The Rundown

Been working hard lately on the next big patch for Uagi and I wanted to run some things by everyone. This is not really a patch post but an announcement to discuss the plans for Uagi in the next few months, a road map some would call it.

My current goal is to release Uagi into Steam Full Access November 30th, this may still change but I am pretty set on this goal. Very excited.

The next big patch will be released either mid or end October depending on how things go. I also plan to do a second patch a couple weeks before full release, this will include the final end game content and should be rolling in mid November.

Uagi-Saba has now officially  been in development 894 Days (2.4) years.

Upcoming Patch Content

 I really want to take my time with this one so I can squeeze in a lot of new content. The next patch will be an optional update for the player and will include the following.

New And Improved Body Part Color System

Previously Mystics had three color genes that determined their overall skin pigment (covering the whole body). Now with the use of a helpful extension I am able to color individual body parts! This is something I have wanted since the start of development. Now each body part has it's own three unique color genes that determine its color. This makes for some pretty amazing color combinations and every player is guaranteed to have a completely unique mystic.

New Room Biomes 

I will be introducing new room biomes with the next patch. Chiseled stones and vines make up this lovely new set of rooms. These will have their own unique set of object spawns.

Balance Of Resource Management And Creature Care 

Resource management has started to become a bit more important than creature breeding in terms of balance. Uagi-Saba is a creature breeding game and I want it to feel more that way. some have said there is too much running around/busy work and that leaves less time for breeding and other things. I completely agree and I'm working on making changes to help with this. Though I still want there to be a challenge I don't want it too hard to hatch a few mystics and have a good time without stressing about resources and timers too much.

New Mystic Skill System 

The player will be able to teach each of their mystics one of three skills depending on if mystics have the required stats. The skills are "Smash", "Repair" and "Decipher" and all will be needed to proceed to end game. Though the next patch will not have the game ending the player will still be able to teach and use skills.

-Improved and expanded tutorial.
-New Mystic body parts.
