First Quest: Osedax

The first side quest of RE:P is now available and fully functional!

We've spent much of April working on the programming for our quest system, which will handle both main story quests and side quests. 

To check out the first side quest, talk to Zhang in Maodun Consulting to get things started! You might find a little eerie adventure awaiting you.

New NPC: Ulysses

Another NPC and area appears! You'll be seeing a fair amount of Ulysses throughout RE:P, so be good to your resident paranoid journalist.

UI Additions/Updates

This month sees a number of changes to our UI, including the scrolling dialogue box in the screenshots above, a new quest menu, and an update to the save/load menu (so you can actually save in slots).

Note that all of the UI is still WIP/placeholder/not the finished product! We intend to make major overhauls down the line, but for now, we wanted to get something up and running.

Next Month and the Future

What's next for RE:P?

May will be a busy month as we prepare for conventions and travel. However, we still intend to get an update out; it may be a little on the smaller side, but new content will still appear.

Some (possible) things that might show up in May's update:

• Inventory system
• 1 new side quest
• 1 new NPC
• 1-2 new areas
• Further UI updates

Polls & Throne Content Submission:

The polls for next month's new content will be posted on Patreon soon! What skill and trait would you like to see implemented next?

For our Throne patrons: Make sure to submit your design suggestions for next month in the sheet or on Discord to be polled on!
