2022 Update


So it has been quite some time since my last update on here. Almost half a year!

So what is new?

Sadly, not much progress has been made on Another Realm over the last few months. Life commitments and outside work caused significant delays and generally, I just lacked any time to realistically work on the game and move it forward in any meaningful manner.

That being said, work has once again begun with a new lease of life, and without any outside commitments once more.

So, what is currently being worked on?

I am currently working on changing core aspects of the game. As a player, you're unlikely to notice too many of these changes, but for future content, these changes are necessary so that it will play as intended.

A few of the more recent changes are included below:

Changed how all chest/found items are recieved. Previously, they would display as messages the player had to confirm. They now pop up at the top of the screen without needing any confirmation. Additional pop-ups have been added for when money is spent at inns.

Achievements have also been added. There are a couple of hidden ones as well. Achievement may offer additional rewards as well!

Pre-existing areas have also had some amendments, with some being expanded on slightly. Story elements have had some minor changes to better improve the flow.

----------

Sadly, I don't have much more information to give at this stage. Once the above core aspects are changed and tested, story progress will start to carry on again.

This video demonstrates the snowboarding chase section some more with the mechanics of it. You can avoid the snow chaser entirely, reaching the bottom of the slopes for the main battle. Or, defeat it multiple times on the way down for an easier battle.

Currently rewriting the Arena location and how it works, avoiding plugin use.

Once a troop is selected, you can pick an amount between 1-3 to fight. Unique creatures will always be 1. Categories will be locked until you reach the applicable game stage.

Adjust your journey into Timeland and make things a little easier or perhaps, a little harder for yourself with the 1.0.1 update for Another Realm.

Additionally, some minor fixes were also included and a Story Mode adjustment at the Scorched Tower.

The plugin has been updated to allow for custom images to be used instead of pre-generated tiles, auto scaling to the tile size set. (example in image)

Additionally, you can also now use a custom image for the player character as well as the enemies.

Revisited the Old Ruins spot from the beginning of the game. I wanted a way to effectively show you're entering the interior of somewhere, whilst also blocking it all off from the outside. A little refinement possibly needed, but I feel this works well.

Another revisit of one of the more original sections, this one being the underground passage to the Monument of Govel. For some reason the video amplifies the smoke effect, it is less obstructive in reality.

Project(s) & Health Update

I'm alive! I have been resting a lot after the brutal game jam crunch... We didn't make the deadline, but the team is very invested and determined, so we'll finish the demo-

An update to the quest system has been made. You can now track quest objectives via the map by selecting them within the quest menu section. Further details can be seen via the patch notes on the main menu.
