#horror #gamedev DevDiary: hand-to-hand combat.

In the harsh world of RoD gamer can left without any staff in case of death. It's unfair to leave the player without possibility to fight.

So, we're expanding the combat capabilities.

Feel like berserkers.

Happy to show the significant progress in development of "RoD" for the last monthes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgrW9fZIzeo&t=4s

Here we focused on improved visual&sound effects when causing and receiving damage, using weapons; improved enemy animations; UX/UI system core.

RoD. DevDiary. Combat mechanics:

- parry, causing stunning of the enemy;

- block with loss of stamina;

- fast hit with normal damage;

- heavy hit with increased damage and high consumption of stamina;

- one-handed ax that can be purchased in the village.

#horror #survival DevDiary: blunderbuss.

Europe of 16–17 centuries - a period of wars and revolutions with successes and failures in the development of hand-held firearms and the usage of the weapons from previous centuries, like the blunderbuss.

I’m a solo dev making a handcrafted dark fantasy world full of secrets and rich lore. No Lumen, no Nanite—just classic lighting so it runs on your toaster. Love The Witcher, The Last of Us, or Monkey Island? This is for you.

#survival DevDiary: inventory and character parameters.

We will be grateful for your comments after you visually check the usability of the proposed inventory and how clear it is.

#survival DevDiary: Damage system.

It's one of the main issues when working out the mechanics of melee weapons.

The trick of the method shown in the video lies in the almost complete correspondence of the movement of the weapon to inflicting damage.

In Lobo, cozy spots actually heal you. Bed heals 3x faster, chair 2x, campfire 1x. Sometimes survival isn’t about fighting; it’s about resting.

#UnrealEngine DevDiary: quest and dialogue systems. A small example of the fusion of the quest system and the dialogue system. Playback of soundtracks and specific animations is also provided, but you can't see it on the video. Just trust us :)
