Hello Daturans, welcome to devlog #4.
This month is about large radiators, a new weapon, more basebuilding pieces, a shopkeeper NPC, apartments, a bank, and graffiti. As always, please keep in mind that everything we are about to show is "Work In Progress" and may change in the future.

Radiators!
We have been working on some new basebuilding furniture. It is all about Radiators this month.
As you know, Datura City is going through a harsh winter. Maintaining body temperature is an important part of the gameplay. To retain body heat, proper clothing, food, and preparation matter when traveling away from base. While in base, special furniture can be crafted to keep your base warm. Install Radiators to generate heat using renewable or non-renewable electricity.
We have finished LV1 and LV2 radiator concepts. Their modeling is in progress. LV3 radiator concept is a work in progress. Should be able to show it next month.

Mack Carter - The Mechanic
Meet our new NPC. He owns the auto repair shop. You will be able to barter with him to buy and sell basic raw materials, repair kits, and other items.
He is the first of many shopkeepers. Different shopkeeper NPCs will have different categories of items to buy and sell.

Propaganda vs Vandalism
Cults, propaganda, and corporate greed are some of the core themes of our world. We want to showcase that through environmental storytelling. We are in the process of finding the right style that fits our world. These are all WIP art. Once we have built a good library of these artworks, we will decide how to polish and distribute them in the world.
That concludes this month's devlog. Thank you for reading. See you on the next devlog!
