State of the game

1 Dec, 2020

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your help and support when making Stratos. Unfortunately the sales weren’t as great as I’d hoped, so I’ve had to move my efforts away from the game and look to work elsewhere.

I believe I’ve reached a somewhat stable build and am reasonably happy with where it’s at. If there are game-breaking bugs, I’ll definitely try to fix those. Otherwise, I can’t foresee creating more substantial updates in the future.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your understanding,
Al

Suggestions for the future?

22 Aug, 2020

Hey all,
I’d love to hear your thoughts & opinions on the future of Stratos. What kind of gameplay elements would you like me to feature/prioritize in upcoming updates?

Some ideas so far-

Encounters

Increase the variety of encounters, e.g.
Pirates can intercept the player ship while travelling
Storms that can damage the ship

Story, Quests & Characters

Create a Story Mode which drives the player through several steps
Different quest types, e.g. Collection, Bounty Hunting
Work on social immersion, giving the crew their own character, motivation & social relationships
Increasing the kinds of activities crew conduct, making relaxing and working seem more natural

World events & Mutators

World-size events that occur randomly or as an option on a new game, e.g.
Drought – no water resource islands
Severe weather – blocks tiles and creates storms
Region prosperity/celebration – boosts economy, mining yields etc…
War / blockades- increased military presence, blocks tiles
Civil changes/rebellions – affects economy
Plagues – illness among crew

Factions

Introduce custom factions with their own attributes
Affects seller costs & stock
Unique quests & rewards based on faction
Island relationships, e.g. farms provide food to villages, influences economy
Trade routes that create merchant vessels on relevant tiles
Royal hierarchies

Objectives & Achievements

Turn the objectives into Steam achievements
More small scale objectives
More detailed objective rewards

Combat & Gear

Synergy between weapons and armour
Improve tactics, e.g. taking cover behind obstacles
Bosses

World

New islands, e.g. Towns, shipwrecks
Village names
More detailed island purchasing and management, e.g. resource production
