What an awesome week for the game it has been!
Once again I can't thank you guys enough for the support. It makes such a difference and I hope my last few Social Media posts showed my appreciation!
Okay enough of the sap....what have I been doing with my time?
Let's get into it. Beta Patch 036.
Firstly, there was a desire for player's to know where they were at in terms of their Merchant Status in grand scheme of things...and just having a number to look at didn't do it for them. So I've added a Progress Bar for that (perhaps not the final look) so you can get an idea:
You'll also notice a new Strength and Stamina stat as well. You will earn strength for pushing/pulling your cart around and carrying things:
Stamina system has also drastically changed and is much more dynamic:
NO MORE RUINING YOUR GAME BECAUSE YOUR 1 CART IS GONE!
Carts and an upgrade for each cart has been added as I continue to bolster and test the Cart Upgrade System. Wagon traders will have carts available to purchase anytime you want.
Oh...carts can also receive damage now....this will be adjusted and balanced!
