Following a developer Q&A which occurred throughout each Reddit and Discord, gamers of Sons of the Forest have lastly been given some solutions about what to anticipate from the sport in future (thanks, PC Gamer).
“We have huge plans to maintain including duties Kelvin can full,” says Endnight Games. There are plans to probably have the AI companion assist assemble defensive partitions round our bases, whereas additionally repairing/fortifying bases when crucial.
Right now, Kelvin is nice for accumulating constructing assets, and even meals, however he’s truthfully a tad ineffective past that. That stated, he’s nonetheless enjoyable to maintain round, in addition to Virginia.
“For Virgina, we plan so as to add extra to her AI, notably giving her extra bravery if she has a weapon, and in addition relying on what number of mutants/cannibals she has killed,” shares Endnight when on the subject of Sons of the Forest’s beloved companions, which have been immediately a success with gamers, even when Kelvin does take pleasure in tearing treehouses down.
In addition, Endnight Games has additionally shared just a few different issues it plans to work on. Firstly, new particulars and cutscenes shall be added to reinforce Sons of the Forest’s story, in addition to new variations to cannibal camps, together with a brand new enemy. There’ll even be new gadgets to craft ultimately, and additional instruments to forestall any dangerous apples from disrupting public servers.
When the sport launched, there was an instantaneous demand for log sleds to return in Sons of the Forest. This specific merchandise, used for transferring a tonne of logs from level A to level B in The Forest, shouldn’t be current in Sons of the Forest proper now. Endnight shares that, “this is likely one of the actually cool issues about Early Access. Internally, we didn’t realise how a lot individuals actually appreciated the log sled, and as a result of variety of bugs it had within the first recreation, we weren’t positive if it was price placing again in or not.”
Alas, these of us who dearly miss the beloved log sled might have some excellent news: “In the final week since launch, it’s develop into clear that it’s one thing gamers miss.” It’s in no way affirmation that the log sled will return, however the truth that Endnight has acknowledged how many people miss the contraption a lot provides me some hope that it’ll return.
A full run-down of the neighborhood Q&A with Endnight Games could be discovered on YouTube, and also you’ll little question discover that loads of questions have nonetheless been left unanswered. For instance, you may also be begging for a sooner approach round this huge island; getting from one facet to the opposite can take a stable half an hour of holding ‘W’ at the most effective of occasions.
“We do have what we expect is a very cool thought for [faster forms of transportation] however don’t need to go into particulars in case it isn’t as enjoyable as we expect it may be, or doesn’t work effectively with the setting,” says Endnight.
Most just lately, my associates and I arrange an limitless quantity of ziplines across the island, even turning the height of the snowy mountain into our personal sledding course. I’m fairly proud of this mode of transportation for now, but when Endnight might let me zip round in one of many many golf buggies dotted across the place, that may be cool too.
