I love the communication Inflexion has with its players. Thank you!

[@LifeisReal1990]

I am so glad the devs are listening to the players. The offline mode is a great idea for people who loses internet and still wants to play Nightingale. Thanks for that addition!

[@drusalinz]

Online or offline ....game is total bullshityyy survival with stupid mechanics. 2024 all games is only online with nice life support! Leave your basement please.

[@Samuitsuki]

​@@drusalinzWhat?

[@NotAScamm]

@@Samuitsuki Ignore them. Don't give people like this the attention they want.

[@McMTG]

800 people is rather easy to listen to :P thats the current people playing according to steam charts

[@funkopopssmoked]

I'm soooo happy they are adding offline mode for my steam deck it sucked not having it I litterly played one 2 days seen all online and stopped playing so this is a huge thing to me

[@eurechel]

Happy about the monthly updates, I'm sure offline was a beast to get done behind the scenes. Thank you for the hard work!

[@R-L-D]

lol what? it's far easier to develop a game with LESS features especially a complicated networking portion.

[@eurechel]

@@R-L-D I'm sorry but it's obvious you are not a software dev. Something like this is akin to changing all the the routing for the plumbing and electrical in a house. Sure, it can be done, but it touches everything in the whole house. It takes a lot of time. Another example would be changing a major plot point in a book. Sure, it can be done, but the the ripple effect changes the entire story. So you've done a full edit pass after. In a software program they have changed the authority and location where they are saving/loading data. Data used throughout the program. Sure, it can be done, but the data for the world the player is in touches everything in the game. I'm sure it caused a full QA pass with lots of bugs. This also wasn't a replacement, they have to support both sets of "plumbing", both "plot lines", and both "data locations". I'm impressed they have a version in our hands already. This is the kind of thing a bad studio stumbles on until giving up. So from one software dev to another, kudos, nice work 😎👍

[@R-L-D]

@@eurechel Blah blah blah. It's not hard and especially when done from the start. They brought the extra work on themselves by not understanding the player base before they started development.

[@eurechel]

@@R-L-D well it's hard to argue with "blah blah blah". In hindsight that's correct, they could have made an offline only mode faster than a networking mode, but development is not as simple as most seem to think. You are also projecting that everyone has the same ideals desires or goals for the game you do. I for one, don't care about offline mode at all. I play with my sons and friends. I'm happy they got it done for people who do care, but I'm happy they have it behind them and can focus more on new content and iterating on the game itself.

[@chaosmeisters6781]

@@R-L-D Dude, if that was their goal to make an SP game, yea you are right, SP would be easier then MP. But since they wanted MP first, retooling it to SP is a momentous undertaking. No matter your feelings.

[@time_travel_lord]

I'm proud of the studio for keeping the promise for an offline mode. Thank you for getting this pushed out so soon!

[@Jade-PG]

amazing stuff! definitly jumping back in next week!

[@benwil6048]

Perfect toggle for build from storage ❤

[@jasonmiller9549]

It's truly invigorating to see a company so dedicated to its community, and having a COO who directly engages with the player base is a breath of fresh air. Creating a game of this caliber is no small feat, and with these thoughtful updates, it feels like the community is an integral part of the journey. Kudos to the team for their fantastic work on such an amazing game! It's also wonderful to see the appreciation for modders, whose creativity and passion have sustained games like Ark: Survival Evolved for years. Keep up the incredible work!

[@First_Chapter]

It's refreshing for a development studio to be clear and transparent and explain how 'a thing' works including aspects that may be a disappointment to players without trying to fudge or camouflage this.

[@grilledcheese1567]

The game is going in the right direction! Glad to hear your plans going forward!

[@jonathansullivan8217]

down from 47k peak in Feb to 1.7K in the last 30 days tells me the game isn't at all

[@grilledcheese1567]

@@jonathansullivan8217 It's a fun game for me. That's all I'm gonna say.

[@thomasallen3570]

Very nice. Only thing I really want is a 'Base Gear Value' preview on items before crafting. Materials raise items but only so far, meaning early game gear cant reach the required Gear Score of later game pieces. Id love to see the base gear value of a piece of gear/tool before I start adding materials to it, to know if it really will be an upgrade before I start crafting parts for it. Also, a preview system for gear would be amazing, to see if I like the look before crafting. Fashion-gale players would probably enjoy that, haha.

[@SpeedFragger]

Thanks for listening ! Offline Mode is very important to me especially with unstable internet I have in my house ! now I can peacefully play the game offline .

[@NorgerLegacy]

Offline mode is great, but sad that you cant rent you own server just for you and friends, also with a local server for players/friends could play modded together. Also offline mode with local server support for mutliplayer would also reduce cost for the devs to reduce the amount of servers needed.

[@CosmoConnor]

Personally I don't need an Offline Mode, but you guy's are amazing ❤

[@cheezabelle]

I can't wait for offline mode. Thank you!

[@truthtoad]

BIG THANKS to all you developers who are working on all of the updates! Thanks for making this a real community game experience!

[@Rynosnoborder]

Soft Caps and Hard caps is really smart. Not only does this reward us for being smart, but it makes it so we won't want to just have all the same material, which in turn makes the weapons and armors look more interesting.

[@alecbaldwin7407]

I waited until offline mode came then bought Nightingale yesterday morning. Played it for the first time that evening. Well done dev team!

[@Adamgoodperson]

Thank you for the update as always! They're well done, and everyone seems patient and excited at the same time.

[@lunarwaslost]

Sweet, thanks for all the hard work guys. Nightingale is a beautiful game I still have to dive deeper!

[@funkopopssmoked]

Offline mode was a HUGE thing to me i havent played much after i found out it was online this is gonna bring me back to this title as soon as its available on steam deck i only use that not my pc

[@CaptainStocky]

You guys are amazing! Keep up the great work and the constant communication. You are a breath of fresh air. Proud to have supported this game since day 1.

[@krchilcoat1]

Thanks Nightingale Team, you guys rock! I look forward to your future updates!

[@Ferrinflame]

Thank you! The content of this announcement has all pushed me over the fence in making a purchase as soon as finances allow, so I hope we'll see continued support of the offline mode!

[@bones4bones]

THANK YOU for new body types. i've been dying for a bit more realism in bodies for character customisation. hype is strong for the update!

[@kykywox]

Finally I can now pause the game if I need to drain the lizard! Devs: You will need to create a new character... Oh... :(

[@PlayNightingale]

We hear you on that! Character migration from online to offline is a priority and should be available soon.

[@kykywox]

@@PlayNightingale Good to hear! Thanks for the reply :)

[@joshuawarnock478]

@@PlayNightingale What about the people asking about console ports, do you hear them?

[@Mochnant]

This offline mode isn't really what the players I know (myself included) were asking for. What we wanted was to not be dependent on very slow hosted servers, which often took 60 seconds to move realm to realm. This is a completely offline, solo mode (no multiplayer at all, including co-op?!?!) that requires a new character. Unfortunately I don't think I would find this useful at all in the current form.

[@PostmortemGamingStudio]

This is great news for me since I'm a solo player. I had to stop playing before the last update but now that some of the updates are rolling out that I needed in the game are there and im ready to get back to the grind! Thank you devs for working hard and focusing on the community.✌️

[@wardenm]

Nice! Now just for more decorations and furniture stuff!!!

[@AttorneyGamer]

Furniture and decorations should be the very bottom of their priorities.

[@DadofScience]

Great work, folks. I'm hellishly busy with work, so by the time I play again it will be 0.30 + some. Can't wait!

[@RemedieX]

Wow, the progress on offline has been extremely fast ngl

[@miss_pelt]

Love that you take feedback and give as much back, love that offline mode is coming already. With that said, I would like to hear if LAN co-op is on your radar? Me and my husband would love that, one of us hosting and the other joining, without the need to be online. Now, I certainly would not expect this to be a high priority, but at least considered for the future as a way to preserve the game for the future where servers no longer are available. Keep up the great work, looking forward to each update from you all.

[@BorgWolf359]

Thank you for everything you do to make your game for us to play even better! I love Nightingale & all the adventures I have had in the Realms! Looking forward to the community event! Thank you for an awesome early access game!

[@AKABoondock19]

Good job getting a offline mode out so fast

[@1darkthought]

Literally perfect update. My only suggestion is that once a character goes offline, it stays offline permanently. I noticed they were careful in their language about offline mode, which makes me think that this will be the case.

[@Samuitsuki]

That's also how I understood it.

[@pthunderhorse238]

That is what they said. Off line characters will not be allowed in online modes nor will online characters be allowed in offline mode(for now). They are working on the transfer system from online to offline.

[@habu6486]

Great work, folks. Super excited to see the game development progress!

[@Enders]

Holy shit you guys actually did it! WOW. What an impressive feat. Kick ass. Great work to all involved.

[@AlexSchendel]

Thank you for the great communication and thank you for continuing to deliver great updates to this game!

I was happy about offline mode, but I am conflicted. My main character and realm mean a lot to me now. I don't think I can start again, at least right now. I am hopeful this update encourages more players to Nightingale!

[@TheMindBuddah]

Absolutely love everything about this and loved my playtime on launch. But i think i will be waiting now till 1.0 before i dive back in! Not a refection on your work, but it really needs more content and gameplay loops. Fantastic what you have already done, and i am excited to see where you go with this amazing experience.

[@ADEADMANWALKING]

Keep it up! 💯

[@skuldcold]

Get this man a more fun office 👍

[@NotAScamm]

Probably one of my favorite games so far. I have about 100 hours in the game at the moment. I do think some things need balanced though. My weebly revolver is better than the best possible rifle or shotgun I can make. The damage is higher, reload faster, and I have few range limitations with the charm of the sniper. I could be missing something though.

[@sempraviar9775]

After 2 months away from NG mabe i will reeinstall it! Good job to all the team!

[@takamichinoku4167]

Having no offline mode really turned me off to play the game. I'm glad that the devs listened to the players though and I'll definitely be jumping back into the game.

[@alucard366]

well late game backpacks with just for example haddock ox tier 2 as the leather for a (+15) weight and upgraded to epic on a well placed bench in a world NOT buffing the equipment will result in an unstable carry weight effect (as that is only place i can think is causing the new weight+ on item) resulting in a roughly 1/6th loss in the items carry weight (just an fyi the haddock ox tier 2 is equivalent to a tier [as i may have tier wrong] aka a 15 and no i don't have that on it anymore but still got the instable) so either a a well made crafting area is counter intuitive (+5 carryweight) or the upgrading with bench (making item epic) or just using good base not exploited mats results in a penalty so from all i can tell we are punished because of people who did the ingot exploit

[@AnotherFancyUser]

You people need to create more endgame, you have a bunch of ideas, different factions / different guilds, being able to join those guilds, reputation system, get quests/radiant quests to level up said reputation, get more crafting items, loot, etc. each time you level up that reputation, quests to farm from plants to ingots to items, to kill certain enemies, to go to vaults, etc. I mean, you can do more stuff for the people that min maxed their character and has like 2k of each resource.

[@LegendaryNuggets]

It would be nice if we could download our worlds from our online save so we can play them offline if the servers ever get shut down.

[@georgeman27]

Really looking forward to playing!

[@robertrosenthal7264]

Today I made a full set of the Sentinel clothes. Too bad the scarves use the coat slot, especially since they were much weaker than the Sentinel's Coat. There's no Sentinel backpack or hat, but they do have the Hunter's Hat, and that other one... (? Investigators Hat ?) I ended up going with the Hunter's Hat, it just looks better. I'd kill for some way to dye the clothes, way too many tans & browns. I like colorful. Even black would look colorful in contrast to the Desert biome. Since this is KZbin, I doubt the Nightingale devs will ever see this, but hey, it might spark some talk among us players.

[@griffihn]

took you guys a bit to actually make an attribute cap for items without pissing off everyone who utilized the "creative" way of boosting those stats. congrats, i think you actually managed to make it the right way. nice of you to go the warframe way of "let's not call it an exploit but turn it into a feature".

Mods create communities around a game. All you have to do to see this is look at Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3, FONV, FO4. Without mods I doubt any of these games would be as relevent as they still are. That said, Your game is one of my favorite games and I really like the directions you are taking it. I mean Edger Allen Poe! so cool! Would also be cool as hell to meet Jules Vern in your game. I would also love to see a follower that you can contruct like a clockwork follower or a steam powered follower.

Mods need to be added later though. Mods added now create more problem. People install mods and complain about problems caused by mods. People get mad about updates breaking mods, and other issues.

[@delarosa6254]

thanks for your great game . I'm a base builder and have over the 5k hours in various games like yours . big not is your building sets is sum of the best i ever saw. for a request is a way to remove structures that clapped through the world mesh even if that takes it to nuke a radius of any structures. like a gun that will only work on the players own structures. ark had a building gun in the n+ mods . but my point is cliped building foundations mess with the build selection i build on say i want to build on building 12 but it keeps on reverting to building 11. even less complex way is make the buildings 1-100 selectable by mouse wheel down or up

[@samuelrosander1048]

Thanks for continuing to improve the game. I'm happy to keep restarting to help find the bugs. Nice. Seeing the actual items you will start with is great. That'll help clear up some confusion as to starting gear. The soft cap will make it tough to work into the app I'm building for item planning, but if it's something simple like a flat % reduction rather than a logarithmic scale that'll be doable at least. Challenge accepted...when it arrives.

Is the app kind of like DIM for destiny 2?

That's the long time from the first time I play nightingale, now I do some search about other people playing this game, at the end of the game they do fight a lot. but from my play time, the beginning of the game is quite slow, hard to find the creature to make a fight, that is a huge gatekeeping make people give up the game before reach the end content of the game. Not sure how is the game now, but I will play again to see if there are some new things can erase the Gatekeeping, because I love the art and the mysterious feeling the game give me

Exploration doesn't feel satisfying or meaningful, combat is super weak, the gear level system is so bad, and the AI is 1 IQ. Trailers made the game seem like way more than it actually is.

Now after 15 hours it is very boring, since everything is same: you get to the spot, monsters are spawing, litarally same bioms with just different skins, and so on. There is no exploration. This is why you have so low amount of online players. But visual part is really great.
