Immortal Chronicles - Alpha
6 years ago

Before the Alpha 4 update that has smithing, alchemy, and more rooms come out I made a stop gap update with some improvements and small new feature. Read the article on this post for full information. The update is alpha 3.3.


Getting straight into it

Changes
- Made variable jump height. Basically the longer you hold the jump button you higher you jump. This allows short hop jumps which will have some platforming areas about to come out.

- UI oh boy was this changed. The UI was updated graphically was just to make it look a little nicer. Some menus were rework to make them look better and require less clicking on options.
- Status screen on main menu area.

- Improved the combat knock back a bit and damage hit box timers. This will be improved even more.

New features

-Monsters drop items now yeah.

Granted we only have the skeleton warrior at the moment, but the alpha 4 update fixes that.

Fixes

  1. I fixed some issues with some rooms not transiting smoothly from one room to another room.

  2. Fixed some collider issues to caused some weird issues when being under a one way platform that is by a wall.

  3. Fixed the player not leaving running animation when falling off the side of a platform.

Next up

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.

Working on some level design prototyping for some of the underground areas. Wanted to just share some things I am testing. Mainly having waterfalls as a background element for the caverns.

Alright after a crap ton of time we found a UI artist that can do pretty good. This is early Work in progress. We will release the next update when we get two menus screens done instead of waiting for all the UI to be completed. Look forward to it.

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.

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

We got our new throne for the save rooms in the works. Hope you guys enjoy sitting on your new demonic throne every time you need to save. We are making animations for the character sitting on the throne soon. Hope you guys enjoy the upcoming update.

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.

Alright guys time for some art updates. Here is a couple animations for our first couple NPC. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565

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.

While working on the first full Alpha build, I decided to start adding a little bit of NPC dialogue and other stuff to start making the game feel somewhat alive during the early alpha stages.
