We have a quick news update for you today. We just released a new video in which we detail the changes that we've been working on for the fishing skill in Book of Travels. For one thing, we're adding a new casting rod which will allow you to cast your line further out and get better fish.

For the full details, please check out the video:



We hope you enjoyed the presentation!
That's it for today, but you'll hear more from us soon.

Best wishes,
Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Hello travelers!

In today's devlog we will talk about guns and their role in our game!





This poverb... Pretty self-explanatory, right? ;)

These powerful items will be crucial to surviving the harsh wilderness and defending oneself against dangerous predators and rival prospectors!




Revolver weapons will be a staple for players who prefer close-range combat. These weapons will offer high damage and quick firing rates, making them ideal for taking out enemies at close range.

We are thinking to give players access to a variety of revolvers, each with its own unique stats and attributes but for now we got only one model available.
Ultimately its not a shooter game ;)
Speaking of - revolvers are small and easy to use so a lot of NPCs will carry them!
So don't think of robbing everyone in your sight ;)



I'm really digging this "fake diagram". Looks really realistic. Also... well it's not that "fake"! It's actually showing some details on this 3D model :D






Quite a quote... i think one of the USA president said this.

For players who prefer to keep their distance, rifle weapons will be the perfect choice. (and also a bow!)
These weapons will offer excellent accuracy and range, allowing players to take out enemies from a safe distance.
Players will have access to a variety of rifles as well, each with its own unique stats and attributes. Some rifles will offer greater damage output, while others will be more accurate or have longer range.




Maintenance!
Remember this mini-game from PRISON SIMULATOR? ;)
Maybe it will make a come back ;)
Of course, obtaining these weapons will not be easy (except a revolver maybe).
Players will need to scavenge for resources, trade with other prospectors or traders, and complete challenging quests in order to obtain best weapons!

What's being worked on for the next update?

The quests update will take some time before it's fully released. This update will add a lot of new features and content. It will be released in several parts over the next 4 to 6 months. Expect to see the first part released in the next 6 weeks or so. This dev diary series will be published weekly to keep you up-to-date on what's being developed.

The core action game loop for Crash Override pits the player against a horde of glitches (mainframe corruption) in an ever branching series of connected areas. The player can collect weapon program upgrades, and key resources (like RAM, Data, and CPU fragments) to progress more easily.

The variation of play for each area is mostly due to the 27 different types of glitches, upgrade / resource drops, and the area randomization.

With the quest update, we'll see more variation in obstacles that can challenge the player. Here are just a few:

• Voids (Pits)
  
• Rapid Unscheduled Deconstruction (Flying Debris)
  
• Obfuscation (Hidden Pathways)
  
• Patterns (Puzzles)
  
• Localized Time Dilation (Area Slowdowns)
  
• Observers (Security Cameras)
  
• Fixed Sentries (Wall Turrets)
  
• Quest Related Mini-Bosses
  
• Enemy Wave Lockdowns
  
• Tile Traps

Subsystems are a way for players to affect or control obstacles they may encounter by way of a hack&/ (pronounced: hack and slash). Not all obstacles can be affected in this way.

When an area is trapped there may be an access terminal in the area or nearby. Some entity types, such as glitches, may also have a subsystem that allows an access interaction. The player can interact with these access points to engage the hack&/ protocol. Hack&/ mini-games will allow the player to commandeer a turret, disable a trap, or even take control of glitches directly. The player character's Engineering attribute will determine how easy the hack&/ mini-game will be.



Next week's dev diary we'll discuss mainframe spaces, operator challenges, and 'frame themes.

Any questions, comments, or suggestions? Please feel free to discuss here, on the Steam discussion forums, or our official Discord server.
