We wanted to post an announcement (yep another one!) on the progress of the rebellion update. Work is still going ahead and we are making strides on the major content required for the patch. One internal milestone we hit was completing the brand new (safe/starter zone) kingdom, we were unhappy with using current assets and wanted to give the city a fresh lick of paint. We have created a new layout and added an additional 20 houses bringing the total to 55 purchasable dwellings.
Vast range of unique buildings to live in have been added such as these apartments overlooking the town square
Most buildings come with private gardens, such as these peasant hovels in the slum district
However if you are after a life in agriculture then plenty of farmland is available outside the city walls
Once you have the coin, you can move into the royal quarter and live in the large manor houses
but fear not, if you are all out of gold there will be plenty of rooms at the inn
A new locomotion system has also been added, since the third person system has been fully re-worked, we thought it would be best to improve the overall presentation of player and A.I. movement. Here is some GIFs of the player running around the new kingdom:
Now entering the kingdom's entrance and the new "safe zone" so the player is free to trade and socialize
Here's the player approaching the market square, full of purchasable market stalls to start your very own business
The treasury is located in the royal quarter, where you can deposit your biggest valuables
A more dynamic day and night cycle has also been re-worked
The new "tiredness" mechanic has also been added, this requires the player to use various furniture to recover lost maximum stamina at different rates.
The new craftable royal bed will recover your stamina in no time!
The coffer system is now reaching completion which features 4 types that reflect the value of it's items inside. So make sure to make it back to the treasury alive if you find the ultra rare royal coffer.
That's all Mercians, if you are curious to what else is coming in this mammoth update please help yourselves to the previous announcements regarding this patch. Thanks to everyone playing and the patience shown waiting for this new content and much needed bug fixes.
Hopefully we can demonstrate more soon.
Take care.
