Iteration 4

Added 2015-12-22 23:40:59 +0000 UTC

Iteration 4 is out! This iteration adds all the necessary mechanics for world navigation, both old and new. Players should now be able to hunt, explore, and scavenge, both locally and city-wide. For now, only some simple placeholders are in place, and await their content population during beta.

Local scavenging is a new mechanic which will probably be detailed in its own blog post; otherwise, everything you were able to do in the original game should be back!

There was a slight release delay for this version, but all that really means is I was able to squeeze in a some minor mechanics I had planned for the next iteration. Specifically, the game should now recognize the player's anatomy rules during infection. The way it operates is subtly different from inform's version, to better handle locked anatomy.

Finally, now that we're closing in on about the half-way point, I can detail the exact roadmap for development, moving forward. The remaining iterations are as followed:

5) Pregnancy
6) NPCs/Pets
7) Items&Inventory 2
8) Combat 2
9) Cleanup/Starting Experience
10) UI
11) Final Pass
12) Beta!

Thank you for your continued support, and happy holidays!
