Today I'm just working on improving some dialogue UI – but it's part of a bigger project where we are expanding our dialogue system and exploring adding voice acting for ALL game dialogue, which is exciting! 😀

Ugh. This stuff sure doesn't look healthy...

Today I made some updates to the Quests panel – which is now called the Progress Log. As well as showing the Quests the player has, it now also shows the percentage completed for the current Zone.

Dawn of the Tyrant will be part of the Microsoft Indie Gaming Showcase held at the Sydney Pitt Street store. We'll be there on Saturday October 19th between 1-4pm, so if you're a Sydneysider, come by and give the Alpha a try!

I updated our old 2D helper NPC icons with new 3D ones. Much happier with these. More sparkles too! :D

New texture designs for the mysterious geodesic lines that appear on the ground in our first zone: The Thunderstone Geometries.

The Symmetron Pillar is now visible almost everywhere in the level – I wanted to add it in as a constant reminder of the bigger objective and context. Had to fiddle with some shaders and textures to get it appearing in spite of the global fog settings.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?
