[SWOTS] THIS IS BUILD #0 SHHHHH
Added 2021-01-14 19:00:03 +0000 UTCThere's a new game afoot - which means a new series of builds!
The core game loop (TAKE ON CLIENTS -> FIND THE ITEM THEY NEED -> PURCHASE THEIR ITEM -> FULFILL THE REQUEST -> REPEAT) is present and extremely compelling, along with a number of other mechanics that support this core. Some organs affect each other in the cargo hold (this will be updated and deepened over time). Events will wreck your day, or put you in a position to make a MASSIVE profit. You can buy new holds with special traits and abilities. Traders exhibit unique behaviors and desires. This core stuff is already functioning, and rad.
That said, the state of the build is pre-alpha. It's a cleaned-up and improved version of the game seen in the trailer. It will not save your progress, and lacks several core features, like the ability to accrue Reputation points (and the advanced quests that come with it). Storyline quests can not activate endings. There is no 'options' menu. The "Personal" tab where you can switch your face and view your player statistics is mocked-up internally, but not in-game yet.
An irreverent look at a WIP feature. Notice the outdated 'sell' tab, replaced by the ability to sell things from within your cargo hold.
What's in the Personal Tab instead, for the time being, is... temporary.
With that giant mass of caveats out of the way, I sincerely hope you enjoy the game - and will continue to do so as it just continues to get bigger and better, thanks to your support and feedback. Thank you.
Oh, and speaking of feedback... Feel free to drop any in the new SWOTS channel found in our Discord.
Enjoy!
