Layer 3 Poll Winner + Next Update Plans

Layer 3 Poll

For such an important poll, I would usually make sure to let people know that it's ending and let it run for a bit longer. However, for the candidate of the third layer, I don't think that's necessary. It's quite clear what most would like to see in the future!

The factory has won a very large majority of the vote, and thus it'll be the next layer added to the Expanse. I'd like to quickly cover what that means in this post, along with some other information.

Layer 3 is going to take quite a while to make, so the effects of this vote won't be felt immediately. However, I'll be dropping information regarding its development over the next several months as regular updates continue. A bit of its influence may also appear in the other layers in the meantime, so watch out for that! As is, there's already an item from the Factory that's been in the game since day 1.

For those who wanted something else out of the third layer like the Abbey or a contemporary setting, I'll say that it's not entirely over. Not only will these layers likely be coming to FATACLYSM eventually, but their influence may also have a chance to pop up around the other layers some time soon. Watch out for future content polls if you'd like to try and get some representation for your vote elsewhere!

Next Update Plans

The 0.1.2 update will be coming somewhat soon-ish, and the current plans for its content are as follows:

-1 new elite enemy in the Palace, the Ravager

-1 new ending in the Palace that will be voted on soon

-Either 1 new event or 1 new enemy in the Penitentiary (Undecided on this as of yet, might take a vote on it)

-1 new full reskin for a party member

-A large amount of new dialogue for bosses, as well as for Leona

Following this content drop, the next update (0.2.0) is planned to implement a new party member. However, please remember that all of the above details and plans for future updates are a work in progress and are always subject to change.

Regarding the timing of v0.1.2's release date, I'm not really able to put a date on it at the moment. I'll be working on it the best I can, but I won't lie when I say that a certain game's imminent DLC release might slow things down a bit. My home has also had many reoccurring issues with its piping recently, so getting forced out while work is done on them may also affect development.

I don't want to get into my personal life too much, though, so I'll be sure to let you all know about the status of update progress over the next few weeks. Anyways, here's a little sneak peek of one of the Ravager's future weight stages!
