Hooded Horse and Eremite Video games have supplied a preview of Towards the Storm’s upcoming 1.4 patch. This main replace will carry main content material additions to the bottom sport. Nonetheless, its launch date has not but been introduced.

The key focus of the 1.4 patch is to usher in extra sources and manufacturing. The marquee function right here is fishing, which is finished at ponds. These are useful resource nodes, very like lots of the others that exist already inside the sport world. These are exploited utilizing fishing huts.

There are additionally new buildings, sources, wants, and orders. With the addition of latest sources and blueprints, Eremite Video games acknowledges that this might lead to bloat. The random (near-roguelite) nature of Towards the Storm requires that you simply make efficient use of what’s out there to you fairly than permitting you to depend on one single technique. Nonetheless, if an excessive amount of will get added into there, it may well dilute out there methods, making some periods tougher than others.

As a way to tackle this, they’re including in new techniques for unlocking issues, corresponding to counting on repute from villager species as necessities. Once I reviewed Towards the Storm (which I’ll remind you was one in all my favourite video games of the yr) at its full launch, one of many issues I praised most was its skill to juggle so many techniques and aspects with out it weakening the general expertise. I can completely see how including extra into it may make it unbalanced, however, at this level, Eremite Video games has my religion that they will do it.

Eremite additionally introduced that, in late August, they’ll reveal the brand new species and new biome that will probably be added within the upcoming paid DLC. Additionally they introduced that they may announce the discharge date of patch 1.4 at the moment. Additionally they remarked that that is an announcement of an announcement. Having labored on this function for some time now, I acknowledge that saying an announcement is fairly commonplace, however it’s nonetheless fairly bizarre.

Towards the Storm is offered now for PC. The 1.4 replace and paid DLC doesn’t presently have a set launch date.
