Current release build: Private test 0.0.2 UI update

Version 0.0.2 overview article

This build is just to start getting the new logic of the UI code in game that was done after the development restart.
Note not all the original art is in yet.


Movement:

  • Fixed a couple bugs for crouching and then switching straight to jump. Note this was technically not a bug, but more of we just didn't yet implement the animation transition from crouch to jump in the 0.0.1 release.

  • Increased height for the grounded jump.

  • Increased the reference walk/run speed a very small amount.

  • Made the player start off in sprint mode instead of walk mode for people as a QOL thing.

Combat:

  • Implemented the basic enemy spawner.

  • Improved the testing hit boxes of the player demo dagger attack. True Combat development is being saved for the 0.0.4 release. We only added this to start testing taking damage for HP bar visual changes.

  • Added the ability to have knockback force when hitting enemies and when the player gets hit. We will be adjusting this quite a bit during development.

UI:

  • Added a small HP and magic resource bar for the player hud.

Player HP is already connected to the UI, but not the magic bar yet. This is just to let people see HP and start seeing damage is working from enemy contact and attacks. Two things were started but not finished for this build for UI. Only included because I wanted to just let people have a new build for player hud.

  • Ignore the options menu buttons. It does open up a UI canvas with a volume bar, but it isn't ready yet. Next build will have the working options menu.

  • Started the info box on the right side of the first in game menu screen. This one will take a while for full functionality.

Have to connect exp, level, stats, info section boxes with the correct in game info and a bit more. I will set this one up a bit at a time over the private testing period, but I will go ahead and implement the art first at least so it won't look off when opening the in-game menu.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
