Let's start off by saying what is happening behind scenes. A couple weeks ago I mentioned work got busy. I said that to focus on the real problem at hand. There was something that happened to one of the devs that worked on the project that made work busy and my personal life busy.
One of our devs is 26 years old and sadly came close to complete heart failure. He was rushed to the Er with a blood pressure of 200 over 110 which is stroke and death levels. We were told he shouldn't be alone for a while till the doctors can get medicine and figure out what is causing it. Saying that he has been staying at my house for a few weeks. With some medicine he is now much more stable. We also brought his computers over and now have all cork computers in one house.
I will post some art today for inside the pub. The pub will be where you can sit down get some quests have drinks with NPCs you met, and a few other things. We want each NPC to have life so when an NPC moves into the town after joining your team you can have drinks with them, chat with them, and do quests for them. The chat will have some story elements for their background story. This can be a way to learn more about everyone. We want each NPC to have story and meaning in the game.
With the NPC we want them to have rewards for taking time chatting with them or doing quests for them. This can be nice items, new items in the shops to buy, or teaching you spells.
Anyway time to start getting back to work now since things are much better. Have a good day.
Alright guys time to take a second and talk about something. This is important so click read article to see the full story.
Next up
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.
Just a little teaser of wip art for the upcoming library area. Going to have a new background made so the contrast looks better, but for now I am enjoying it. Do note will be uploading a gif within next couple days so you can see the animated objects.
We talked about other areas in patch notes, but haven't shown some of the art. This is just a little thrown together demo of some of the clock tower art. We don't want to share the actually rooms or we might spoil somethings. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
Started on the interior for the tavern. The tavern will be where you get quests and can gather information from NPC you made friends of. The tavern NPCs are just stock placeholder art for now and will be replaced later with more custom art.
Got new builds being prepared now for the project. Since the last post a lot of big things have started to come into the project. Read the article for the rundown.
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
We wanted some of the walls in our game to be broken and crumbled. Not all of them being the same look so we also made tiles for broken walls where we can mix and match the tiles to make an unlimited amount of designs.
Alright guys time for some art updates. Here is a couple animations for our first couple NPC. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
The start of the character stat system is ready for the next build. Enemies should actually take a variety of damage starting next build. Nice little screen shot showing on the right side a nice little editor to see stat changing effects and the sources.
For today's new art we got ourselves the low level boss door. It will end up animated with green fire in the eyes.
