Video Developer Log #9 has just been uploaded to Youtube. This log continues its focus on the new mercenary hiring/firing system showing off all of its features. If you haven't watched part I, we recommend that you check that out first!
The player chooses which class of mercenary to hire from the Town Bulletin.
Mercenary Class Descriptions now have clickable icons for their Skills, Abilities, & Proficiencies.
The player can choose which level of mercenary to hire; the higher the level, the more expensive they are.
Daily Expenses: Mercenaries cost a daily wage due at sunrise (6:00am) every day; if the player can't afford them, they will leave taking any worn equipment or weapons with them.
After paying the initial mercenary wage to the Guild Office, you will find them waiting for you outside at the Town Bulletin.
Each mercenary class (6) have their own unique backstory and motivations.
The player can "sell" a mercenary back to a Guild Office; amount is based on experience level.
Your mercenary's name is generated randomly from a pool of 20 names (unique for each class); safeguards are in place so a mercenary will never have the same name twice or the player's name.
After watching the video, we would like to invite you to engage with us in feedback about what you saw and listen to suggestions and ideas that you may have to make this project even better. Feel free to leave comments here on Steam, on our Discord Server, Youtube channel, or X.
If you wish to support this project, you can Wishlist AoT on the main page; that gets us extra exposure on Steam.
Thank you and God bless!
