What's next?

The Patron alpha HUD with the final quest of the main storyline has been released. If you're not already a patron, consider pledging to test it ahead of time.
While this quest is being tested, I'll probably add in enchants. Right now I'm not 100% sure how players should acquire said enchants. Maybe something like WoW has the work order system. You place gold into research and after a day or so you gain various enchants of random qualities. I'll also be raising the level cap to 20.
Once the quest is released publicly, GoThongs will officially enter beta. At this point I will shift focus from adding new content, to tuning and fixing existing content. Some of the older quests will be tweaked. Especially the tutorial level which is a bit too difficult, and MQ06 section 2 and 3.
Once GoT hits beta, I'd also like to advertise. Let me know of any good spots to do so. Trading is a bit too extensive to add right now, which is why I'll leave it as a patreon stretch goal. I might implement it even if the goal isn't reached, but use JXC as a trading currency. Then I'll at least get a small return for spending all that time implementing it.
Pipedreams
Some stuff I would like to do, but depends on pledges/time/motivation. These are just ideas, and will likely not happen:
- Difficult 4-player coop dungeons. Non-story based dungeon crawls with a requirement of 3-4 players, where you can actually wipe on boss encounters and have to start those over. Could reward weapons, enchants, essence etc.
- A companion app similar to the WoW one. Where you can go to do your thongsmithing, enchanting etc.
