[News] Plans for September
Added 2024-09-02 16:35:22 +0000 UTCI just wanted to give you a quick update on our plans for this month. We're excited to bring you fresh content, including a new goblin enemy and a brand-new dungeon to explore.
We're aiming to release a demo on Steam by October. I still have a meeting scheduled with the level designers to decide whether we should do another round of polishing on the Fallen Temple, Garden of Delights, and Garden of Blood in Unreal 5, or if we should focus on reintroducing the prologue content.
Regardless of the outcome, the first step in landscape production—finishing it up in World Machine—will be completed within the next two or three days. By the end of this week, or early next, we’ll have some exciting screenshots to show you how the vegetation and terrain will come together in Unreal 5.
Another thing we’ve planned, specifically for the Fallen Temple, is to add cutscenes for when Kalyskah meets Brooke and Alvina, along with new dialogue lines for when she encounters Brooke's students there. We also plan to introduce the new intro scene between Kalyskah and James from the legacy demo, this time using the animations we captured with Mocap.
So, in summary, this month marks the first phase of integrating into the engine the work we've been doing outside of it over the past months.
Have a great day!

Thank you for the feedback! I sent it forward to the programmers so they can take a look after I finish with some revisions on another area this week =D

The "Action Display" (I assume this is what you call "Per(s)pective Switch") had only few relation to the real action. ("Per(s)pective Switch" I still do not know how to activate it. My setting in "Options - Controls" does not change anything) E.g. I Equip Weapon space Jump A Sprint D Stealth Y Blood Buff/Heal V Vampire Vision T Lock Target 4 Telekinesis V Inventory J Journal or once even none Equip Weapon none Jump none Sprint none Stealth none Blood Buff/Heal none Vampire Vision none Lock Target none Telekinesis none Inventory J Journal But anyway the real action was not what I defined in "Options - Controls". After some tries I decided to generate a new setup by deleting "Settings_i_Kalyskah_GameSettings.sav" and "EnhancedInputUserSettings.sav". After this I could play as usual. Anyway it is very dangerous to change something in "Options - Controls" and to save this. Evidently "Darkness Shot" has changed. Now aiming seems to be "unprecise" (or is this because I can not adjust because of "Afterglow" ?). It is neccessary to wait until the "Afterglow" has gone. This can last up to 15sec. In a "real combat" with correct acting NPC's this will be a great disadvantage for Kalyskah. Quite often I reached a state where Kalyskah could not turn freely. She just had a moving range of about 180°. I managed it to leave this state after some time. But I do not know how I managed it. The NPC's are acting weird. Once they are hit, few of them freeze, but the most return to their "normal duty" (while ignoring Kalyskah). The only exception is the troll. He continues striking until death. If Kalyskah enters a room with two or three opponents, mostly only one of them pays attention to Kalyskah. So Kalyskah can "easily work" one after the other. If Kalyskah reenters the room at later time the story repeats. Where was Merishya when fighting with Gremmnoch ? Before entering the "Garden of Delights": Kalyskah "immobilizes" her opponents. Suddenly Merishya appears (where she was before ?) and attacks the other NPC's. If I give Merishya enough time, she will kill them after a lomg time. At least she did not kill Kalyskah. Strange: While in "Garden of Delights" Merishya suddenly changed to "Attack Mode". She attacked Kalyskah (not deadly) and then she turned to the wall and kept attacking this until Kalyskah contacted some person. Strange: I started with "NEW". Until reaching "The sacrifial Chamber" Kalyskah had no Skill Points (i.e. she could not use "Darkness Shot"). I noted Merishya now uses two types of attack. Most often she uses "manual". This has no effect. Sometime she uses "Fireball". Is this correct ?
