ZpellCatz News

Hey there. Today I want to announce ZpellCatz: Pumpkin Prologue.

It's a free singleplayer campaign with a story set preceding the events of the main game.

You are a young Shaman Cat on its travels that arrives in a mysterious village. It's autumn. Pumpkins are ready for harvest - and so are the souls of the villagers! This is the prologue of ZpellCatz, a magical Action RPG set in a colorful fantasy world.

ZpellCatz: Pumpkin Prologue will be released on October 14, 2021.
It's available for Windows and Linux.

You can download it for free on the store page (click).

Hey there, fellow catz! The end of May is soon, so lets recap the development progress of April and May 2021.
:-)

[h3]Items[/h3]
- Played around with item stats, drop chances for epic items, etc
- Added new epic items
- Wrote an article about the itemization in ZpellCatz ( https://www.indiedb.com/games/zpellcatz/features/zpellcatz-itemization )

[h3]Visuals, Special Effects[/h3]
- Added teleport effect for cat heroes and enemies
- Greatly improved "Frailty" spell effect


- Added a longer death effect animation for cat heroes and bosses (normal enemies die a lot quicker)


[h3]Input System (work in progress)[/h3]
- Upgraded the underlying input system to the "new" Unity Input
- Added gamepad control for ingame and menu
- Added joystick control for ingame and menu
- Added an options menu screen
- Started implementing an input rebind system (WIP)

I'll write an article with more info about the input system in ZpellCatz soon. ^^

That's it for today. My plan is to write a DevRecap every 2 or 3 months from now on. If you want to receive development update more regularly, feel free to join our discord.
Have a wonderful weekend!
