So While Levi has been working on the terrain generator (Which may be done soon) I have been doing more and more planning on what i want the game to turn out to be. So now I will explain each and every concept I have thought about so far...

WEAPONS

I plan to add three types of weapons to the game. You can craft one of each, then after that you can collect bronze, iron, and legendary stone to upgrade your weapons. So basically Normal, bronze, Iron, and legendary Shortswords, Longswords, and bows. You need to collect the resources to craft them then you can upgrade them.

COMBAT

The main game takes place on the touchscreen. When you tap on an enemy you will move towards it and start auto-attacking it with whatever weapon you have equipped. You can then start using spells and abilities that are located on the hotbar towards the lower part of the screen. After you kill the enemy you will auto-collect it's loot. I have not planned on what enemies to add yet... Enemies will drop food, gold (money), or whatever resource you need for the moment to upgrade your equipped weapon.

SURVIVAL

You need to eat to replenish hunger and when you are full, you can eat to replenish health. You can craft fires, go fishing, or hunt to get food. At night you probably will need to sleep or else you may collapse and be eaten by cannibals the next day.

SKILLS AND ABILITIES

You can kill enemies and advance in the story (Yes, there will be a story but that will be explained later) to earn XP and level up. Level up to expand your health, and earn skill points. Skill points will be used to earn skills and abilities. There will be a "skill tree" where you start at the bottom of it, and when you start learning skills you unlock skills above it until you get to the one final skill that is the greatest skill of all time. I don't know exactly what skills and abilities I will add but I know there will be spells, critical hit modifyers, spell modifyers, health modifyers, and abilities like insta kill, invisibility, etc.

That is all for right now, stay tuned for more updates on The Forest!
