Development update #3

Hi,

Alex '13' here. From now on I'm going to post here each 2 weeks.

Our development is divided into milestones - usually 3 months long, and sprints - always 2 weeks long. Since my last post here, we've completed the first sprint of our new Milestone - Town. As usual for our team, the first sprint of a new MS is focused on processing the feedback gathered from the playtests (currently internal, but public ones are coming). fixing non-critical bugs and overall not allowing the technical debt to snowball. Which helps in keeping the team and the development cycle healthy.

We plan the following:

• Town building
  
• Crafting
  
• Stores and trading
  
• 3 new maps
  
• 20+ new spells
  
• 4 new classes
  
• Some QoL
  
• Balance overhaul
  
• A simple in-game video tutorial
  

In no particular order :)

• Update the Chest level
  
• Rework the Campfire level
  
• Make lighting on Town Streets level less dark
  
• Contraband Cove light improvements
  
• Great Wall wall light improvements
  
• 2 new spells (mechanics and addition to the store)
  
• Fix: Pause the music in the shop - it overlaps with the main-level music
  
• Mob mutator chance - depending on mob level, not static
  
• Char creation: master attributes tooltips on stats during Class and Race selection
  
• Added DPS to weapon info
  
• Increase Formation Swiftness MS bonus from 15% to 25%
  
• Fix: Fire/Poison Weapon doesn't work on ranged attacks
  
• On-screen info when crosshairing a mob - a chance to hit
  
• Melee attack trace range bonus for mobs (100u default)
  
• Luck stat implementation - crit, true hit, resources, and loot bonus
  
• Slow effect slows recovery
  
• Campfire on maps - random spawn, similar to chest. EXCEPT on the Campfire level
  
• Put music to all levels
  
• Soul Mend - updated the spell description to make it clear that it restores Energy as well
  
• Increase block effectiveness (DR)
  
• Soul mend - increase cooldown significantly
  
• Ranger's self-heal amount and CD increased
  
• Cleave - increased attack bonus
  
• All healing spells - increased CD
  
• Give a Rat caster the Fire Arrow spell for lower levels
  
• 3 more Adventure layouts
  
• Art for 3 Town buildings
  
• 3 spell VFX
  

I was a guest on the WizardWorm's channel. A great guy with a cozy and interesting channel!
The video is just me talking about the game. It's in English.

It's new, so it's rough around the edges. We're working on improving the experience.

I will include the usual dev stuff like wip things, test levels, just jokes alongside the proper screenshots. I think it's interesting.
