25-03-2016, 01:08 CEST | Development Version - 0.0.160325

Screenshot of the Day

• Added Area of Effect fields (warning shows up first, then there’s an explosion and GameObject disappears)

• Yellow warnings
• Cube particles (they look better than let’s say pixelated explosion in here)
• Explosion circle attacks show up randomly near player forcing him to move around

• Added Light Attunement fields

• Fully animated according to original ones
• They give 30 seconds of given Attunement

• If player won’t be able to collect all three, they will eventually time out
• Getting all three light fields will grant you a 60 seconds of Prime Light Attunement

• Boss is vulnerable to Light Attunements and will receive damage ONLY when attuned to them

• Attempt to attack him without attuning will result in adding one stack of Light Feedback

• 10 stacks of Light Feedback cause knockback and 1 HP damage to player

• Every attunement grants +25% Attack effectiveness to player, full buff = 100% Damage dealt to boss

• Added Plasma AoE from Scarlet’s Prime and Ultraviolet Holograms

• Fully animated, kinda looks like purple/blue flames

• Health bar now works, changed it to look like regular bar

• Easier to implement difficulty mode such as maximum HP changer

• AoE spells now can damage player
• Game over when HP = 0
• Kinda “fixed” the bug where player bounced on top of AoE fields (he was literally jumping on them, annoying)
• Added invulnerability effect when damaged for a few seconds

• Prevents getting damage again at the same place
• Also player gets knocked down when damaged + can’t move for a second

• Added particle effects to player when casting spells
• Added Lava Font field

• Uses particles and slightly tinted warning sprite, but looks good

• Attunement fields and Bomb AoE start to appear right after cutscene ends

• It’s easy to get first Prime Light Attunement, since all three fields appear at the same time
• Another spawn of Light Fields is randomly timed
• All fields spawn randomly, but there is a chance to spawn them directly at player location

• Tweaked dodges and animations
• Tweaked movement animations (matched placing legs on ground with actual movement speed)
• Removed kebab and crafted my daily spiritwood plank

• Fixed music bug that caused to loop it and do weird stuff with my speakers
• Updated range indicator to be used by skill “1”

• Also added a text informing that you’re trying to cast a spell out of your range

• Friend of mine actually took a look at my game models and tweaked them so they have less tris

• Need to do that with player character.. God, he’s lagging.

Working at the moment at:

• Full Scarlet’s model. You can see her chestplate above.
• Music. I focus on it right now, already spent weeks on learning the program and how to use keyboard. (that dedication)
• I added FoV slider + AoE range indicator ingame
• Minor fixes here and there. Preparing to adding more skills and create more flexibility for players than just using 4 skills.
• Main menu added with selection of chapter. Still WIP, as it’s mainly placeholder graphics.

Notes:

I am not sure what to do with autoattack. Should i made it just go like a missile straight forward, or should i make it just hit the place where player pointed his mouse? I’m probably going for the first one.

About UI, i’m going to make exactly the one like SAB had, but i’m going to tweak it to fit my minigame..
