What's being worked on for the next update?
The quests update will take some time before it's fully released. This update will add a lot of new features and content. It will be released in several parts over the next 4 to 6 months.
Expect to see the first part released in several weeks. For now, this wraps up the weekly dev diary series on what's being developed.
Quests
Denizens found in the cybernet will have their own motivations and tasks they request of the player. Here are some of the types of tasks the player may be asked to perform:
- Fetch
- Hack&/
- Combat
- Timed Course
- Obstacle Course
- Data Runner
- Escort
- Follow
- Join Up to Defeat
Quests will be central to the success of the player trying to save the cybernet from the mysterious threat.
Challenges
Mainframe operators need to know the player is right for the job. Sure, you have enough reputation, but is it deserved?
Challenges are a way for ops to know if the player is indeed worthy of their cred. Challenges can be any of the quest types listed above, and others to be discovered.
Rewards
Whenever a player completes a quest or challenge they will be rewarded. This may be in the form of Data, Rep, CPU, RAM, general items, equipment, or a key item. Key items are needed to progress through some areas and questlines.
Dev Diary Wrap Up
This weekly dev diary series was a lot of fun to write. A lot of new content and features are planned for the game. There may be future dev diary articles published, but for now the focus will be on adding everything discussed into the game for release.
