November Progress
🕑 Added 2019-11-30 00:15:01 +0000 UTCHey guys hope you are all doing well and prepared for the upcoming holidays 🙂 We had a really great month, thank you all so much for your support!
Let me briefly go over some of the stuff I worked on this past month.
I started out by working on the dungeons a bit trying to get a better idea of how the backgrounds will look and be constructed. Keep in mind this isn't final art but it gives an general idea of how I want them to look, with much more polish in the end.
I worked on the dungeon logic and added doors that can be used to traverse between floors and save your progress after clearing them so you can return directly to any floor you've previously unlocked.
Improved functionality on the UI character screens, and improved gamepad support for the game and input improvements overall. So you should be able to play with keyboard and mouse or a controller and switch between them whenever you want.
Added a new game mechanic that I'm calling chimera genes. When you level up a monster class to a certain point you'll unlock slots that allow you to select traits and combat abilities that you've unlocked from other monster classes. It will let you customize your classes a bit and hopefully allow for some interesting strategies.
Created the orc character model and started working on some of his animations and will continue working on him through the next couple months. The animation viewer will have the orc and yeti skin with the 2 current looping animations.
Plans for December
I plan to continue work on the dungeon prototype by starting to build out the layout I have designed and make sure it is ready for play-testing. The first release will have slime monsters(and variations) fully implemented. As the game develops the prototype is intended to morph into the tutorial dungeon and it will be the place where you unlock the first monster form and gain the powers of the lowly slime 🙂
Dropbox link for the animation viewer will go out after the pledges are processed by Patreon which should be a few days from now.
I'm really excited about the continued growth and development of the game and I hope you are too!
