Hey everyone!
We get lots of great questions from the community so we’re aiming to pull out a couple of questions every couple of weeks to answer in a bit more depth.
We would love to invite you to join the Smalland discord to really get involved in the conversation which you can find here.
Off the back of the reveal of our lovely new artwork and screenshots, a couple of good questions came up that we thought would be great to address for our first FAQ Friday post!
Can we build on the side of trees?
We're currently working on a system where you can build anything you like, anywhere, but also have specific areas where you can build your intricate bases around a certain point, and then be able to move servers, play with old friends, new friends, by yourself, whatever, and take your base with you. This adds both creative freedoms but also lots of technical constraints and server details that we're looking into, but that's our goal.
The construction itself is a fairly standard approach to survival games, but weather and seasons also play into it. It's also going to be stylised around the lore of Smalland as there are certain characteristics that we want to reflect.
Can I ride on dragonflies?
Yes, you can ride on Dragonflies! They are found in areas of Smalland with still water and while they are more scarce, they do survive Autumn and Winter.
Because of how common they are, and that they are able to survive all seasons, the Dragonfly acts as a reliable noble steed and companion.
It has a method of attack but will rely on the player doing most of the work in combat. The Dragonfly is built for speed, so whilst it won’t have the highest health or armour, it’s fast and has the massive advantage of flight.
Hope you found that insightful and watch this space for regular updates on some deeper answers to your questions!
