- Update 111224 - 11 December 2024
We've rebuilt EverWorld from the ground up. We realised that to fulfil the interesting features and gameplay we wanted (NPCs you can talk to and that react to a fully interactable world) we needed to re-architect the base systems of EverWorld. So that's what we've done. We've pivoted more towards the base foundations of a life sim that we can then build more and more features on. This means NPCs have jobs, will sustain themselves, will walk around etc - and we can build more that they can do on top of our systems. We've had to make the game world smaller (for now!) - but this comes with much deeper simulation and interaction. Watch this space for further updates coming soon.
