Creator Notes[]

#1[]

Welcome to messages from the Great Creator. Read these signs to find out much more about the future of Quill!

#2[]

Future builds will look to farm upgrades and some customisation. Your family will be housed here and will be able to be nurtured or put to work!

#3[]

The Ledger will allow for stocktaking, ordering, staff hires and looking at your reputation per haven and worldwide.

#4[]

Eventually there will be visual aging for each character...baby, child/teen, adult and old states. Pets will have young, adult and old states.

#5[]

There will be more events and secrets added, with seasonal events from minigames to mysterious appearances.

#6[]

Certain places in the world will give boosts to charm and virility etc. Proverbs and gossip will reveal these places.

#7[]

Owning the Kynseed will reveal the Fae for what they are. These will be added in the coming builds.

#8[]

NPC families will have a 'family secret' to uncover...this could be a heirloom or useful ancient knowledge.

#9[]

Your children will learn whatever you teach them, and each will have new perks that can be passed down, making each generation potentially more powerful.

#10[]

Dark Forests are the combat zones and named by difficulty. You will be able to prepare your boons and recipes before taking them on.

#11[]

There may be small, simple creatures now, but later on some of the enemies will be much more dangerous! And in some cases, very big.

#12[]

Your business will grow in Reputation so your products become more famous throughout the land.

#13[]

Most NPC's can be married, no matter what gender. The only exception will be those who are Goddess blessed, like Master's.

#14[]

These ponds are for 'funerals', although Quillians celebrate death and believe their lifeforce returns as part of nature.

#15[]

Eventually there will be more made of economy, with seasons affecting goods and produce demands.

#16[]

The Chat system is very basic now, and has been redesigned with choices and trees, but this will be a little way off.

#17[]

The Permission system is still to come, which will give a reason to befriend NPC's so you can access their produce and sleep in their houses.

#18[]

Toilets will have another use, eventually...

#19[]

Dying would normally cost you a year of your life, so in future updates, be careful and prepare!You can use this market stall to sell items. Shoppers may want to barter with you so try and hit the green area if they do!

#20[]

You will be able to find Relics throughout the world that unlock the history of humankind and what led to their destruction!
