Sneak Peek 00.04.00:

Patch 00.04.00 will focus on setting up the Ludus and providing the first opportunities for that. This update will introduce a system to assign tasks to rooms within the Ludus, such as designating a kitchen, study room, or other functional spaces. Additionally, you'll be able to place facilities and furnish these rooms with the necessary items.

Managing the rooms in the Ludus will be a crucial part of the preparation for various activities. Some of the key rooms you can set up and manage include:

• Sleeping Quarters: Designate spaces for rest and recovery.
• Research Rooms: Equip areas for conducting research and development.
• Crafting Rooms: Prepare rooms for crafting and creating new items.
• Medical Rooms: Set up medical facilities to care for your companions.
• Dining Room: Create a communal space for meals and gatherings.
• Study Room: Establish areas for learning and skill development.
• Kitchen: Set up a kitchen to prepare food and manage provisions.

As you equip and organize the Ludus, you will be laying the groundwork for these future activities. More details about these systems will be shared in separate devlogs.

Until the next update,
