Bi-Weekly Update #43


Well, things shape up for the next update to the game being the one that will make the entire first part of the game. Here’s the progress report:

Journal:
Some of you may remember that I was talking about some test side missions. Well, the script that was supposed to handle them didn’t work as I wanted and as such I had to find an alternative. With a new script, I reworked it and it’s converted into a journal system. As part of the diary, all missions (including the story related) are tracked on it’s own menu. Objectives and active missions are shown on the menu and it’s pretty easy to sort them out. I do need to re-program theses two side missions so they are registered to that new script.
Audiovisual and under the hood tweaks:

There are three of them:

  1. Alongside translating the readme file to Greek, Northbridge will now auto pick either the English or the Greek readme on launch (depends on your computer’s language).

  2. I reworked the Game Over screen.

    Here’s the tweaked version:

  3. I also reworked the shadows. These are much better:

    That is all for now. See you on the next post.

Jump List returns in the next update.

It's pretty early, but here's a look at a mob manager, handling the enemies in the game. The code streamlines the programming of the enemies. Hopefully, I can expand it to more useful ways.

It's a bit early, but I have something cooking. Keep an eye out.

Time for a bit of shenanigans: RPG Maker MV running on top of Tauri! This more future proofed framework means better performace and smaller file sizes. It does require some re-work in the engine, but it could lead to true cross-platform games.

Added a simple audio system to the launcher.

It's still pretty early work, but I am working on making the UI more dynamic and sleek. Including faces changing depending on their HP.

Added achievements. Because why not?

Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.

Waz zis? An overhauled map? Yes. Coming soon.

While I'm preparing August's Monthly Sync, I'm preparing a Trello board for the game. You can see what I'm working on here. https://trello.com/b/CjFyzH50/immortal-sins-game-development Pardon my dust, while I'm getting this up and running.
