addedWe've always mentioned we released a complete game, with a finished story, and we are not enlarging it. However, we've always wanted to keep adding little things here and there that would make your experience a better one. For example, we added Sleeping bags, the option to choose Unlimited usage of Teleport Scrolls, a new, more accessible, fishing minigame, plus other fixes and improvements.
addedRespawn points : we'll be adding something you'll be able to craft to respawn in your own camp, and there'll be more of those around the island, in certain specific pre-selected points, where you'll be able to respawn once you've discovered them. (The initial idea of respawning in the base with a 'totem' was proposed by Flayre in the Community Forum, and we really appreciate feedback like this, so we took it to heart and designed this; now we need to implement it!)
addedFacial customization in Character Creation : after careful thought, we've heard your feedback and we're starting to see what kinds of facial customizations we could add to your teenage scout characters . We're considering little short beards, facial "war paint", glasses and other facial paint.

We've always mentioned we released a complete game, with a finished story, and we are not enlarging it. However, we've always wanted to keep adding little things here and there that would make your experience a better one. For example, we added Sleeping bags, the option to choose Unlimited usage of Teleport Scrolls, a new, more accessible, fishing minigame, plus other fixes and improvements.

Now, we are working on several exciting things, but we'd like you to know about a couple of them in specific:

  • Respawn points: we'll be adding something you'll be able to craft to respawn in your own camp, and there'll be more of those around the island, in certain specific pre-selected points, where you'll be able to respawn once you've discovered them. (The initial idea of respawning in the base with a 'totem' was proposed by Flayre in the Community Forum, and we really appreciate feedback like this, so we took it to heart and designed this; now we need to implement it!)

  • Facial customization in Character Creation: after careful thought, we've heard your feedback and we're starting to see what kinds of facial customizations we could add to your teenage scout characters. We're considering little short beards, facial "war paint", glasses and other facial paint.

Here's where you come in: We're opening up the floor for community input on this specific feature of Facial Customization. What would you like to have for your character?

Your feedback has always been valuable to us, and this is a perfect opportunity to directly influence the game's development. We'll be reading every single comment and taking your suggestions seriously.

Thanks for being such an amazing community. Let's make Oppidum even better together! 🎮
