Hi all! After an intense downtime, I can confirm we're finally ready to push our v0.2.0 update! We want to first apologise for the large amount of downtime - we had some really important behind the scenes stuff to complete (manually transferring all of your character data to our new system). This does however mean that we are now on track for our next updates (and most importantly, this one!)
MULTIPLE CHARACTERS
We have finally re-added our multiple character system, starting with x2 characters for all players! Our previous iteration of this system worked, but had a few core issues which meant it wasn't compatible with our upcoming apartment system, along with some other mechanics we're planning to implement. We have spent the last month reworking this from a behind the scenes perspective, which means everything should now run smoothly! (Send us any bugs you may find!)
CRIME & GANGS
Based on lots of user feedback, we have overhauled our Crime and Gang faction, the Dockyard Exchange. You can read more about this, along with continuing updates, in the Dockyard Discord. This is an update we're committed to overhauling long term, and will continue to update daily over the next few weeks. We have already added weapons, street gang perks (sprays, etc), turf, and much more!
MUSIC & SOUNDS
An update for your ears! We have added unique sounds, ambience, effects and more across the entire server. This ranges from UI sounds when you open your backpack, to purchasing food from a vending machine, or listening to the generic radio music inside the gas station. We've also added a playable boombox, which can be purchased from Family Video. You can collect playable cassette tapes from around East Falls to listen to your favorite 80s hits!
ITEM SHOPS
Our artist team has been very hard at work creating tons of custom items for you to obtain in game, with in game money! We've opened three new daily shops: the Gas Station, Family Video Store and the secret Dockyard Exchange dealer. These shops rotate items daily, with different rarites and stock levels. Make sure to check in regularly to see what is for sale!
VALENTINE'S RECAP
A small but fun update! We recently held a Valentine's event, which was really successful! Big props to our event team for running such an awesome event. You can watch the recap video by clicking on this link!
MISC CHANGES
We have also added MANY (close to 100!) other features, from larger updates such as /grab, to smaller bug fixes. You can view the change-log on our Discord to check the entire list! Check out roadmap to keep updated with our progression, and don't forget to suggest any ideas you may have in #ideas.
WHAT'S NEXT?
As I mentioned at the top, we want to apologise for the lack progress updates! The multiple character system has been a huge headache for us, but it is finally over! We are rapidly working towards the next update, which should be our new apartment system (along with many new features along the way)! We can't wait to share with you all what features we have lined up, and most importantly, we can't wait to progress, and grow this community into something really enjoyable!
The entire team would like to thank you all again for playing so far! You guys make the server, and we love to see you enjoy our project. See you in East Falls ❤️
