Sinathir 0.21 - Trapping and blood staves


Patch for this month is out. It contains hangout option for Suong, which should have been released last month. It also contains basic trapping and a simple quest chain for members of the church. Let's go more in depth.

Suong hangout

Nothing crazy here. I added hangout option to Suong. Once you unlock said option, you can now spend more time with her and raise your relationship higher.

New items

I also added new suit of armor and a kiparis smg. Both of these can be bought from Mr. White once you meet him. The armor in particular is the strongest piece in the game right now.

Blood staves quest chain

I "added" blood staves in previous update. These were unobtainable, because I wanted to finish the quest for obtaining them first. 

I added new minor NPC to Riverstone. Once you join the church, he will give you a simple quest to get one part of a blood staff. You will have to finish a second quest for Helena to get the last part. 

Right now, there are two staves in the game. Fire and flesh. You can own only one. They allow you to cast weak spell coresponding to staff directly with your endurance. You will need to have the staff equiped. It doesn't have to be your primary weapon. As I expand the "magic" system in the future, staves will have more uses and will get stronger spells. This is just a beginnig.

Trapping system

The goal for this month. I added the trapping system together with two simple traps. Fish trap and box trap. You get the recipes and knowledge to use them after learning basics of hunting skill.

Fish traps are simple to use. Get the trap, find spot in water with bubbles and place it. Come back next week and you will get random fish.

Box trap is similiar, but you will also need a bait. You can craft bait from multiple ingredients (press S to switch recipes). These must be placed on specific spots that look like sand patches with black dots on them. They glow when you come near them.

Once you catch a fish or animal, you must butcher them first at butchers table (In front of Billy's house). Fish give a lot of meat while animals give you leather or feathers. You can also sell them.

I also fixed some minor issues and improved some windows. For example, friends list now changes heart icon if the person is considered your friend.


Next patch will focus on adding more functionality to old NPC. This will most likely be both Tadeas and Marcus. I will add some introductory dialogue to them and make them recruitable. I will also try to finish the main quest dungeon I talked about some months ago.

If you find any bugs, report them here, on the message board or write me an e-mail. Most bugs in the game are the ones I just didn't catch and they will stay in the game for a long time if you don't report them.

Full changelog:

  • Added basic traps together with some animals you can catch
  • Added hangout option to Suong
  • Added quests to obtain a blood staff
  • Added light plate armor and kiparis
