First of all, thanks for the support and warm welcome to Summa Expeditionis. It has been a real pleasure to read you through YouTube comments, messages in our Discord server, Twitter and of course, as wishlists ❤️
With that said, let's get to the news. We would like to share with you the advances in the development and integration of one of the basic areas of any good survival game during the early game: gathering.
Gathering
You will have to interact with the different resources at your disposal. Cut trees and turn them into logs or use your pickaxe to get stone, but also collect all kinds of mushrooms, branches, herbs or flowers. During the early game you won't have slaves or soldiers to do these tasks for you, so you'll need to master the different gathering mechanics to be efficient.
Stack
Before you have a warehouse, stack your resources near the best construction zones. Plan and look for the ideal places.
We've also integrated:
- Pickup and carry animations for heavier resources like logs or stones.
- Inventory, volume and weight of all resources.
- Movement speed adjustment based on inventory weight or heavy resource load.
- Spawn of resources, map and terrain.
- Start menu, legion selection and skin customization of your legionnaire
We are also very close to integrate HUNTING 🦌 which will be the theme of our next update. We'll share what animals will prowl your camp, their different behaviors and some first weapons.
It may seem like a humble first update, but be patient, it's just a first stone on the road. And you've heard before about Romans and roads 😙
If you have questions, we will try to answer the comments but the best place for it is our Discord server.
Thanks for your support!
Stay tuned, milites ⚔️
