Offsprings of the first men, once again, welcome back to another #FeatureFriday! ːlettuceː
This week has been an exciting mix of long-term planning and shorter-term updates. Half of our time was spent planning our next major update, and we'll continue doing so next week. We're excited about what's on the horizon and can't wait to bring you along on this journey. ːreexcitedː
But while we've been focusing on the future, we've also dedicated half of our time this week to adding more content. As promised, we've committed to keeping our word by ensuring regular updates every Friday. These weekly updates, no matter how minor or significant, help us keep the game fresh and exciting for all of you. ːgearthumbsupː
One of the exciting features we're soon going to introduce is a world map. This will enhance your understanding of your objectives and simplify navigation. This addition will make discovering regions more accessible and more engaging than ever. ːreimpressedː
But that's not all! Remember the Downtime activities that our characters used to engage in? They're making a comeback! Your characters will now have a life beyond their worktime activities and eating. They'll sleep, pee, smoke, have fun, and so much more. This adds a level of realism and depth to the characters and makes the world of TFM feel truly alive. ːreexcitedː
Now, it's time for our weekly changelog. Here's what we've been working on:
