Hey gang!

It has been a while since I've posted anything regarding the game's development and I thought I'd take a moment to do that.

The next update 0.10.0.0 Sacred Scrolls is quite big. One thing that I really wanted to focus on for this update was progression. For a lot of the game's development, I've focused on systems to broaden the game's possibilities, and quality of life improvements to help user experience. I've largely neglected adding too much content because it's harder to add new systems if you have to make sure all the previous content isn't broken as a result. So, when I say progression, I mean two things namely: content (more blueprints, items, props) and tuning.
Alongside this progression work, I've also changed and improved how combat and taming works. Combat behaviour has totally been re-written as it was super frustrating and buggy. i.e., warriors not going to targets. Taming now works in a completely different way as players were getting confu... Read more

In the next update, I've changed it so training dummies are:
-Very difficult to destroy.
-Quick to build.
-Quick to deconstruct.
This should fix the issue of builders always having to use resources and time to keep the barracks stocked with training dummies. Warriors/Archers/Mages will still lose energy training there and will stop training when depleted which is the main trade off to get the xp.

Thanks! :)

Agreed about making professions like Leatherworker more viable/important. The current state is just a product of me not having added all the items/blueprints to the game yet. The upcoming version will have a lot more things like this to round out the progression a bit better.

I think the best solution is to just let the players decide how many days it takes to age people up by a year. 1 day being the default setting, maybe going as high as 10-15 days or higher.

Right now people live so short that I don't feel like investing in their skills is worth it. I can rename people but I don't feel bothered to do so since they just die after a year or two anyways. If someone dies in combat it doesn't feel like that big of a deal they were going to die soon anyways.

There's pros and cons to each type of setting. Which is why it should be player choice in some options menu.

If I want to do a hermit playthrough I'd like my character to last a very long time. So a 15 day per year setting would help here. But if you're trying to play some grand civilization you'll probably want them to age as they do now. So they can make babies and have the children age up into adults ASAP. Most people would probably want something in the middle, a modest amou...

Ya, once I add modding support, this will likely be something players will edit as it's a very easy value to change in the game data.

Odd Question: for those that got the game through the bundle for racial equality, how do we access updates?

The itch app has a little gear beside the install button. You just have to install the latest version from there.

I'm looking through your Trello now so sorry if it's in there and I haven't seen it yet. But a mixed race settlement would be awesome. Maybe nomads etc of other races could potentially randomly join at a low possibility, unlocking race-specific options?

Would also be great to have some in-game clue as to whether randomly found plants are actually useful or not. Should I farm bur clover, lady's harp, etc, or are they a waste of settler time, and space? who knows? :/

Mixed race settlements are planned but I didn't have that card in the trello list. I've added it now! Thanks.

I will be adding more info for all items. It has just been more of a polish task that I haven't gotten to.

Thanks for the feedback!

Alright. Here are the instructions to get into the beta builds:

Alternatively, you can wait a bit for the beta version to go to production. Probably at the end of the week. Up to you.

The beta branch has a fix for this you can try out!

Here's the game's trello page which details the roadmap for the 1.0 version of the game, some suggestions I've noted, as well as full bug/task tracking for each version I put out:

https://trello.com/b/NZ5CUtEA/odd-realm-bugs-and-feature-plan

The main features I want to have done for the 1.0 version of the game are:

-3 more playable races, each having their own unique playstyles (Gwdir, Ardyn, Tomek).

-Trading, scouting, attacking neighbors, and more overworld map actions.

-Town Hall - Used as a gathering place when the bell is r...
