March Development Log

Hey, guys! I would like to discuss with you the plans for the next update. Since many players were asking for content, and most importantly for the story, I think the right decision would be to working on the main story.
I must say right away that the work on the main story is not the easiest task, since it affects other tasks, therefore, it may require much more time than usual.

Main Story
Since the game area is already quite full at the moment, it's time to expand and update it. This will allow my to add new villages, new characters, and points of interest. And not like now when all the NPCs are located in one square.
For this purpose, I will return the previous landscape, which was used in the outdated version 0.33. I will update it, optimize it and populate with vegetation and points of interest. At the same time, new types of quests will be added to the game, which means exploring the map, finding points of interest and other types of activities.

Underwater World
In parallel with updating the landscape, I would also like to update the underwater world. So one of the tasks is to switch to another implementation of water, which is more optimized, but at the same time it is not inferior in quality to the current one. Also, some players suggested adding streams and lakes to the map, which, in my opinion, is a very good idea that will allow to improve the map and add new mechanics for interacting with water. And accordingly, the mechanics of full-fledged swimming, new underwater plants and various activities will be added: underwater chests, submerged boats/ships...

Customization
Well, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but it will be as an additional task with a much lower priority, so that I can distract myself and not burn out.
Another argument for this point is the transition to the latest version of the engine, which supports the new implementation of hair through "strands". So first, hair will be added for the hero, and once I get used to this new system, it will be possible to make hair for girls, with full-fledged physics and fully dynamic (which will look good in the act).
In addition to the hair, I would like to update the visuals of the hero a little, updating textures and adding new customization presets. And there are also plans to add the ability to customize the hero's genitals, for more variety.
