Today is the day when we talk about the MAP (again, yes).
It was a huge deal to make the map just right for trading activities, but also general exploration, combat, and all the bad stuff you want to do to your competitors or enemies.
We wanted the map to be bigger than in DDS1, and it is substantially larger. See the size comparison - it’s roughly 6X the size.
We settled on an archipelago where different islands present slightly different, recognizable biomes within our exotic setting. We have serene villages, but also rickety swampy settlements, poor towns, rich estates, and the work camp, which functions as its own region with specific mechanics and dynamics between the characters.
We have 10 distinct regions which you will traverse on foot and using different boats or quick travel options. To put it in perspective, if you’d like to jog around the entire map (plus boating yourself between isles), it’d take you around 1 hour just to take a simple route. This does not include actually sightseeing or exploring all the nooks and crannies of the islands.
We hope that the world of DDS2 will satisfy your all adventurous cravings! The journey starts on June 20, 2024, so get ready. It’s right around the corner!
