We would like to present a preview of some of the upcoming features the development team are working to introduce to the game.
A lot of work goes on behind the scenes of PlaneShift, with players often only seeing the end result. Development of any new feature can be very time consuming, so it can take a long time for players to know what the team has been working on.
The developers are always open to questions concerning the game's progression and also hold regular events where players are invited to ask questions, but we recognise that not every player can attend these events. Due to this, we'd like to give an overview of the new additions that are being worked on at the moment, and which you can look forward to seeing in the game in future updates.
Rules:
- Brewing: The art has been submitted, the crafting data has been loaded and the brewing scripts are being tested.
- Jewelry Making: Ordinary jewelry has been tested and enchanted jewelry is currently in testing.
- Magic Modifiers: All craftable and lootable item modifiers are currently under review!
Settings:
- Books: 14 new books are being worked on.
- Crafting Quests: The quests for Brewing and Jewelry are currently being developed.
- Magic Staff Quests: Many of you may have seen, or even have one of the rare Magic Staffs, such as those held by Ferryd and Evelyn. We are beginning the process of designing the quests which will eventually allow players to obtain these. Work is in the very early stages and a long way from being released, but it is one of the next main projects.
Engine:
- Crafting UI: The new interface for crafting has been progressing and now correctly detects and selects books for use in the crafting process.
The Shindrok's Crater Project
- NPCs: Ten NPCs have been created along with their descriptions. Quests for them are now being developed.
- Getting Involved: If you're interested in contributing to the Shindrok's Crater project, please check out the project's wiki page.
News Updates
- Regular Updates: We will now aim to provide news updates or other articles for the main page at least once every second week.
Anyone with an interest in helping out in any of these areas, or with other developments, is more than welcome to get involved.
