Warlordocracy News

Finally started on the Ch.4 maps, added some more object sprites for desert towns. Should have the store page up this weekend, along with screenies.

Also fixed some bugs, including a rare crash. Party members were eating raw meat and getting sick when Party AI was set to complex. They should only eat raw meat when Party AI is set to Jordan Peterson.


Complete list of changes:

-Chapter 3 maps now use the climateJungle script (more rain).
-Started on Ch.4 maps, which use the climateDesert script (less rain).
-New objects for Ch.4: desertBuilding(x5), desertCanopy(x2), rockWall(x4), cactusGiant.
-Changed use type of raw meat/fish so party members don't eat it automatically with "Complex" Party AI.
-Fixed bug where weather was being set twice in a row (also crashing game on rare occasion).
-Fixed problem with some town objects not blocking visibility (and hence ranged attacks).
-Fixed bug with party member dialogue after you dismiss them from party.
-Fixed another rare bug where party members would disappear on travel.
-New sprite variations for cactus and cactusTall objects.
-Camera now centers on player when you load a game.

Done scripting lots of new baddies, items, Sonic Kitchen tracks, and civilian dialogue for Ch.4, and fixed some minor bugs. I am now officially ready to start working on Ch.4 maps.

In honor of RFK, Jr. getting a brain worm from hunting rats with his hawk near a garbage landfill, you can now get inventory pets in Warlordocracy such as a hawk, and use them to kill rodents for dinner.

Right now I just have a black cat and a hawk. You will eventually be able to upgrade your pet to make it an actual fighter.

Minor update that fixes a lot of little bugs. Finally started Ch.4 dialogue and updated the demo. Gonna take a couple weeks off from game dev and go on a spirit quest in the Mojave and try to fuck God. When I get back I'll be ready to start Ch.4. Here's a video of killing some snallygasters.

Got tons of new monsters implemented and tweaked in the last couple updates, but just gonna show off one in the video.

Going on a break for a couple weeks cause it's over 100 where I am and I don't want my laptop to melt.


Complete list of changes:

-New animals/monsters: dust raptor, bone raptor, mind consumer, jellyfish.
-Snallygasters now shoot fires (not explosions), sandstalkers now burrow in sand.
-Fire no longer affects flying creatures (explosions, etc. still do).
-All mobiles with no dialogue now have the exam use script.
-Updated Player's Manual with new monsters.
-Started Ch.4 intro script.

Replaced the Disarming ability with Animal Taming (much more unique). There's a trainer at the University in Ch.2, and a couple trainers in Ch.3. Also some new monsters, and a new Magnetism spell for Neuromancy (get/interact with metal objects from a distance). Lots of other little fixes.

Will upload a new map to Patreon called Turkey Magic soon, so you can fuck around with all the new high-level spells (not much of a challenge).
