Between the team member being sick and covid we as previously mentioned had to pause the project. In the past couple months we went from the groud up working on story, dialouge, boss fights ideas, level design and a lot more. I even been rewriting the code to improve the feel of the project.
While waiting for the other members of the project to be able to work on it again me and an artist decided to make a smaller project to give us something to do. A multiplayer coop project with inspiration from Super Meat Boy, Spelunky 2, and Bloody Trapland.
I will be making a game page on it in the coming weeks. We might not have the multiplayer in the first couple alphas, but we will start getting it ready for people to test out and enjoy. This project is a much smaller scale obliviously it ain't a full blown RPG project with dozens of characters. This makes it easier to do as a team of two. Me and the one artist. We just want to do this to keep the community alive and so forth. Also gives a chance to test out new tools coming from Unity Engine and other tools outside the engine. So in a couple weeks I will give a link to the project. The first couple devlogs might not have a playable build, but it will at least give some ideas for what we are doing.
Yo9u guys have a good day.
To the people still following this page got a slight update on it. Read the full article by expanding for the full story. Don't worry this is good news.
1Next up
Work in progress knight attack. We are aiming to get out first three monsters made so you got a variety of monster to fight in the demo.
Second update to the early WIP Menu UI. We might change the bottom right info box because the right side is starting to get a little cluttered. Hope you guys enjoy it so far. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
Mini Dev Blog 6 - Ambience VFX/SFX and Settings Menu Update. I started to add some VFX and some ambience SFX for parts of the game. The main thing left before finishing alpha one is the settings menu for controls, graphics, and audio.
Added a small box with the speakers name in it, so players can see who is speaking. Going to start showing off some smaller work in progress stuff starting now up to the first alpha. Each post will be focusing on one change for the first alpha.
Got volumetric lighting working with my custom shaders. Will need to tweak some settings and working on the castle environment lighting now. Pictures are with and without the lighting enabled for the player and throne.
Alright guys time for some art updates. Here is a couple animations for our first couple NPC. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
Here are some more NPC art. Next week we will have the character art for the town people started. One of these animations is just for small detail when entering the library randomly. Would be boring if every character only had one type of idle animation.
Wanted to share some of the rooms I am working on for the first Alpha and show I have the start of a cutscene tool I made for allowing customizable mini events and cutscenes to be quickly created. #immortal_chronicles #metroidvania #devlog #pixelart
Started making a mini diagram to show each region and the connections between them. This way people will have a semi direction hint before the map system update comes out. There are more regions not shown. Note this doesn't include the fast travel system.
Got some of our favorite grim reaper's animations in with the first set of conversations with him. Will be in the next game build. Video showing off his little idle animation.
