Ahoy mateys!
We wanted to give you a quick overview on what we've been working on and what you can expect for the next update. Please keep in mind that while we are trying to keep content flowing at a decent rate, our small team (2 people) is currently split between working on the PS5 port of the game and new content for upcoming updates. That being said, the PS5 port is going very well and we hope to have that ready sooner rather than later, although we don't have any official release dates yet.
Let me go over what you can expect in the next content update, which is currently planned to hit the beta branch hopefully in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
Survival Skill Tree
As part of the next update we are introducing a brand new Survival Skill Tree. You will be able to earn points in this tree by cooking, fishing, and hunting. This tree will include 9 new skills to pick from that give you all kinds of benefits, ranging from experience bonuses in crafting skills, a chance to find more foraging materials, increased duration time from meal effects, and more.
Legendary Animals
The next update will also feature a new set of legendary animals to hunt. These will be hard to find and often require knowledge of where to look. Hunting these animals will reward you with unique crafting materials that can then be used to make a lot of new items including new unique ship decorations, weapons, and armor. We've also included some new points of interest along with this content.
In addition to new content, this update will also feature more bug fixes and balancing changes. As always, thanks for reading and we look forward to getting this update out soon!
