News Post March

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to go over the news post for March and the plan for the next update.

To recap from the monthly post. We were able to get the crafting system done, a new town location (the barracks) and one new monster, the rat bandit, into the game.

However, I was busy with a game jam. I wasn't able to get some of the artwork I wanted to add done in time, instead of delaying 0.0.24, we decided to instead release a test build of 0.0.24 now and update it with an art update for this month! Gummi will be helping out too adding in new art items for the game. We are now aiming for the end of the month.

Speaking of Gummi, I also announced that she will become our community manager for the discord. We will make a bigger post about that as we both want to start improving the discord and making it a bigger community.

Okay recap over. Now to the new stuff.

New teammates!

Yes! We got some new help for the company. We have two new people joining us. We got two artists to add to the art team. One is 2d character artist and the other a 3d artist. I'll be making a new post introducing them this next week. They both will be a great help and I can't wait to share some of their stuff. They both worked on the game jam game with us.

Speaking of, if you want to try that game out. Head on over to play it! It has awesome work from the team. Keep in mind we only made this game in a month, and so there will be bugs.

Game plan

Okay, here's the plan for the next update. We plan on working on the combat. This will be the last time we add on to combat.

There are still a few bugs we want to fix as well. So here's the current version of the plan list for 0.0.25.

Element tags for enemies

Weather debuffs and buffs

New debuffs

New Ai system for enemies

New animation and AI system for bosses (hopefully make them where they change move sets at a set health and change their art based off health.)

New avina animation for missing actions

New armor set

New town map system

That's it for the plan list. We are looking towards August month as a release date for 0.0.25.

Lastly, don't forget we have a poll open for helping us choose the next npc race.
