Demo 0.1 is here!
Added 2019-07-31 01:01:55 +0000 UTCHello dear patrons!
Version 0.1 of Auto RPG Ex is finally ready. It's still a little rough around the edges as far as polish goes, but I still wanted to show some tangible progress this month.
How to access V0.1
Visit http://www.arxgame.com/ and register using the form.
There isn't any email validation yet, so it'll take you right into the game and (for demo purpose) give you every playable character at Rank 1.
Automatic Sync is off, so to save your progress, you'll have to click the option menu and then Sync. (Keep in mind that future pre-launch versions might erase your progress)
What is there to do in this version ?
Click the Units Tab and then click on a Character Portrait to open up Character Profiles.
You can click on the Character Sprite on the left side of the screen to listen to some of the voice lines as well as view the first reward illustration for (almost) each character.
Click the Plus icon to add characters to the battlefield. When a character joins, they'll automatically start attacking and using their special skills. (Note that the most powerful ones like Leila's Mountain Crusher can have a longer cooldown)
You can also boost your own attack power by going in the Skills Tab and clicking the first Level Up button. Skills such as Healing Light and Massive Blow aren't programmed in yet.
You can also open the Settings menu and then click on Credits to see your name as well as anyone else who helped on the game so far.
[Insert Character Name] has died, what do I do?
Since this is a demo and there isn't any automatic sync, you can just refresh the browser page and you'll be able to login again with your characters back at level 1.
You can also swap in other characters to see what they sound like what they do!
What's next?
If July was a month filled with illustration progress, August will be filled with Game Development and polish.
I'll try to get some of that tactile feedback included in the game. This includes particle effects on hit, improved UI, some meters to show skill cooldowns, etc.
Please be sure to let me know if you have any feedback towards the game, the illustrations, or Patreon rewards either in the comments or DMs.
Have fun!
