Version 0.5 Development

Version 0.5 of Realm of Rulers is coming together nicely as most of the content phase has been completed. Testing of the new implemented content has begun and we also are testing the previous content for issues as we migrated over to the newer engine version.

Optimization Progress

We decided that doing periodic optimization to the game for each version will make the game more enjoyable. So for this update we have really tried to improve the frame rates for all players and we have achieved really good results!

Most players might not get as drastic results as this but we tested this on medium settings using version 0.4 and the 0.5 dev build.

Here are the results:

Version 0.4

Version 0.5 dev

Dropping Items

Dropping items is working as we want now and the only change this feature needs it the full configuration for some of the older item classes in the game.

This will be very easy to change and will not take much development time. This feature is almost complete!

Outlaw raids

The outlaw raids are coming along nicely. The outlaws spawn and find their targets correctly. They will also attack the player if they see them.

The system alerts the player and scales the outlaw numbers correctly based on citizen population.

This system will be tested and adjusted throughout the next few updates so improve the defending mechanics.

Guards

The interface and buildable barracks have been completed and work on the guard AI is going smoothly with the guards vision working correctly.

The next step is making the guards damage the outlaws and calling the death function correctly. This wont take long to finish and the graphical side of the guards has been complete.

Thanks for reading our devlog!

We apologize for the long wait for this update but we are working our hardest!
