Come get some (previews)! Version D0.10 Preview 1 availiable now!


I am happy to annnounce the availiability of Version D0.10 Preview for Immortal Sins. In these preview versions, I will release a tested, but more unstable builds to be tested by you (if you want).

Today’s preview version, you’ll download the demo of the game, with a twist: some of the features, changes and bugfixes from both Version D0.10 and Disc 1 Update are availiable to you but in an experimental (and possibly buggy) stage. Simply download and install the preview build to join the fun (for now, the Starter Kit is updated to the preview version, I will roll it back once I split these up). It still has the demo contents however.

WARNING: While I have tested them, I cannot guarantee optimal operation. If you don’t want to risk it, DO NOT JOIN!

FAQ:

-Why are you uploading preview builds?

-> Because it helps me fix up any issues that I did not encounter in my side but somebody would encounter. Plus it would please any bug-hunter :-).

-How do I rollback to a stable version?

->You must uninstall the preview version and install the latest stable version from the download site. During the uninstallation, click yes on the message that follows and t will do the rest.

CAUTION: Re-install Roboto and Roboto Condensed after uninstallation if you or an application uses them, because the installer registers the fonts on the game’s files and they are removed when you uninstall the game. The text may appear broken if you do not.

-Where can I report bugs?

-> There’s built in bug report tool found on the launcher’s feedback tool. You can also comment on the game’s page (assuming you do have an account there).

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

Implementing Armor Corrosion. This put quite a dent in the target's armor for a short time.

Enjoy a nice dish, get a nice buff. What's not to like?

Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.

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.

Added achievements. Because why not?

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.

A small teaser for the next update.

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.
