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.

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

WIP for some decor art in the upcoming castle area for the project I am working on. We are adding some white marble backgrounds for the area for a better contrast. We will have the clock, globe, and chandelier animated. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565

Ocean Generator - Unity 6 Render Graph API, Compute Shaders, and Job System.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Here is a small video to just show the work in progress save and load system being put in the next build.

Finally got the UI started in the game. Always felt it was the main thing missing in my project, but now it is finally starting to get done. With the UI started the game will feel like a real game now. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
