- Developer Log 3 - 30 December 2023
Hello everyone, In this dev log I have a bit of lore for the games area and some nice screenshots of one of the important locations in the game. Introduction to the Ogistok National Forest Ogistok meaning sky in the local native language. There is a story told for generations that the name comes from when their God came down from the sky and gave them knowledge to better their lives. Here is the cabin experience, people come from far and wide to hire one of the 8 cabins they have available. Many people come to try and get a glimpse of the Gods that the native people talk about, but we have not seen any evidence for this so far. Here are some new screenshots of the area! I will be posting more about game mechanics etc soon, for now though I am wanting to show areas in the game off! :)
