RINSED - Devlog #8


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!

In the depth of the mine, the rare glow-stone ore can be found! It is used all around the midlands to power lanterns and is a great, safe, alternative to candles!

Working on a new ship and looking for a name! The best suggestion will make it into the game :)

Post your suggestions on here or over at our discord. A winner will be picked within the next few days!

(The name should fit into the game's world)

Soon you will be a part of it.

As the glow stone cave was flooded and then isolated from the outside world for a few hundred years, it developed its own unique and oddly strange flora and fauna!

Farmers crazy enough to grow food in the harsh conditions of the northern isles often need to use a few tricks to protect their plants! This seaside farmer has stacked lots of rocks high enough to protect his crops from the cold wind.

In 2019, 6 young adults disappeared in and around Blackwood County, Virginia, USA. 

Now it is all up to you.

I'm more than excited to launch this games EARLY ACCESS! Its really been a passion project for me and I cant wait for your feedback! :)

Finally happy with the "indoors" part of the game! Adding a small, closed off area to the open world of the forest was challeging but worth it. Lots of enviromental story telling in this one! :)

Exploring uncharted Islands always comes with a risk! What creatures lurk in the dark forests? What treasures await you in the distant ruins?

Make sure to pack some soup because travelling between islands will soon come to RINSED!

If you ever wanted to get a better/closer look at your nemesis, this is her! During development I nicknamed her "Emma"

Just a little clip of me building a frighter ship! MONONAUTS is a little demo experiment which I made within a few days. Try it out and tell me what you think! :)
