Our next update will be called Ikigai, which is Japanese for “a sense of purpose” -- and that’s exactly what we hope it will offer, with the introduction of a more complex progression system based on perks!
You may have already seen our Legend tab, currently just a proof of concept that we always intended to greatly expand upon. The time has come to shed more light on how it will work.
First of all, we want to support all of the four paths you may wish to take to turn your character from a rag-tag peasant into a legendary figure. And today we will present two of them.
Way of the Leader
Players focused on their Dynasty will be able to level it up by acquiring Dynasty XP, which unlocks benefits for all players in a co-op session. As you progress, expect to gain perks that provide new and unique crafting recipes, lower villagers’ consumption of resources, and modify their happiness or productivity. Additionally, you can earn various other permanent global bonuses that enhance the overall experience for your entire community. These benefits not only improve individual gameplay but also foster teamwork and collaboration in co-op sessions, making the Dynasty system a central aspect of the game’s progression and strategy.
Way of the Craftsman
As a hardworking person in medieval Japan, you’ll be able to level up by crafting, building, and acquiring resources. As you progress, you can expect to receive rewards that enhance various aspects of your productivity. For example, you'll get boosts to wood production with supercharged axes, access to richer mining deposits, faster construction speeds for building, and improved yields from harvesting and farming. These rewards will make your efforts more efficient and fruitful, helping you thrive in the challenging world of medieval Japan.
Next week, we will unveil two additional paths that will enhance your combat abilities and spiritual growth. These new paths will offer unique skills and benefits, allowing you to master both the art of battle and the power of spirituality. Stay tuned for more exciting details!
See you there!
