Weekly Update!
I'm going to try to start doing weekly update posts here on Steam! I mainly post to my social media pages, but I should do better with posting to the Steam page itself. So each Friday I'll attempt to post a summary of what I worked on that week!
To start off this week, I worked on the Donkey Mount, which will be the starter mount for the game! Slow, no special abilities but absolutely adorable and reliable! (Also, while the run anim is still in the works, the the placeholder is hilarious.
Next up was working on city life! Specifically making cities feel more alive and full of character. For Elderglen, the first city most players will visit, I added a bunch of intro quests for the various crafting/skills that you can progress.
After that, I added a ton of AI-generated voice lines for the citizens as well as new animations and behaviors for them. I think it turned out pretty well!
I was also able to improve the taming skill by adding new creature types like Green Slimes and my new personal favorite - Bunnies!
Taming these animals allows you to use them as pets! Larger animals that you tame like Direwolves, Deer, Griffins, etc, will allow you to use them as Mounts!
And lastly this week, I added a new 2-handed weapon skill - Leaping Smash! This skill throws you into the air with your weapon above your head, allowing you to smash down on enemies, ragdolling them!
That's about all I have for this week - If you guys like these updates, I'll continue to do them here! Steam isn't the easiest place to post constant updates, but I'll do my best! (:
