GodvilleOn the SideHey, gods and goddess. Did you enjoy the special Halloween event in Godville? Risen monsters, activatable pumpkins, angry tribbles and the surreal pumpkin trade - we're pretty sure the heroes were baffled too. As many of you noticed, there was a new thing this year. Yes, we're talking about that cryptic progress indicator in the hero's stats.
*Side Jobs*
Let's welcome a new source of profit and trouble for our champions - side jobs. After level 25, heroes may find them on bulletin boards located at the "points of interest":https://godvillegame.com/blog/post/116. Side jobs don't interfere with regular questing and are done simultaneously. Unlike regular quests, which are somewhat routine, side jobs call for a more creative approach. For example, a hero may be asked to sell certain artifacts or even... get resurrected.
A side job can be failed if it's not finished it in time (which is usually a day or two). Failing a side job is not a big deal, as no client in their right mind would trust anything important to our heroes. However, some jobs are easily doable and heroes will finish them on their own. In the best of ZPG tradition, you - the god - can get involved as much or as little as you want.
Halloween side jobs were new and experimental. Those should be almost over by now. After few days there will be new and more regular (but still somewhat experimental) side jobs ready to be taken on.
*Friends Management*
A few words on friends. Up until recently, deletion from your friends list essentially worked as a block - the person was deleted from your list, but from the other side you're still shown as a "friend" that can be "messaged"... into the void. With the latest app update, this option is called "Block". Also, there is a new "Delete" option, which deletes you from the other person's list as well. Keep in mind that after this deletion the second party can add and message you again.
*App Updates*
Side jobs and the other new features require latest version of Godville app. Updates for "Android":https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.godvillegame.android and "Windows Phone":https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/godville/9nblggh08jw3 are already available in their stores ("iOS":https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/godville/id353421868?mt=8 update will follow up once it gets through Apple's app review process). Besides of the new options, there are few other things as well: you can now see god names and boss abilities in dungeons and sails without having to open the details screen. Very handy.2018-11-01T16:01:53ZWinterkorn<p>Very cool! I’m looking forward to the IOS update.<br />
Thanks for still working on the game.</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:13:14 +0000Jimbob64<p>This sounds like a pleasant addition to our heroes’ lives. Thank you for it. It’s like having optional sidequests in addition to main quests.</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:17:48 +0000Divine Porcupine<p>Thank you Kanye, very cool!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:22:55 +0000Djonni<p>I was hoping Side Jobs were permanent, and not just a Halloween event! Hooray, I’m looking forward to seeing more!</p>
<p>Should suggestions for Side Jobs be submitted into the Quests category of the Ideabox, or into Awesome Ideas?</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:28:10 +0000Dogess<p>Woohoo! Thanks, devs! You’re constantly improving mechanics and content. Much appreciated!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:40:39 +0000Artsonian<p>Looks awesome! The “seeing boss abilities” is a nice little quality of life boost along with the more exciting side quests!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:40:44 +0000Hairplug4men<p>Looking good Developers! More side jobs for the heroes and increasing the possibilities of this game like a boss! Love it and keep it up.</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:48:43 +0000Hershey Almighty<p>Thanks devs! Great additions and improvements to an already awesome game!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:02:15 +0000Queenclaire<p>This game just keeps getting better! Also noticed you can select text in the friend chats instead of how in the past the whole message would get copied</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:21:50 +0000Andrele<p>Side jobs looking awesome. Thanks for making this game even better with each update!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:24:30 +0000Wawajabba<p>Side jobs sound like something fun to interact with. Thanks for the changes!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:30:32 +0000KamiNappa<p>Oh, the iOS update is yet to be approved? That explains why I didn’t see any of that side quest stuff.</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:31:55 +0000Gehkad0<p>About additional tasks well! Interesting idea. About friends is difficult, it is not always possible to correctly remove. Not really a blocking system for deleting friends)<br />
<em>it is a pity that the pumpkins were a short time, at least three days</em> ?</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:54:06 +0000The Mighty Stang<p>So very kewl. Any tme I see <strong>Godville</strong> in the update list, it’s like Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, this year should be very interesting…</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 17:54:26 +0000Lul-Master<p>New features!<br />
Though I never noticed the Halloween side missions (unless they were the Halloween items in my heroine’s inventory?)</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 19:13:27 +0000Augnoramous<p>Yay! Fun, again!</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 19:28:58 +0000Leara<p>I’m an Android user and I’ve been enjoying the new update :-)</p>Thu, 01 Nov 2018 22:10:27 +0000AgWolf<p>Really like the side jobs idea. Thank you for another great update for the game.</p>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 00:05:29 +0000All Mighty Joyce<p>Thanks devs, can’t wait for the new improvements</p>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 00:11:49 +0000Saltamontes<p>Just wonderfull. Love everything about the game and the comunity you have created.</p>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 02:22:09 +0000Forest King<p>So are their rewards for side jobs?</p>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 02:23:59 +0000Twifight Sparkill<p>I love new challenges.

What’s considered an “adventure”?</p>Tue, 06 Nov 2018 23:30:49 +0000FeRDNYC<p>Thanks, devs! Looking forward to watching our heroes explore their new side hustles.</p>
<p>One nitpick regarding the announcement itself: The notification text ends with,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Find more info on this and other aspects of heroes’ lives in the <a>FAQ</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>But there is not a <strong>single</strong> word in the FAQ about <em>any</em> aspect of the announcement, never mind “more” info.</p>Wed, 07 Nov 2018 13:24:18 +0000Urban Zombie<p>Thanks Devs sounds good to me</p>Sat, 10 Nov 2018 10:01:00 +0000Lastirishpanda<p>You guys rock! Loving all the updates ? Been playing this game for almost 8 years, and every single update has improved the game immensely.</p>Tue, 13 Nov 2018 20:11:33 +0000
