#chapter 1 update
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 :)
