Hello, world! Penkura is now patched to version 0.1.7.3
Welcome to the patch 0.1.7.3, in this patch we focused on implementing the positive and negative effects system to player, bots, buildings, and every being in the game.
From now on, most of the items in the game have some kind of effect on the player, positive like minor regeneration or negative from strong drug effects, overdose to even extensive poisoning.
This is one of the balance methods we wanted to introduce to the game from the start. Rather than provide cooldown that will artificially limit the player from using (for example a stimpak) to heal himself. The player will be able to use stimpak at will but there is a chance of overdose which may lead to extensive poisoning if used more than once in a short amount of time.
This system will be greatly extended in the future with the addition of biochips that will shorten the time, weaken the effect or even change some of the negative effects to positive, and vice versa.
We also added new items to the game, and change some of the functionality of the already implemented ones, the reason for that is balance.
After the player reports and extensive conversations, we decided to balance some of the systems, mostly "nutrient". That lead to a boost of some of the flora and consumables to make it a bit easier to keep a steady nutrient level, and additionally, we added "stuffed" effect, which will halt diminishing of nutrient level for a short time after consuming something that added more nutrient than our possible max.
Next updates we will focus on additional player requested tutorial messages, tutorial videos, animations to the player protagonist, and of course more content.
Thank you to all the players who actively help us develop Penkura by pointing out possible changes that may improve the overall experience.
