[h2]Hello fellow players.[/h2]
[h3]
I wanted to make you a nice late advent gift ahead of Christmas.[/h3]

[h2]ACT IV[/h2]


[h3]Find out about Mîm and his meddling with time and space, meeting old and new faces, in this newest entry of NO TIME, a lost in days studio experience. If you encounter bugs during the playthrough, feel free to report them :)[/h3]

[h3]

Return to your safe house where you left of with the epilogue quest part 2. There you will need to find a cartography tower in the ape head cluster![/h3]


[h2]MULTIPLAYER PASSENGER[/h2]

[h3]Want to travel alongside your friends? Enter their passenger seat and go!


Just make sure you trust them enough so they won't leave you without a time machine out there somewhere in the past.[/h3]

[h2]
NEW TIME TRAVEL WORMHOLE[/h2]

[h3]I wanted something to visualize travel through the fourth spacial dimension, I settled for some nice blending between destination and departure as well as space warping past you.
I may add some redshifting or blueshifting based on you going to the past or forward in some future update.[/h3]

[h2]CITIZEN GO CRAZY[/h2]

[h3]If you time travel, or shoot around, or bring big beasts like mammoths into the modern age, Citizen will react appropriately.
[/h3]


[h3]Now I wish you a good rest of the advent time, and a beautiful Christmas as well as a good start into the new year! I wish you a truly good, a quiet and reflective time as we celebrate and commemorate the light of the world becoming man to dwell among us.[/h3]

[h3]God bless[/h3]

[h2]This months regular update gives you some nice new features and mechanics to play with, whilst I am now working to complete Act 4.[/h2]

[h2]ACT 4 is in testing stages.[/h2]

I am in the midst of writing and coding the last quest and if I manage, I want to release ACT 4 for Christmas 2024.

[h2]Become a smithy apprentice![/h2]

The smithing mini job was removed completely and in its stead, new crafting mechanics have been added!
First you head to one of the smithies and convince the good craftsman to take you in as his apprentice. First you will learn how to smelt ingots and smelt sword blanks!

Then you craft a plan from that blank, heat up the blade and hit it with the hammer. ]
Later you can heat them up again and hammer them to repair their used state.

You can sell your creations for good money!

Weapon racks can be unlocked for the safe house!

Sharpen your weapons to increase their damage! Self made swords also give you bonus damage.

The smithies now are also physical stores, just like the 6/12.

[h2]Brewing Tables.[/h2]

Similar to smithing, you gain the ability to learn recipes from around the map.
Fort dun has secret passages with forgotten recipes that enhance your abilties.


Plants grow based on seasons, and only in specific spots though you can get them from the local herb store in Cape Dun for a price.
[h2]
Animal Beds![/h2]

Want your pets to stay at your safe house, but have to freedom to roam around?
Create an animal bed, which will not only fulfill that wish, but also keep the pets morale up.
[h2]
What are you lookin at?[/h2]
Npcs have now a more natural way of turning towards you.

[h3]I hope you like this nice little update to keep you entertained, whilst I finish act 4.
There will be a little epilogue quest next year that will bring you back to the facility, after act 4, This will be the planned closing note.[/h3]

[h2]Hello fellow players![/h2]

The fourth is slowly reaching its final stages with the last two quests now being in the works
I had a few stalls due to me having to work on bug fixes and patches but if all goes as intended things should be finished soon enough. As scripts and 3d levels for both of the last quests have been already done for the most parts.
I will soon be going into some closed beta tests where I will let some people test the story whilst I finish the end parts.

[h2]New weapons.[/h2]

All types of swords n other weapons can be either retrieved from bandits or smiths from around the island! Once you gain a formidable sword, you will also have to be strong enough to wield it! Your strength adds also positive boni to overall damage with swords.

[h2]Directional Combat[/h2]

As I was in need of a new combat system for act IV, I made it a bit more tactical
and interesting as well as a bit less button mashy. Your mouse movement decides your angle of attack or block. Hold and release to deal your blow! The direction of blocking is not so much important as the ability to have your sword covering you from the direction as the enemy attacks!


(this actually takes me back to my older project called Dark Sea, where I originally implemented this combat system in a more crude way)

It is also a fact that that Edward Athor originates from that game. In Dark Sea he was a cooky pirate inventor, who needed your help in creating a weather machine sound familiar? You can read some of that story in the Adventures Book Stands in No Time.

[h2]Weapons holstered.[/h2]

Weapons now show up on the character if in your inventory!

[h2]Armor and new Health UI[/h2]
Every costume now has a visible armor rating. Whilst there was a percentage based damage modifier before, this time around it is more thought out. (I've revamped the UI looks a bit to make it a bit more appealing to the eye)

The armor rating tells you how much damage it will be able to withstand as a whole, meaning with armor of 50, pruny weapons like clubs or swords will only deal 1-3 points of damage at best becausae they have a damage count below 50 (10 weapon damage - 50 armor is negative so give the player 1-3 points of damage). If a saber deals 60 points of damage, and your armor has a rating of 50, it will deal a base set of 1-3 points + 10 extra points and so on. (And yes you can block shots with your sword)

[h2] New Armor [/h2]

New types of armor and medieval clothing can be bought from the hunter, to make you merge in better with the old folk!
The pirate costume has been also revamped!

[h2]Mining![/h2]

Mining ore is now time tracked. Meaning it will not respawn unless you time travel to a date before you mined the ore dry! IYou have to equip a pickaxe and hit the ore to get something out of it, or use Edwards laser. I also revamped their looks to make them look a bit more interesting.

[h2]More retributionists[/h2]
Dark Mages are seeking retribution for your help in the Hillmen Quest!


[h2]There's much more in the changelog to be checked out so please do!
I am working hard on act 4 and along with it will likely come some revamps of the whole epilogue quest as well, to make it more streamlined to get quicker into the main quest of the fourth chapter.[/h2]
[h2]
Hope you find much fun with this update, and the next one will likely focus also on some things related with weapons and hunting as I am planning some revamps on that end as well![/h2]

[h2]God bless and enjoy![/h2]
