Dev Blog: Snippets from Schnitzelland

Grüezi!

We are once again kneedeep in the content update muck. We've already given you a look at the upcoming Cultist role, so we figured we'd give you a look at the other big thing coming in the next update: Schnitzelland! We're unfortunately still working on decorating the map, but what we can give you is an insight into the map mechanics.

Before we do that, though, we'd really appreciate a Steam review if you haven't given us one already. This game is built for our community and your feedback has helped shape it into what it is today. Enough begging. Let's get to the juicy stuff!

The Ski Resort and Prestige

Schnitzelland is a delightful mountain town with somewhat snooty inhabitants. The town's rich history has caused an arms race of status and standing where everybody seeks to one-up their neighbor when it comes to what's most important in life: prestige.

When playing in Schnitzelland, players will have access to the new prestige attribute. You see that little crown in the wallet? That's prestige!

As players gain prestige, new actions will unlock around town as players leave their humble lives behind and join the elite upper class. This includes access to the fabled One Percenter Burger at Clucker's and the ability to unwind in the Secret Sauna at the Gym.

Additionally, prestige grants score at the end of the game, based on how prestigious players are to the rest of the lobby. The player with the most prestige will gain the most score, then the second, and then so on and so forth. You'll have to keep an eye on the prestige of other players if you want to come out on top.

But how do you obtain prestige?

New Location: The Ski Resort

The Ski Resort is a location unique to Schnitzelland where players can perform various new actions. One of them is the Ski Jump, which allows instant travel anywhere on the map. Other actions at the Ski Resort will be your primary tools to increase your prestige.

As you start the game, you will have access to the Mingle action, which allows you to bump elbows with the upper class and increase your prestige. Shortly there after, you'll unlock the Business Lunch and Donate to Charity actions that will help you increase your prestige further.

Become prestigious enough, and you'll get access to the caviar and lobster buffet, as well as gaining the ability to laugh at common folk! What happened to you, man?

You'll be able to try all of this out for yourself very soon, but for now we'll leave you with the snootiest of Schnitzelland's residents: the Ski Resort Conscierge!

You don't want to get on her bad side.

That's it for now! See you again very soon!
