Public Progress Update: Current Workload (Patreon)

Hi all,

New Year, New Updates. We're currently working on several different parts of the game at once, so that we can work towards DSS 2.0 whilst also pushing a smaller update in the meantime. There will be individual posts regarding these as we go, but for now here's the birds eye view of some of what we're doing right now...

Quality of Life & Bugfixes

Everything from fixing sliding textures, combat improvements, and new UI work, gaining essence from slain mobs, and enemies that no longer chase you forever. There's a boatload of minor and major bugfixes already done and a lot of others on our radar.

Enemies & Exotics... and Ophyx

We miss the scaled aquatic predators that lurk the waterlogged edges of the Euphoris, so these "basic" crocodilians will be returning shortly. They're far from the only denisens of the crocodile demigod's domain that are planned, but they're a much needed threat to the damper parts of Sabu.

A chunky crocodilian-themed exotic NPC will also make an appearance, for now I'll leave the details to your imagination... but they'll get a post all to themselves soon enough.

Ophyx will hopefully also be making their debut appearance, though technically they're already mentioned in dialogue. These serpent/chickens are kept for their eggs and meat, and will be a common sight in the poorer farms and villages.  Still on the drawing-board stage, there's some work yet to go on these flying serpents.

Worldbuilding & Quests

We've blocked out a large new zone to dovetail with the new enemies and content, whilst existing zones have added content. To make things feel more alive we've also got fishing and harvesting as working prototypes (Moswen will be more than happy to show you how to properly use a rod...).

New upcoming quests include a crocodile's harem, a standoff with slavers, and an inquisitor with doubts.

Nenu

A new song about a busty drake girl. This is the most important part of what we're working on.

DSS 2.0 & Romance

This needs an entire post to itself, so watch this space.
