Description
Endnight Games, developers of the survival game Sons of the Forest, have revealed some exciting plans for the game's AI friends Kelvin and Virginia. During a recent community Q&A held on Discord and Reddit, the developers confirmed that they have "big plans" for companions. According to the developers, they plan to add more tasks for Kelvin to do, including helping build walls and fortify bases. Meanwhile, Virginia's AI will be updated to make her more courageous when wielding a weapon and based on the number of mutants or cannibals she has killed. Fans of the game have already dubbed Kelvin the "new best guy in video games." The Q&A also revealed that Endnight plans to add more story details and cutscenes to the game, as well as more crafting elements and variety in cannibal camps. The developers are also working on adding dedicated servers, though they don't have an exact release date for this feature.
Interestingly, Endnight was surprised by the number of requests to return wooden sleds from the original game, The Forest. Although the developers were initially unsure whether to include the feature due to bugs in the first game, they have since decided to include it based on community feedback.
However, the developers were cautious about making promises they couldn't keep and did not provide concrete answers to all questions raised during the Q&A session. They revealed that they have ideas for a "faster form of transportation" in the game, but are reluctant to reveal more details until they are sure it will work well with the game's environment. .
Sons of the Forest has already been dubbed the "most fun game on the internet" by some, with one player even speeding through the game in just nine minutes. The game community has been proactive in hosting Q&A sessions with the developers, demonstrating their enthusiasm and investment in the development of the game.
