Immortal Chronicles - Pre Alpha Testing Build 0.0.9

Important release notes and progress report for future builds.


Starting from here builds will start adding content to the game and actually have a story flow to it. This build is the last one before creating the prototype starting cutscene. Meaning I am finally ready to start releasing the story content and dialogue with NPCs.

Next non-bugfix build will have at least the first main NPC the player interacts with. For the next couple of non-bugfix builds I will add a new NPC each build. Got three main NPCs I want in the next couple of weeks to be included in the builds.

Making a roadmap and pinning it to the game dev page for people to see what I am working on.

Build Release Notes:

New Additions:
- Added a temporary small set of dialogue when starting the game to go over controls. This will be removed when the main menu is set up with a menu option to see all in game controls.

- Added a custom hit box system for each animation frame allowing weapons and enemies attacks to match their visuals. Attacks will be tweaked as new game builds are done.

Changes:

- Changed how rooms are loaded.

  • This change mostly is for me to see as the change makes creating new rooms and enemies' spawns easier.

  • Added this note just in case anything room related breaks for players.

Bug Fixes
- Changed how physics are calculated and how collision interactions happen with any character and platforms.

  • This improves slopes collisions.

  • Prevents the characters from gaining too much velocity and clipping.

  • Allows some enemies to deal contact damage without pushing the player into walls or platforms.

- Updated the camera confiner for the rooms. The version we were using had a bug in it breaking cameras after dying and respawning sometimes. This was a game engine bug.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
