Hello!
This is the final message of the year, and it's time to wrap things up.
The summary is: overall, everything is good.
We have already begun work on a new zone (Wasteland), and we have a lot planned for it.
And, in the same patch, we will also add a lot to the existing game, of course - all sorts of changes, additions, and improvements.
You might have questions about why our Roadmap is structured the way it is. The thing is, we have had a global plan since the Early Access launch: we gradually opened up different zones of the game, and now we are working on the Wasteland. Our Roadmap consisted of about five items, and the Wasteland wasn't even in it initially - we drew a desert on the west side of the map, players assumed there would be a desert in the game, and we decided to add it.
Similarly, as I've said many times, a lot of what gets added to the game comes from players - their tips, suggestions, and feature ideas. I never tire of repeating that this is the whole point of Early Access.
Of course, we very often ignore feedback from players who have only played for 30–60 minutes. Why? You can probably figure that out yourselves.
This wonderful year, we added many ways to increase reputation in locations, including cutting the required reputation in half - not in numbers, but in the amount gained (i.e., we doubled reputation gains). We added many mercenaries, quests, and goods. And it's all in the same spirit: more, better, broader, higher, and so on and so forth.
As always, we are open to advice, suggestions, and hints, and while the final decision rests with us - and we don't implement good suggested ideas immediately - don't doubt it: work is underway.
P.S.: We will definitely add a warning to the game that if a player is still weak but carrying a lot of goods, this will be pointed out. It seems some players overlook this detail.
That's all for now. Thank you for your attention, feedback, and support.
Yours, A. and V., and Happy New Year!
