Patron Early Access! Game Modes
🕑 Added 2021-04-10 01:10:14 +0000 UTCHello friends,
We've a sneak preview for all our patrons: early access on Steam to a new feature we've been hacking on for a while, game modes. Here's a run down on what they are.
Classic - the standard Qud experience as its officially supported today
Roleplay - checkpointing at settlements. When you die, you have the option to reload from the last checkpoint. Your checkpoint is automatically set whenever you enter or leave a settlement.
Wander - checkpointing at settlements, PLUS the following:
- Your reputation with every faction starts at 0 (or higher), meaning most* creatures start neutral to you
- You get no XP for kills
- You get more XP for discoveries, completing quests, and performing the water ritual. This amount scales with your level.
* Aggressive creatures of neutral factions will still attack you.
Daily Challenge - standard daily challenge, same as is currently in the game.
This is a rough alpha, and the normal caveats apply: there'll be more polish to come, and there's a chance the whole feature will change. Until then, though, let us know what your early impressions are!
How to Access (Steam only)
Unlock private betas (access code: thenoiseisthesignal) and switch to the alpha branch. (Right-click Caves of Qud > Properties > Betas > enter beta access code > select alpha branch).
Live and drink, friends, and enjoy!

What's that sound I hear? Oh right, it's the sound of me remembering why I donate to you.
