RINSED - Devlog #10


Hello there!

As mentioned in the previous devlog, we have been busy polishing existing gameplay elements and adding new ones to create a much more smoother and easier to understand gameplay experience!

Besides completly overworking the character controller, which is a big step forward to a much more smoother gameplay with less situations of the player beign stuck and struggeling to move certain paths, Finn added a message log system! We use this system to display important information directly to the player and give little hints as seen on the picture below on which i tryed to open a hatch by spamming my mouse button without having the right key.

Besides many more little improvements based on our playtesters feedback, we started thinking about adding mounts! Mounts will be a late game feature and will allow you to travel the lands much easier and even carry around more items!

We are not sure if mounts will make it into the open beta of the game, but we will try our best!

Map wise, I worked on a lot of areas! The big town in the north of the map is finally getting completed this weekend. In this kind of hard to reach town you will find a lot of stores and interesting scenery.

I also reworked the swamplands, changed the overall colors and added a feature which allows our fog to get denser as soon as you enter the swamplands.

Thats it for this weeks devlog!

We will have another playtesting session with a few friends next week to ensure that our game is as enjoyable as possible! After that, we will begin to add a few more features, areas and do more adjustments. As already mentioned we hope to lunch a open beta in about 2 months :)

Thanks for reading and following along!

Finally happy with the "indoors" part of the game! Adding a small, closed off area to the open world of the forest was challeging but worth it. Lots of enviromental story telling in this one! :)

Farmers crazy enough to grow food in the harsh conditions of the northern isles often need to use a few tricks to protect their plants! This seaside farmer has stacked lots of rocks high enough to protect his crops from the cold wind.

You are not the first but you might be the last

Working on a new ship and looking for a name! The best suggestion will make it into the game :)

Post your suggestions on here or over at our discord. A winner will be picked within the next few days!

(The name should fit into the game's world)

Something lurks in the depths of the glow-stone mine... You better pack some torches because you will need one for sure!

Im really not good at cutting trailers, so instead here you have the games intro sequence! Its nothing spectacular but sets the mood for what is about to come. Internal game testing will start soon, a early access version will follow!

Painted some new headers for our crafting system! Survival, Cooking, Crafting... Can you guess what image is for what category? :D

Its almost been a year since I developed "9:16" and im still proud of what I achieved! I tried to push the visuals to be as photorealistic as possible and keep the gameplay as immersive as I could. Give it a try and tell me what you think :)

Exploring uncharted Islands always comes with a risk! What creatures lurk in the dark forests? What treasures await you in the distant ruins?

Make sure to pack some soup because travelling between islands will soon come to RINSED!

Made new Flowerpots with different variants for further decorating cities and villages! :)
