Last month Inflexion Games admitted that the next big update to Nightingale would take quite some time to arrive. So how is it going to pad the time between now and then? With a peek at how it designed Sun Giants for starters.
The dev blog talks about the Sun Giants (or Skycallers) gentle and nomadic nature, their preferred biome (that would be the desert), and some lore about them. It also talks about how these NPCs are some of the first ones that players can barter with, calling back to the idea that not every creature players encounter should be met with violence.
Incidentally, trading automaton parts with a Sun Giant will award players with pellucidic ingots, so if you happen to see a big fella stomping through the desert, maybe walk up and say “hi” to them.
