Fast travel, pigs and the first trade
The time has come for version 0.5.5, which adds three improvements to the game world. This week, the time spent on version 0.5.5
overlapped with the time spent on the next versions, which are interconnected and are being worked on simultaneously with the weekly updates. But that's not the topic of today's blog,
because today we are releasing version 0.5.5...
Version 0.5.5. The world is brought to life by wild animals that add color to the entire location. We can encounter roe deer, deer, and pigs on village farms.
The animal theme will continue to be developed, with more animals being added and the AI of individual species also being developed.
However, the effect achieved today is already satisfactory in itself, bringing the world of the Thalor Valley to life.
Another improvement in this version is fast travel, which is possible thanks to fast travel shrines located in various places around the world.
The ability to travel is only available once we have “discovered” the shrine we want to get to. However, fast travel costs 100 mana points.
A very important improvement is the trading system and the first opportunity to purchase potions from Lirael. However, this option is only available after completing the quest
“Brother Eldrin,” then each time you visit the first herbalist, Thalor, you will be able to purchase potions. Today, these are only mana and health potions,
which may not be much, but it is a good start and makes it easier to survive in the game world.
