork and writing) related to problems in different locations. For example, someone attacks, something explodes, and you have to resolve the issue. The content is text-based, accompanied by images and action choices. We’ve called this "Location Troubles".
Here are some pictures:
Of course, we’ve already made some changes to the map interface to position the buttons more conveniently.
Right now, we’re planning to tackle new content with the working title "The Usual Suspects". Things would move faster, but this content includes gear for mercenaries to equip. At least, that’s what we’d like to do.
Also, in our near-term plans, we have content tentatively titled "Memories", which will allow you to replay battles against all the bosses you've previously defeated in the game.
So, that’s the news. We’ll share more pictures in the future, especially ones related to the "Location Troubles" content, so you know we haven’t abandoned the game (lol).
Naturally, we’re still active on Discord and the Steam community, implementing changes into the game (including some suggested by players - though not all, of course, since we’re the ones developing the game) that we believe are right, and so on.
