We’re working away on all of the new content for the next Major Update. In the meantime…

📢Alpha Survey #5 is now live!

Our next Survey is now ready for submissions. As always, we really appreciate every response to these surveys - they’re invaluable for us, both to gauge our recent progress, and to help inform how we proceed with development.

This survey is mainly focused on the most recent Major Update, covering Hunting, UI Changes, Mastery Guild and XP tweaks, and more. It should take around 5 minutes to complete (depending on how much you want to write 👀).

You can fill out the survey here:

🏋️ What the team have been working on 

Here’s what the team has been working on since our last post! 

Development

Malcs:

• Implemented all base enemy & equipment data required to begin internal Combat testing.

• Began working on mechanical updates to Herblore.

• Onboarded Prat to use the internal Data Editor tool, which allows him to add content directly to the game and test.

Coolrox:

• Continuing to work on the systems for Combat. 

• Working on an updated Data Editor, which will simplify adding content, adjusting stats and modifiers etc. 

• Also cleaned up our git repository to streamline new changes.

• Implemented “Conditional Modifiers” - modifiers that are only active if you meet a certain criteria. E.g. +10% Maximum Hit if you are fighting in a Slayer Zone

• Began working on implementing Slayer & its mechanics.

Game Design

Prat:

• Continuing to iterate on Combat designs, planning out content for addition once the systems are in place.

• Learned how to use the Data Editor tool, allowing Prat to directly add content to the game himself and test.

Artwork

Tapi:

• Created loads more artwork for hunting! Including new animals and variations, artwork for items (tracking sticks, binoculars, whistles, lanterns, and all their variations).

• Now working on new Skill backgrounds, starting with Ranching!

Conclusion

Please remember to fill out the Survey if you can! The responses we’ve had to previous surveys have really helped us understand what you all want from the game, so keep them coming!
