Devlog - Weapon Update

This update brings a lot of improvements and new features for the weapons in the world of 9 Dayz, as already hinted at in this concept. It is also a follow-up to the last update - the selected character now has their own place in the game UI along with their weapons and helpful information.

Here are all the details.

Visualization of the character and equipment

Both the character and their weapons are shown in the bottom right-hand area of the screen. Right-click on the character to view all details in the almanac, same for the character's weapons.

The weapons can now also be put back and picked up again, which can be strategically helpful in preparation for upcoming battles. The character can carry a maximum of 2 weapons at the same time.

New powerful weapons

The following 3 weapons can now be found in certain locations. They have significantly better stats than their improvised siblings, but cannot be crafted by the player and can only be found with a lot of luck. These new weapons have also been added to the almanac, where the possible locations for all three can be found.

Weapons in battle

In battle, the durability of a drawn weapon is now shown directly on its card. As before, the durability of a weapon is reduced by one point when it is used for an attack.

Smaller improvements

•  The touch controls have been slightly adjusted in size and position
• A fullscreen button now also allows you to switch between window and fullscreen mode in the game
• The game can now be paused by clicking on the time of day (lower middle area) or by pressing P key

Outlook - repairing weapons and animal companions

The new improvements pave the way for further features that will soon be available. The following 2 graphics give you a preview of what is coming next.

With the right items weapons can be improved and repaired.

Thanks for reading and have fun!
