Testing reports
We are grateful for all the hard work that is done and continues to perform, testers are helping us to get more of the features done for a shorter period of time, besides the bugs they are finding.
Special thanks to amme he is helping a lot, really appreciated.
Currently, we are testing all the features in the MP session, this will help us to avoid the unexpected bugs.
Not a secret that games work differently in single-player and multiplayer.
Server browser and servers
We are working to make the server browser more UI friendly.
And our developers are currently working on implementing the possibility for players to create their own server.
We are currently negotiating with our partners regarding server rent.
Upcoming features
A lot of work has been done, yet a lot of work is still ahead.
Right now we are working on making the game world more alive.
With patch 0.5.0.0 the game will become more of a survival RPG, in which most of your actions will have consequences for the players.
Yet, the world will not just become alive, it will also become more dangerous, that’s why you’ll need to cooperate with your friends to survive.
Players will also be able to set traps to catch other players or patrolling scouts (NPC) of other factions.
Also, players will be able to master their skills of survival and killing, to become even more dangerous to their foes.
LORE
Besides all the above stated, we are working on LORE of the game, new factions with custom bonuses are coming to expand the game universe.
Player will need to decide which faction he is supporting.
He can also become an enemy to them all, which we do not recommend but surely will love to see.
