“2016/Q2 Development Road Map

As of now, Noct is being redesigned to incorporate more "wasteland" style gameplay mechanics. While the core narrative/story is being removed and migrated into an exploration type quest system.

Q2 Major features being added:

SURVIVOR BUILT UNDERGROUND BUNKERS

Players will be able to construct their own underground bunker upon collecting the necessary tools and supplies in the game world. This bunker will serve as a primary stash location which players can stock game world supplies, specialized items, and open world quest components to further progression. Bunkers will become the core foundation for survivor game play, and can be expanded via specialty enhancements found in the game world.

Underground bunker doors can only be opened by the creator of the bunker, and function on a timer once opened. In multiplayer this will allow survivors to raid unlocked bunkers left unprotected by their owners. It should also be noted that bunkers are client bound and can transfer from survivor to survivor from that same client, the loss of a survivor will not result in the loss of your bunker.

END OF THE WORLD

Every play session begins and ends during an apocalypse event. As you journey through the Noct outside of the safety of your bunker, a doomsday timer counts down. Nightmarish creatures multiply exponentially and darkness closes in around you as what is left of the world comes to an end. Commit horrendous barbaric acts in the name of survivalism to keep you and your friends alive long enough to retreat back to your bunkers to enjoy the spoils.
