I do think that part 5 of Wintermute will feature a coastal region, based on that picture of the steam-powered sail ship in the teaser image for it: Like I said at the time, if you think about it, a sailing ship with an aftermarket steam engine installed would be a good way to get around the world after the Flare, because none of those technologies are reliant in any way on properly functioning electrical circuits so they wouldn't get destroyed by it. Please forgive the off topic post, but that ship really reminds me of the Karluk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_voyage_of_the_Karluk recommended reading if anyone is interested: https://www.jenniferniven.com/the-ice-master 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so excited for you all to see it that I'm almost ready to leak it to you myself. The team has really outdone themselves with this update, and I personally think it's one of our best update videos yet. I know it's infuriating to read this and still have to wait a few days. And I'm sure there will be some surprises and upsets on Monday, but just at this very moment I feel so proud of the team and this is the best best part of the update process -- just before it drops, when I can imagine all your faces when you open it up and see what's in store... The team's just putting the final touches on things and we're finalizing the release notes and all that last-minute stuff...but it's not far now. See you on Monday at 10AM Pacific. Man I feel this - the longer my career as a web applications developer goes... the more I've experienced that pre-launch excitement. There will be complainers - there always is - but hold fast to your pride in your work & those of us who will be over-the-moon. I can't understate how rare it is to love a game that also gets so much love from its studio & has grown so far beyond its original plan. Such an accomplishment. The Hinterland team should be so proud of this. 😁 Edited June 22 by Sherri 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YesIndeed Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 @Raphael van Lierop I just wanted to check if the new region will have new name announced in the update video or if mountain pass is the finalized name. I assumed it was a placeholder, but all the other regions names where announced in their associated dev diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is a matter of opinion. What you would be saying essentially is "you should have stopped developing/improving Survival until Episode Five was finished." TALES was a way for us to continue updating Survival -- which most of our players wanted -- in a paid format (which most of the players we asked said they were happy to do). But there was no version of continuing to update Survival for free any longer. If you've enjoyed any of the free stuff we've added to the base game since Dec 2022, you can thank TALES for that stuff. Most of the new stuff added in TALES was significant work and stuff we couldn't have really justified doing, and we wouldn't have been able to commit to a specific roadmap if we didn't know people would be paying for it. We've put an entire game's worth of features and content into TLD through TALES, well beyond a standard DLC. Survival has been "finished" for a while. We've just been continuing to update it while we worked on Wintermute. I could see why people would be upset at us for selling Story Mode DLC before we finished WM. But the other thing...I guess I just see it differently, because I have to pay the bills. 😅 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I look back, I see where the game has gone in 10 years, do not leave the game after the 5th episode, announce the 2nd season and the additional 2nd DLC, we have grown with this game, we have accumulated a lot of memories, maybe we want this to continue for a while. You and We love the team very much. Best regards 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbluebaby Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I hope there will be a way for players to choose the post death afflictions that would be applied after the second try mechanic. Add them to custom settings to apply at game start. While I would most likely not use them I feel like the community could cook up some challenges with them. This would depend on how they actually work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
