Dev Diary 123: Hunting Season (Patreon)

Hello, Muties! I hope you're enjoying your summer break.

It's been some time since my last dev diary. The primary reason is a two-week summer break I took to recharge, especially as we approach 2024 when a significant release is slated. For those who need a refresher, our aim is to complete the main story by the end of 2023.

Initially, the main quest centers on hunting down escaped prisoners to ensure the big, bad ODYSSEUS leaves you in peace to enjoy your newfound freedom. On that note, I've been working on a feature that allows players to track all the escaped prisoners on the world map. 

Given that they fled Tibbets around the same time as you, it's realistic that you'd encounter them as you traverse the wasteland. If you happen to meet them in their respective towns either before or after, they won't appear in the world map encounters anymore. Once I've wrapped up that segment, my next focus will be "unlocking" the remaining 50% of Tibbets for further exploration and storyline progression. I know some players commented how Tibbets was big, but you've only seen half of it!

Talk to you soon with more radioactive news,
