RINSED - Devlog #8


Hello there!

We hope you are all well and healthy!

Yesterday we started our second playtest phase. We gave a copy of the game to a few close friends of ours and now we wait for their feedback.

Even though feedback from playtesters is important for every aspect of game development, we are currently depending on it for a few specific tasks!

As already mentioned in the last post, clothes now have stats. This means your character will get wet, cold and exhausted based on what kind of outfit you are wearing! For instance, a heavy backpack will make your stamina deplead faster, wearing light shoes will make your movement slightly faster and wearing a warm hat will help you against the harsh weather. Things like this need a lot of balancing and thats why we need a lot of feedback from our playtester!

In Addition to stats for clothes, a lot of new clothes and other items made their way into the game! We added a third backpack which is a medium sized knapsack. The game now features a small bag, the knapsack and the large travel backpack. Also fancy new clothes like a kimono, a fishermans shirt and a piece of armor where added. Berry juice, a slightly alcoholic beverage, is now beign sold at a few taverns as well!

Last but not least, we added a lot of npcs into the world! Most of them resemble friends of ours but as promised we also added one or two of our followers here on gamejolt! ;)

As soon as we got feedback from our playtesters, the next development phase will begin and we will get one step closer to an open alpha.

We hope this weeks devlog was a good read and that you all stay healthy!

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!

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! :)

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

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 ;)

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!

Those zip-lines were once used to transport goods from the mountains into the villages below but now they make a great (and fun) shortcut for all adventurers!

Just uploaded a little prototype I made within just a few days for fun! Maybe someone will have some fun with it :)

You can built a little big ship and navigate through astroids. Thats it!

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!

If you ever wanted to get a better/closer look at your nemesis, this is her! During development I nicknamed her "Emma"

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! :)
