Patreon Update Post 7/17/2024

Hello everyone, thank you so much for your support on ATLYSS, and sticking around to help me out on the game's development. I do apologize of the lack of Patreon posts, as many of the updates / information is being distributed on the Discord Server.

As you may or may not been aware, I have gutted the community aspect of the Official Discord Server for the sake of my own well being / focus on the game development rather than trying to moderate / control a community. There are nu-official community servers you can join that are advertised on the official one if you wish to communicate with others surrounding the game. (I am not in these servers, so anything that goes on in them are not under my control).

A new public demo for ATLYSS will be released on itch.io on 8/1/2024. The time of when it releases is undetermined, but most likely during the late afternoon in Pacific Standard Time (PST).

The game will be facing a new milestone / evolution in it's core game loop, which is the completely re-done, re-vitalized Sanctum Catacombs. It is now considered as a dungeon, and better yet, I have implemented a pattern system within it, allowing for potential different experiences each time you enter the dungeon.

Quests have been getting reworked as well, including item quest rewards. (Item rewards shown in this gif are just examples, not final).

Enemy AI / Aggro system has been completely redone. Enemies work together a lot more often, and they can also get distracted by projectiles as well.

There's a whole lot more, and for supporters, netplay QOL and improvements are occuring down the line. I'm excited for when the dungeon pattern systems are finalized for netplay / netsync. After doing some closed tests with friends with the dungeon, I'm going to safely state that it's been a blast and there's a lot of good potential.

Again, thank you for your support. If you'd like to keep up to date with my work a lot more rapidly, please join the Discord Server. The server is mainly a "news bulletin board" for progress updates, no discussions. Patreon members can discuss things in patron only channels.
