Handy Interface Improvements Done!... Unless?



Hey Guild Leaders!

About a week and a half ago, I set out to add 2 interface features to Netherguild;

A "confirmation window", with warnings against firing characters / attacking allies, as well as being able to see your character's "true stats" in the guild (with skills + equipment) rather than beginner stats.

(This was mentioned last update:)

Were they added?... (yes!)

Confirmation Window

Whenever I'd watch streamers play Netherguild, they'd often end up learning that friendly fire exists the hard way, which sometimes would lead to dead characters too. 💀
Most streamers would laugh about it, but it was a genuine cause of frustration to some - well, not anymore!



Another issue players faced was accidentally firing characters - I received these comments through the in-game feedback feature:

"please add a confirmation pop-in to firing characters
the fire character button is too close to inspect character and could be clicked by mistake"

"I just accidentally fired my best warrior with an accidental click. Can you make that a confirmation screen? It made me sad. :("


Not anymore!
(Also I'm sorry :
Previewing Stats in Guild

I thought it'd be tough to add! but luckily it ended up being surprisingly easy.



And thus, both features were added...



I even added this little map - which should come in handy if you ever wish to take a closer look at the minimap to see which rooms you might have missed or where to head next. All of this is already in-game!

So... What's next?


There's a bit more I'd like to add and fix - so I'd like to spend another half a week to a week wrapping up this update.


Afterwards, I plan to work on these updates:

Mist City Enrichment
-About three weeks
New enemies! New equipment! more drops from existing enemies.
Improved and/or added oddities.

New Goals and Quests
-A week to two weeks
New quests for the new areas as well as improved rewards for various factions.


I have more planned too, but will keep it a secret for now (:
Thank you for reading!

Early Access Update 7/5/2023 - 0.202(E) - True Stats in Guild and More

Change log 7/5/2023 | Version 0.202(E)

UI Improvements:
  • Can examine character stats in-guild
    (Should work with both modified stats & HP from both equipment and skill ups)
  • Improved left side visuals of guild slightly


Bugfixes:
  • Fixed choosing stat-ups in the overworld doesn't modify character stats
    (This doesn't work retroactively so I apologize if you lost character stat-ups due to this bug :




Dev note: Since the main two additions I wanted to focus on for this update are done now ("Are you sure?" panel and "true stats in guild"), that means I can work on a few more interface improvements and bugfixes until I'm done with the update... muhahahaha >:D
