Hello Lumberjacks and Lumberjills,
It’s the end of February and that means that it’s time for our next Lumberjack’s Dynasty monthly update. If you are curious about how the production is going: sit back and read it all right here.
Let's start with the treasure chests, which we recently added to our game. If you played Farmer’s Dynasty, you know exactly what we are talking about. These chests are scattered around the world, hiding from plain view. No matter where these chests are, one thing is certain - there are interesting items hidden inside, waiting to be picked up. Those items are a great way to boost your finances, or you can use them as a gift for that someone special. The choice is all yours.
This month we’ve also managed to work a lot on the mechanics of the game itself. To be more specific, we polished the rebuilding functionality. Rebuilding materials are now integrated with the item manager and player inventory. Materials you pick up will now be in your inventory, and they can be used directly from there. You can also assign an F-key shortcut to any material (you can do it with other tools too). Only one kind of material can be lifted at a time, meaning that you can’t carry the whole store of materials as people aren't a walking warehouse (although it would be very useful during a large sale 😉). Once you've used up all the materials you picked up, you must pick up new ones from the next material palette.
While remaining about renovations, we want to mention that we recently added over 800 new building parts for rebuilding with different materials to the game. More materials mean more repairs, which means more fun.
And finally, forest areas are being revamped. We want the game to have many diverse trees - after all, having more diverse forests means more fun in a game about a Lumberjack. Each forest will have its own specific tree species, so if you need a particular kind of wood, you first need to locate the forest in which that tree grows.
This was just a taste of some of the things that we were working on during the last month. There is a lot more happening behind the scenes too. If you want, we are more than happy to share more of these production insights with you - just let us know in the comments below. And don’t forget that you can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Discord Server too - we would love to see you there and keep you in the loop.
Thanks for spending some time with us!
Until next time,
Your Lumberjack’s Dynasty Team
