PMPerfect:

Hello gamers!
For this update there are a lot of total overhauls starting from fog and lighting to one of the areas in the beginning of the game!

First one:
Updating the fog

old vs new one

Overhaul the lighting, the goal is to make it pleasant to look at and so the player doesn't have to squint his eyes to see the stuff on shadows, while still having an ability to have dark shadows and light them artificially when we need it.

After discussing with the team and having the ability to customize the lighting to our need with the result we are quite happy with, we decided why not give a go for a different lighting setups, like starting the game during the night and having previously established golden lighting for the time when you reach Gateston, that open whole bunch of interesting experiments and now we have this:

After that the previous quite blunt village was the in our focus, we wanted to add verticality to it and just make it cooler and more fun for a player to traverse, and here what we have so far:

That change also inspired us to add new mechanics with Bear working on combat in general and introduction of range weapons and in combination with narrow bridges of the new village, what if being hit by a range weapon will knock you back.. It might be fun, it is still in the making but it is so much more to our liking,

That’s all from me for this update, wish you all a lovely weekend, and cya on the next one!

Jugger:

 Jugger has been working out how the gobbo girls would look like in game, the skulls are part of a goblin headdress

PacKing:

Some new Alda’s weapons:

Bear:

The spear is spawned at a pre-defined position in the animation and given a velocity in the direction of Alda. If the spear hits a surface that is either one of Alda’s hitboxes or a static object like the floor, the spear is attached to the surface it hit.

Together the three enemies I have coded so far are really beginning to form an interesting combat system! The hyper-aggressive warrior, the cannon-fodder default goblin and the ranged scout all meaningfully fill different roles in encounters!

Thank you for attending the vigil, it would not be the same without thy presence.
