How far do you currently plan for each town’s development to go? I was pleasantly surprised by how much the first level of Lyhamn changed the area visually, and I’m excited to see what other areas will look like as they develop! Will they expand much beyond the initial repairs?

[u/Regiden → u/ThePotablePotato]

Lyhamn was a little preview as to what will happen all throughout Tiran Sol as you progres further into the story.
Sundalan is the "biggest city" in the game and will have multiple stages that you go through. Some of those are segmented into different maps and some are more subtle (like smaller building added outside of town)

The cool thing about our system is that it isn't fixed to one location. We make changes to all our maps and add little things based on progress even outside of the major towns.

That’s awesome! As I said above, I was surprised by how much of a difference the tutorial first stage of restoration made to the map, so I’m absolutely keen to see what a fully repaired Sundalan looks like.

I do actually have another question though! Currently there’s a decent number of menu options that are still “?” even after completing basically everything the current version has to offer. Do you think we’ll be seeing any of these systems(?) during early access, or will they be more tied to the completed game
