Dev Blog #124 - Expanding The Pit

Greetings everyone!

Let's talk about The Pit!

Expanding Functionality

Update 4.0.1 will introduce the expanded Pit system, allowing you to finally interact with those unfortunate enough to find themselves within its confines. You can think of The Pit as an isolated experimentation center for you to really let your inner mad scientist run free. You'll be given access to all of the serums you've unlocked so far, as well as medical facilities and training areas. Use serums to make more gradual changes to your guests' mental and physical traits, or take a sack of money and throw them in the operating room for more immediate modifications.

As time goes on, you can take your guests for a spin in one of the training areas to see how your modifications have started to take effect, either putting through their paces yourself or volunteering another one of your guests to do it for you while you take in the show.

Of course, the guests you start with aren't necessarily the ones you'll keep. Not only can you attempt to turn a profit on your genetically modified Company Assets, but you can take measures to go out and procure new ones as well! The Pit should be considered a late-game time sink, with the emphasis put on resource management, fulfilling requests, and expanding your accommodations. The system is being designed to be highly flexible, with new content and enhancements relatively easy to add. Last night's development build shows off the foundation of the system, and now that it's operational those with access should expect more frequent updates. The hope is that Update 4.0.1 will prove to have a lot to offer all players, while also establishing a new system that will be maintained regularly moving forward!

That's all for this week! As always, thank you all for your continued feedback and support!
