After finally getting out of the bear dungeon, I began running into places where I can't reach certain areas. Either they're gated off, or I need double/wall jump.
A thief told me about thief tools being in one of the starter caves, but it's probably in an area I can't reach. Smith told me about smithing tools in a bandit fort, but I didn't find them there.

I think I might wait for a patch that adds the mapping system, and adjusts drop rates and/or fixes favour. I'm stuck at -15 favour and get almost no meat drops, so healing's out unless I buy a ton of it at the witch lady.
How'd you get that low??? Do you permamently lose favor when you die?
I am currently at 15 favour (looks like its the max for a stat), there is a cell in first dungeon which drops infinite favors..
It seems like the game has only 2 hours of content so far (

I think it depends on how you're rushing through. I've not seen everything in the EA and I'm over 8 hours already.

And yes, I think you do lose favour when you die. Also when you use fetishes, apparently.

How do I get an outfit in this game? The Smith at the border village just chewed me out for entering his joint in my Savage undies.

Sometimes they drop from enemies, but iirc I found some in chests, or on skeletons etc. I entered the village in "hide clothes", which allowed me to pretend I was a hunter or whatever, not a runaway slave.
Then I found iron armour in one of the dungeons.
(also the smith for sure sells armour)

IMPORTANT: Before getting into this, I sent keys out to all Kickstarter backers in September of 2016!! PLEASE let me know if you didn't get your key! I've been contacted by a few of you who never got your Steam keys, so I'm worried there are a few of you left who haven't!

Hey everyone, Matt here, coming out of the grind cave for another update! Apologies for the lack of any news across EVERYTHING - it's been a pretty heavy grind to get the game where it is now, and I generally am not very good at finding a solid work/news update balance. So, apologies for keeping so quiet.

I was very unsure about Early Access, but I started to change my mind once some very kind people started asking me to make the game available in that capacity, so they could support the game and get a copy at the same time. It also helps get more eyeballs on the game that I wouldn't have otherwise, and all the extra help is greatly appreciated.

Speaking of which, thank you VERY much for all of the bug reports, feedback and critiques; this stuff is going to help me turn Savage into a MUCH better game.

All of the support across Kickstarter, early backers and the current round of Early Access has just about floored me. It is surreal and I am humbled by it, and very grateful. Thank you!!

That being said, let's talk about the game, what's currently in it, what didn't make it, and what's coming up in future content updates.



01---What%27s-In-Early-Access.png

The title screen got a significant upgrade!

01---New-Dialogue-System.png

The new dialogue system is all drawn dynamically based on it's content, has a brand new "response" window that can hold up to 11 responses, and each response can potentially be a skill check against your four primary stats (with success and failure outcomes)!

Leveling up gear and/or items to level 3 "masters" that item -- NOW you have a nice fancy UI and menu system showing you what you've unlocked across several categories!

01---Cooking-and-Alchemy.png

Alchemy and cooking are now a thing! Experiment by adding ingredients and materials to one, or all of the three available slots with a chance of creating a powerful potion, a rare crafting material, or simply cooking your raw meat to yield better healing results.

01---Consumables.png

Lots of new materials, ingredients and consumables have been added!

So I started a new game, broke out of jail without bothering about the other slaves, and when I went in later they were all dead!
Holy shit.

Neanderthal brother you gotta try this by the way.

He does - you can lift crates, stone blocks, even corpses of enemies, and throw them at other enemies. (or spikes, traps etc.)
