Devlog: Roadmap for demo releases

Added 2020-02-10 16:31:07 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you some insight on how demo releases will work moving forward. I intended on releasing a new demo version near the end of every month. I can't guarantee this schedule will be set in stone, as sometimes development may have me releasing a version later or sooner than usual, depending on what I'm working with. It's a little bit more frequent than most other Patreon gamedev creators, which will hopefully allow me to gather more feedback.

That being said, I'm excited to say the next Patron demo will be coming out towards the end of February, and the public demo (the previous patron demo) will be released around the same time.

For the next version of the patron demo, I have added dynamic lighting and some other significant visual enhancements. I also made some changes to the movement so traversal seems more natural for NPCs, as well as some fixes to hitbox interaction. Of course, some of these changes don't come without a cost, and personally I've noticed a slight FPS dip, although those on older computers may notice a more significant drop. I will eventually make a toggable option for visual settings.

What's on the docket for the next demo version:

Guild house management elements
Blood Pits (combat arenas)
An introductory quest that brings the player into contact with all major factions
