Hey!

Here are some news:

Turkey is going to finish with the text of the second part this week and start inserting pictures into the code.

Shock news: there will be no bad endings in the second part (these are what we call the ones that end the game based on your choices). Which means no matter what you choose, the game will continue :D But whether you will be happy about it is questionable!

There is a lot of text (by next week we will try to calculate about how many hours of reading it will be) and it is very variable. If you want, we can also show a table by next week, but without the choices, of course, purely to enjoy the view of this huge thing, It was not for nothing that Turkey has done it :D

We attach one of the funny picture selections to the post

Plus, this month we have made good progress on the backgrounds - our regular background artist took the time and drew 3 beautiful backgrounds, plus helped Turkey with the backgrounds in the illustrations.

Turkey, when her brain was boiling after the text, started working on the illustrations. We attach a small spoiler to one of the illustrations. A plus sign in karma to the one who guesses who is in the illustration :D

Hello, Feudals!

Exciting news - Life is Feudal: MMO is making its return on Steam soon! This re-release comes as part of an agreement with BitBox, the original game developers, and sees LTG publishing the game in partnership with Lunate studio.



Since its relaunch on the https://ltg.com/game/life-is-feudal platform in May 2023, the game has seen over 30 updates, introducing enhancements to game mechanics, professions, and the redesign of more than 150 items, along with the squashing of numerous bugs. The LTG team is committed to not only refining the current iteration but also has expansive visions for the game's future development.



A significant update in the new version is the introduction of a game subscription model. Our goal? To level the playing field, ensuring success is dictated by skill and strategy, not by in-game purchases. Thus, we've instituted a subscription service while eliminating any store purchases that could skew game balance.

Life is Feudal: MMO veterans from the previous version of the game will have the opportunity to convert their prior expenses into LiF Coins, redeemable for game subscriptions. Moreover, veterans will be greeted with a bonus - 30 days of free trial. Newcomers aren't left out either, receiving a welcome bonus of 7 days of free trial. And for those currently playing via https://ltg.com/game/life-is-feudal? They, too, will enjoy 7 days of free subscription. We’re ensuring rewards all around!

Dive deeper into the game's evolution with our video development diaries. Just in, a new episode shedding light on the eagerly anticipated new map. Don’t miss it!



You may wonder, "What’s new since the game servers shut down in 2021?" Here’s a rundown:

• Introduced a few new structures and blueprints.
  
• Launched monthly subscription rewards.
  
• Organized the King of the Hill event and a series of events with prizes.

Let's kick off our overview with (not so) fun fact #1: if you follow us on social media or occasionally engage with the game outside of Steam updates, you've probably noticed that this world is most often referred to as Void. That's because no one on the team bothers to memorize such a tricky word as Kohakujō, and everyone still uses its working title (even the writer, shame on them). But here's the funniest part: no one in the in-game universe calls it that either. Except for the inhabitants of the Land of the Emerald Peaks, one of whom you get to play as. So yeah, the more you know.

What essentially is Kohakujō? To avoid excessive lore dumping, let’s keep it relatively brief: Kohakujō is the very first ‘container’ world, the homeland of an ancient civilization of Gods, and the energetic core of the game universe, as well as the deposit of amber resin, a highly efficient energy resource (time for fun fact #2: its name literally means ‘amber citadel’ or ‘amber castle’ in Japanese. Or at least it should). Kohakujō organically provides all other worlds with basic energy, allowing them to sustain their livelihoods.


One of the very early concept arts. Yup, Akatori could be set in Silent Hill

Monks are convinced that the amber resin is the tears of Akatori the Firebird that gave birth to the universe. They also believe that one of the Bird's tears sprouted the Primordial Tree from which the Gods and then humans were first born. When Kohakujō became a bit crowded, the Gods began to create separate worlds for people and other races one by one (this is why the side realms have different ages and are at different stages of development), but after a while, the destructive behavior of mortals spawned Chaos, from which the Bird hid the Gods, and which plagues Kohakujō to this day. Phew, sorry, that was as brief as possible. So, did things really play out that way? Well, that's for you to find out in the full game.


That’s how Kohakujō looks today. What will it look like tomorrow? We’ll see, I guess

Since Kohakujō plays an important role in the story and is a border world that connects the entire multiverse of Akatori, we wanted to add more flavor to it with unique mechanics. In the current state of the game, the more time you spend in Kohakujō, the harder it gets to actually stay there: there’s a timer, aka the Chaos Meter, causing levels to change and hidden passages or hazards to appear. To reset the meter, you have to either save the game by resting at the altars or hit one of the special bells scattered across the world. But more challenges also mean more rewards, so it’s always a matter of whether a risk is worth taking at a given time.

The corruption mechanic is intentionally not explicit: the world around changes and makes the player going through the same level twice think 'wait, was it always like this here?'.


The real-life reference of the current Kohakujō design, presumably somewhere in California

In the future we plan to expand the mechanics further, not only in terms of environment but also enemies, and add a special boss that will chase the player when Chaos levels are high. We ultimately aim for more risk/reward situations, where high Chaos opens up new zones and shortcuts, but makes traveling through Kohakujō noticeably more difficult. Plus, we're considering introducing items that affect Chaos mechanics. For example, making the world corrupt faster if you want to artificially increase the difficulty.

Of course, in addition to the lore background and mechanics, we will also continue to work on the visual design of this world, where players will likely spend most of their time: improving existing art, adding clearer zoning, catchy landmarks, and so on. However, in such matters it's always better to show than to tell, so stay tuned for more updates.

Please remember to wishlist both Akatori and Chapter One if you’re looking forward to the game, this will help us immensely with upcoming releases.

Cheers!

Kicking things off, we wanted to take a look back at The Hillbilly’s recent update and see how it has affected his strength and popularity. We’ve seen a substantial increase in both his use rate and kill rate across all MMRs.


This update skyrocketed The Hillbilly to the top of the list of most popular Killers. The Deathslinger also saw a noticeable bump after being featured in Tome challenges.


Have you ever thought about how many skill checks are hit or missed? It turns out that 70% of all skill checks are good, 23% are great, while 7% are missed entirely. Among high MMR players, this becomes 63% good, 33% great, and 4% missed.

If you’re curious, we also gathered data on which Perks cause Survivors to miss the most skill checks!


It has been nearly 5 years since the End Game Collapse was introduced. Since then, it has activated almost a billion times.

For those who find themselves on the hook at the end of the match: The outlook is not very good. Nearly twice as many Survivors die at the end of the match than are saved.
