Hello there!
We hope you are all well and healthy!
Yesterday we started our second playtest phase. We gave a copy of the game to a few close friends of ours and now we wait for their feedback.
Even though feedback from playtesters is important for every aspect of game development, we are currently depending on it for a few specific tasks!
As already mentioned in the last post, clothes now have stats. This means your character will get wet, cold and exhausted based on what kind of outfit you are wearing! For instance, a heavy backpack will make your stamina deplead faster, wearing light shoes will make your movement slightly faster and wearing a warm hat will help you against the harsh weather. Things like this need a lot of balancing and thats why we need a lot of feedback from our playtester!
In Addition to stats for clothes, a lot of new clothes and other items made their way into the game! We added a third backpack which is a medium sized knapsack. The game now features a small bag, the knapsack and the large travel backpack. Also fancy new clothes like a kimono, a fishermans shirt and a piece of armor where added. Berry juice, a slightly alcoholic beverage, is now beign sold at a few taverns as well!
Last but not least, we added a lot of npcs into the world! Most of them resemble friends of ours but as promised we also added one or two of our followers here on gamejolt! ;)
As soon as we got feedback from our playtesters, the next development phase will begin and we will get one step closer to an open alpha.
We hope this weeks devlog was a good read and that you all stay healthy!
