The fourth game mechanic test build has the start of basic combat. Important thing to remember we will be tweaking hitboxes, animations, and polishing it as we get closer to the first Alpha one release.
I know the dagger from the player's hit box needs an adjustment and currently testing it out while adding some blood particles to the zombie attack to make it easier to visualize the hitbox for it.
The build also has tests for a placeholder sound effect when hitting the zombie and a placeholder damage visualization effect that makes the zombie blink a bit. Will add some visual and audio feedback to the player before next test build.
Thank you to everyone trying it out.

Immortal Chronicles - Game Mechanic Test Build 4
Basic enemy combat testing and respawning testing.
Read full article for more details.
Next up
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
