Chapter 1 Update- Survival Stats & Divine Dominions


Good morning everyone!

We're starting Sunday off with an exciting bit of news! I've added survival stats and divine dominions to The Last Divine! Now players will have 5 survival stats: hunger, thirst, vitality, arcane stability, and blood price, each of which must be managed as the player navigates a world of forsaken gods and fractured magic. I am also planning on adding an option in the next build to forego survival stats for players who prefer a more relaxed/cozy gaming experience. For now, survival stats won't have an effect on story trajectory since this is only the first chapter. But moving forward, they will become important- and potentially lead to character death or other anomalies if they trend towards too high or too low throughout certain parts of the game. Let me know what you think and, just out of curiosity, whether you will be planning on playing with or without survival stats. 

Divine Dominions have also been added! Now, the choices you make throughout the game will determine what magical abilities you develop. Moving forward, this will not only impact the way your character fights, but also how they interact with others. For example, one of the Divine Dominions allows the player to walk within the dreams of others- which means they'll be able to peak into the dreams of their chosen romance option if they choose to :P This will likely be the last content update I release until chapter two! 

Happy gaming  :)

I think the addition of survival stats is very cool for a more immersing gaming experience, I will be using them! Additionally the music update (which was last update) is wonderful, but I might suggest an ablity to toggle it. I love the idea tho, its something else to immerse u in the game, however I personally already listen to music while playing IFs. Typically if there is mysic there is also an option to mute the game music, which I do. And I mean no hate 😭 🩷 I do like the option to have music, but it's just not a thing I personally use or prefer. Just a suggestion, not hate or anything. Keep going, I love the direction this game is going >:3

Hi :) Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it, you make a good point that I should add in an ability to toggle it for people who prefer to listen to their own music while playing IFs! It never occurred to me that people might prefer to listen to their own music while playing, so I appreciate you letting me know what you tend to prefer. I already have an update coded and scheduled for tomorrow, but I will definitely make sure to add some sort of option to toggle the music in the one after that! Thank you!!
