Dreadwinter Devlog - April 2024

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'll try to keep it short!

This is the first devlog I've written for the steam page, so I'm not quite sure where to begin. Hopefully you've seen the store page and have a fair idea of what this game's about, and perhaps you've even played the demo, so I won't go over what kind of game Dreadwinter is, and what's currently in the game.

If you have played the demo, you may have tried to explore some of the places in Lunara, the main town, only to find they're not ready for business yet. In the last month, I've been working on opening them up, and coming up with some cool ideas!

First off is Lin Fei's Dim Sum Diner and Bathhouse. As the name suggests, it's a restaurant that serves dim sum, a chinese meal consisting of a range of small dishes. Each dish you order will give a boost to certain stats for a short while. This could be anything from increasing your health, making you move faster, or increasing income gained (don't ask how). Make sure to visit often!

You can also take a relaxing bath if you want to. Don't mind the color of the water, it's just tea, supposedly it's good for your skin (don't try this at home!)

I'm currently working on getting the observatory into the game. As you can see, it's a lot more than just an observatory! There's a museum section, a library, greenhouse, as well as a study/relaxation area. The museum is currently looking a bit empty, as it was recently robbed, and you've been enlisted to find some new exhibits!

On the top floor is the telescope hub. Monitoring the telescope isn't the most exciting work, though, so the museum's director, Elysa, tends to use her research budget on strange experiments. Maybe you'll be able to help her out!

That's it for this update! There's still more places to add, so keep an eye out for the next devlog.
