The Withering 2.0.0.6 update is now live!
General Information
Hello everybody! The new update for the 2.0 version has been released earlier today and in this announcement I would like to go over some of the new features that I introduce with this update as well as talk about some of the things coming in the next update.
New Camp Elements
The camp management interface has been expanded with the new features. Players now have access to manage the Living Quarters, Workshop and Marketplace. Each of these camp structures now produce different types of goods and Living Quarters now produce population recruits.
Each structure's output item is governed by different stats of the structure. Players can now construct addons to increase structure's productivity and gain better output items.
Additional structures will be added in the future updates.
City Map Expansion
The free roam City map has been expanded in this update and an entire section of the Skyway underpass is now available for exploration and scavenging. There are several areas in the city that are currently reserved for future feature deployments.
The Horde
A new enemy type is joining the game, and players will now encounter groups of infected roaming the streets.
What Comes Next
For the next update I am focusing on the Camp Management features and Free Roam city map construction. The camp management gameplay elements will be expanded with new features like missions, diplomacy and camp reputation related expansions.
