Nightingale | Dev Bites 5: Winter Update

[@Auroan]

When you guys did the Halloween event and had special Halloween theme'd rewards, I was honestly a bit nervous because a lot of games now a days have so much FOMO. But then when the Halloween event came to an end and you all announced that it's okay if you weren't playing around that time because you can still earn those rewards, that honestly earned a lot of respect and brownie points from myself and others. If future events, such as the Winter event, don't have FOMO and you maintain putting them in their separate "Special Events" tab, that would be absolutely huge. Super glad to see how well the Dev's have been working to make the game better and didn't abandon it just because of an unfortunate launch. Here's to a bright future!

[@Bunniesan]

Omg yes! I was kicking myself because I got busy around Halloween and completely forgot to finish the quests. I was so happy when I saw that I could still get all the decorations!

[@Katari1260]

Keep being awesome guys! All these changes are so lovely, not just the ones after Realms Rebuilt, you can feel your passion for the game!

[@M0tr1ch]

It's so great to see you guys continue to enjoy the development of the game, I love the game, it's one of the best I've ever played.

[@lightslionsshikari]

I have to say, I just started playing this game again in December (I bought it when it first came out) and it’s been a blast. Definitely an excellent survival crafting game. Love the regular updates as well!

[@barãosamedii]

I love the game and I would like it to be more recognized, I hope u guys can continue producing and improving this wonder. Winter Update

[@Samuitsuki]

I quickly fell in love with the game back with the play tests, and every update has just made the game even greater with each release.

[@mikeblake3001]

Keep doing these regular updates - I tend to watch these before I read the updates in steam, as it gives me a flavour of what you are getting excited about.

[@Renhaiv]

Greetings, gentlemen. I appreciate everything you have done in the game, and will enjoy the updates that come. I hope you have a nice and happy Christmas and that Nightingale has the success it deserves.

[@Jen-lh2nq]

So excited for all the great things you have coming!

[@ceritusorbis]

Absolutely love how much the game has been changing and evolving. You all are great, the game is great - please keep it up!

[@matthewjandreau88]

As someone who has been following and playing for a while, I am LOVING the latest updates and I'm pumped for all of these updates - especially the NPCs! I think you guys have built a great foundation and it's great to see you iterate and willing to take big risks based on feedback like the realms reborn update. I'm loving the game and so happy and excited to be along for the ride 🙂

[@tangomcphearson74]

Nightingale deserves it's success!! This game's developement has been wonderful to watch and participate in. Thank you for all of the hard work you all have done.

[@BorgWolf359]

I love Nightingale! I am so hopeful for the future! I am very happy your game is being updated & being developed further!!! Keep up the good work!

[@harpydream6615]

I'm so excited for npc running stuff! Like really make the world feel alive and lived in !

[@valenclark923]

Love seeing the humans behind the update posts and adore seeing this game flourish - so keen to play! ❤

[@natefoldan]

These guys have a great vibe to them. Love seeing the continued effort to make the game as good as it can be!

[@SplitSkunk]

Thank you for continuing to upload these. I look forward to hearing any and all updates ❤

[@Mixnar98]

Very happy for the augments changes, hate having to keep moving augments away from tables to have the set of bonuses I want for a certain item. Saves a lot of time and annoyingess !!! Great stuff and cant wait for that to arrive soon! :D

[@mikeekim8567]

always a joy to see another one of these I havent been rooting for any game this much in years

[@SplitSkunk]

Same bro

[@ToplessTopics]

I'm excited to see how self sufficient the npc workers behave...one reason I quickly gave up on Aska was because just getting the necessary tools made for the npcs in it was a constant slog. I was so busy taking care of them that I rarely got to ever leave the base!

[@Ragnarok6664]

Huzzah! 🥳 🎉 merry christmas and wish you further joyous recognition and development 👌🏻 Just wrapped up Welkins reach and is facing way more challenging foes in the swamp realm

[@kingm1ll]

I love all the updates guys! Keep up the great work! What we really need though... more realms/biomes and more story! I want to continue my journey! Love yall :)

[@samuelrosander1048]

Player-created NPC colony towns when? :) Something like.... create "colony" recruit NPCs tell NPCs to go to your colony where they will live/work maybe have a max number of NPC colonists per realm maybe require a special magical structure that provides a larger protective radius than the estate cairn maybe require a special gate for RP purposes that allows the NPCs to "leave" if ever the realm gets "lost" (player inactivity or whatever) maybe have an option to "send" NPCs to Nightingale city when that becomes a thing (saving humanity is kinda our thing after all)

[@wyvernkraehe6879]

Absolutely loving the updated estate features! 😊

[@Neon-Flux]

Hope the game gains more new players and returners, merry Xmas and have good new year nightingale team ♥️

[@benwil6048]

Great news on the reviews etc 🎉

[@mrdisaster5880]

I really wish you guys success.

[@mae3002]

lovely dev update, some weird audio blips from I assume the noise gate you guys have on the mic you use to record this. As usual, great work on the game I'm really jazzed to see the upgrades you guys are making to the player experience. Very happy to see the upgrades to the NPC system : )

[@Kiernnan]

I’m so excited for the changes. I really love this game. I’m looking forward to the game developing toward the fae stuff….

[@bhardasullivan720]

That's an interesting shirt you got there, mate. ...y'know, Yoshida has a collection of interesting shirts, too. Bit of a tradition, around those interesting shirts. ...I theorized a while back that there was a very interesting aesthetic to a certain class of antagonists, in game. And, more recently, I find it interesting that the Sheliak Quest option requires a particular kind of component, yeah?

[@brodock_2]

I’m so excited for the update, especially the darkness spell mwuahahahaha, I got 17 million on a hit yesterday and I wanna see how high our team can push it with new spells

[@ta02asan]

As always, Great job!

[@GlitchedVision]

so, not sure if devs read the comments here on YT but would it be at all possible to have a little sound cue put in that plays when a food buff falls off? I live off of hunger potions because my vision makes it hard for me to keep up with the buff icons so I never know when I've lost a buff and need to eat for it despite my hunger bar still being full lol

[@jeaninep5870]

The update sounds great. Have a nice Holliday season guys🎉

[@Slashhappycinema]

Got 41 hours in and am hooked!

[@HenningRauth]

Don't invest too much time. They deleted everything once, they will do it again. There are always fanboys telling you "every game does it" (which is a lie) but the lazy programmers will take it as clue that they can delete instead of investing a few hours to migrate data.

[@Slashhappycinema]

@HenningRauth Wtf really?

[@mobajango]

Here is a great idea. When you go to sleep, have an option for your npc to automatically change cosmetics.

[@Wombats555]

Love you guys I'm 600 hours and loving my Mary Poppins with a six shooter:)

sooo.. I have a question about the "listen servers" how will that work? exactly? LIke do we have to make another new character? or is this going to be like "ofline" mode where we cant have out character go from "offline" to online and back again? is it ALSO going to be separate from "online" modes?

[@Wombats555]

Obsidian Fae architecture? Woooot!

[@miah6202]

Thanks guys, sounds great. Do I need an online or offline character to do this co-op listening server thing?

[@miah6202]

ANYBODY?

Im just waiting for the dyes update to come

Same, i can't stand the random colors. Or following guides to avoid awful coloring haha.

i hope the automation system is similar to soulmask, i think that one is awesome

Does this mean NPCs will move into buildings you build for them?

[@TheAnxiousOwl]

Question... what happened to the two girls I always watched before launch?

[@retalaonteany7899]

Still waiting for true private dedicated servers support to host our own servers for clans.

[@anubisshadowreaper8808]

Do you guys plan on bringing the game to console

[@Samuitsuki]

They haven't stated that they won't, but I think you will need to wait for them to have had actual released the 1.0 edition before that would consider porting to consoles.

[@cedric77777]

I wish you will put an emphasis on the story, cutscene, that kind of thing to get more immerse into this world. I feel like there's not enough survival games that do that and it's a shame cause a good story, a few cut scenes, npcs with voices etc makes you more involved into the world and gives a bit more reason to keep grinding and participate in the world building. For example New World (yes I know its not a survival game) implemented cut scenes and focus on the story telling, and despite the fact that the story is not amazing or groundbreaking , you feel more immersed. I don't know just a thought.

[@Samuitsuki]

Some of the npcs do have voiced dialogue, but could be nice to have more of them voiced.

[@davidmica420]

nice

[@benwil6048]

Azerty-support plz ❤

[@ConradFiat]

A bit awkward that its today December 17th with no real update. So probably bug crushing after all? I am glad we can have more NPC's as well. Finally i can create a nice settlement that actually does look like a town that functions. Shame i am not hearing anything about the defense mechanics that had been teased way before the release. Let alone some militaristic appearance items seeing that there are soldiers that just look like boy scouts. Uniforms or webbings. Helmets would be nice. This is also being shown in the intro with the neat steampunk mercenary type gear. Seeing we have the elegant fancy outfits, the more rugged militaristic stuff would be greatly appreciated. And i am confident i am not the only one by the looks of things. Same for the base building, more free placebles like palisade walls, sandbags. Medium sized towers? (I am referencing things from the magwytch marshes town) Giving a rugged dangerous look, which the realms are. Anyways, shame there's so little for this update. No mention of the 'coming soon' for item customization.

[@Fungables]

If you cut out the eula violation of my privacy agreement that offends me to my core I will buy the game, otherwise you just lost two sales.
