New Item: Books
Added 2023-03-05 19:52:03 +0000 UTCHere's the first set of in-game books:
- Advice for Fishermen (Fishing)
- Stories for Children (Story)
- Book of Concord (Religion)
Some of these will be pretty useless but some books will have trading value, like the ones which could be useful in IRL post-apocalypse scenario.
Loot Challenge: 58/100

It would be cool if some books or journals have secrets written in them such as stash locations/points of interest.

2023-03-06 00:38:23 +0000 UTCI see that books have few meaning at first. One thing that is important in terms of having a good looting experience is also bad loot. There is no point if every piece of loot is valuable and useful, there must be trash and boring items, so when you actually find something useful / rare / valuable it feels much more impactful. The second purpose of books is trading / quest value. Some more rare books have certain barter and trade value to them + there will be few minor quests where you need to find specific books etc. In the future there might be some skill-related features to books but those are not yet important for the current gameplay loop. + one useful thing with books is that they can be turned into paper with crafting system and then used for lighting a fire etc.

2023-03-06 00:32:44 +0000 UTCWill the books be actually readable ingame? Like the fishing book could have tips how and where to fish, and maybe catalog different fish types and their perks. :D

2023-03-05 21:05:21 +0000 UTCWill there be Books that are actually help you? Maybe in Term of Skill Progression? Or are Books just a Sell if worth or Leave it there kind of thing? Not that it would be a bad thing if there is Loot that is only useful if you sell it. I'm just curious :)
