The tool upgrade system!

Although the last few weeks have been somewhat silent on our part, we are still working at 200% following the roadmap that will lead us to Farlands 1.0, and we are currently working on the 0.3 update, the first update that will bring major mechanical upgrades to the game.

The list of things that will be added is as follows:

• AddedDynamic NPCs that will change position and move around the villageno more static dummies. - House upgrade system. - Tool upgrade system. - Indoor furniture and new system for objects that will allow you to rotate them. - Food! - A new story fragment. - Weather. - Preliminary achievement system. - New furniture sets (both indoor and outdoor).

That's a LOT of stuff to add to Farlands all together, and we're working hard on getting it done. Until it's perfect, though, it won't be added to the game. In this update, I want to show you a little bit of the tool upgrades system:

With the 0.3 update, every tool will be upgradable by talking to Gorg, who, using his “skills”, will upgrade any of our tools by one level:

Once the tool is upgraded, it will not only increase its power (which will allow us to break rocks or cut down trees more easily), but it will also increase its range of action.

With these upgrades, getting through mines, clearing the farm, and growing fruits and vegetables can be done in much more effective and enjoyable ways (smashing your way down mines is incredibly satisfying).

With that said: we're keeping working! Some of the other mechanics are completely finished now and we are starting to consider possible release dates for the update, so stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks.

Thank you very much for your support!
