RINSED - Devlog #7 - Design your own NPC!


Hello there!

Its been a while since the last full lengh devlog! Next weekend we are planning the second closed pre alpha test phase with our friends so currently we are working on a lot of stuff simultaneously. So lets get started with this weeks devlog!

First of all something fun for you all!

Im working heavily on finishing up the map and currently a lot of work is going into the "big" city in the northern part of the map. Due to that a lot of npcs where added and a lot of npcs need a lot of names...

So here is somewhat of a little Contest! If you want to get immortalized as a npc in the game, write the following under this post:

  • Your cool phantasy name (or your real name) (has to be fitting in the game so nothing like Dragonslayer420 please)

  • Your Hair color (you can choose between black, blonde and red)

  • Your Skin color (dark, medium, light)

We will pick a winner within the next week! :D

Now for some actual development:

Finn started to overwork our whole save system. We are switching over to json files which will make saving and loading progress and having multiple characters much more easy.

In Addition to that, stats for clothing will finally make its way into the game! From there on clothes will not only look fancy, they will also impact how fast your character will get cold and wet.

As already mentioned, I currently overwork large areas of the map such as the swamplands and the highland forest. Furthermore I overworked the whole character creation screen!

(Please note that the ui is still somewhat of a placeholder)

Finn also added a brand new menu screen which will host creating and loading characters and more. The menu is still in an very early state but we wanted to share it with you nonetheless!

Everytime you start the game, a random scenery will we picked to great you so no menu will exactly look the same.

Even though we could share more and more little improvements and details with you, this is it for this weeks devlog.

We hope you are all well and stay healthy.

See you in the next devlog and thanks for reading!

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.

As the glow stone cave was flooded and then isolated from the outside world for a few hundred years, it developed its own unique and oddly strange flora and fauna!

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!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly announce that 9:16 is now free for everyone to download! It's been a while since I worked on this project and I decided that I want everyone to experience this unique project instead of hiding it behind a paywall!

A little sneak peek on the first Island you will be able to travel to by ship! This island features lush green vegetation, lots of flowers, new wildlife, and of course rare items and a few riddles ;)

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

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! :)

Just a little clip of me building a frighter ship! MONONAUTS is a little demo experiment which I made within a few days. Try it out and tell me what you think! :)

In 2019, 6 young adults disappeared in and around Blackwood County, Virginia, USA. 

Now it is all up to you.

I'm more than excited to launch this games EARLY ACCESS! Its really been a passion project for me and I cant wait for your feedback! :)

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!
