Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel News

[p]As more of the voicework is being finished I am able to add more. While doing so I try to update the voicework tech and reduce bugs![/p][p][/p][p]Additions[/p]

• [p]Added more voice acting for several NPCs.[/p]

[p]Improvements[/p]

• [p]Added technology to play voice acting during in-game quips.[/p]

[p]Bugfixes[/p]

• [p]Made sure quips are not fired for all (up to 4) players at the same time.[/p]
• [p]Rerouted player voice lines to PlayerSet audio for consistent, clear pitch.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Kind regards,[/p][p]Raymond[/p]

[h3][/h3][p]Hi everyone,[/p][p]Another set of small improvements and bugfixes to make the demo for nextfest as fun as and easy to use as possible.[/p][p]Improvements[/p]

• [p]Added more voice acting.[/p]
• [p]Added area of effect damage spells for bosses and other instances.[/p]
• [p]Extended functionality of enemy bullet damage to allow for more varied effects and usages.[/p]

[p]Bugfixes[/p]

• [p]Ghost soldiers (used in one of the Soldier skill cards) could still be hit by sources emanating from the player. They are now immune to these sources as intended.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where melee, stagger, and bullet damage were triggered in multiple places in the code, sometimes causing enemies to double-trigger animations. Damage handling has now been streamlined and centralized.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where conversation audio could play multiple clips when clicking through conversations quickly.[/p]

[p]Kind regards,[/p][p]Raymond[/p]

[h3]Another day another set of small fixes![/h3][p]Additions[/p]

• [p]Added voice acting for Anpu character.[/p]
• [p]Used writing tech in intros for a more cinematic feel.[/p]

[p]Bugfixes[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where conversation audio was also being muted during menu and conversation moments, causing voice acting and menu clicks to not be loud enough.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thanks so much for the feedback all![/p][p]Raymond[/p]

[p]Some small improvements today![/p][p]Improvements[/p]

• [p]Tutorials now use a cueing system so they do not overlap.[/p]
• [p]Added a small note that tells the player when they’ve reached the (demo) level cap.[/p]
• [p]Fixed some dust shaders that did not have full transparency as intended — dust in collapsing caves looks good again.[/p]

[p]Kind regards,
Raymond[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Improvements[/p]

• [p]In-game menus (settings, skills, ledger, etc.) can now be exited with B (East button) on gamepads.[/p]
• [p]Added voice acting tracks for Soldier intro (Adventurer voice tracks pending).[/p]

[p]Bugfixes[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where sound bars could accidentally be set to 100% when clicking a nearby setting button.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thank you to all players of the demo so far! I’ve been able to fix many smaller things these past few days thanks to your feedback. Deeply appreciate everyone trying the demo — and if you have feedback, don’t forget to join the Discord for that and the latest news![/p][p][/p][p]Kind regards,[/p][p]Raymond[/p]
