15 New images and information on the Upcoming 1.05 NPC Village Update!
Hello Everyone!
We have had our heads down working hard on the next big update for Adventure Craft and have not had much time to post any news in a while, but we wanted to let everyone know that we are still alive. A few people have wondered if we have abandoned the project but we assure you all that we have not abandoned it! In fact we can't wait for you to play what we have in store for the next update!
So we decided to post some new images and talk a little bit about each one as another "preview post" for the upcoming 1.05 NPC Villages update.
Please note that all images posted here are works in progress and do not reflect the final quality. So here we go!
NPC Villages
The major focus of 1.05 is the addition of NPC villages and NPC Structures to the World Map. The villages will vary in size from small vulnerable single tile map villages, to large 25 Tile White Knight protected Towns like you see here.
A White Knight Village on the Map
The White Knight Villages will expand the overall presence of the White Knights in the world, including adding new members of The White Knight's Order like the "High White Knight"
High White Knight Patrolling with a Crew
High White Knight Powering Up
High White Knights are MUCH more powerful and WAY faster than a typical White Knight and can dish out enormous damage to anything they engage in battle. Battles involving High White Knights are a spectacular show of force that can be dangerous to behold, especially if a High White Knight falls in battle to a creature of Darkness and is transformed into the dreaded Red Knight!
White Knight Fighting the Darkness
Inside the White Knight Villages
The Interior tile maps of White Knight Villages are composed of several different "themed" tile maps, each having its own gameplay and content. Here's an overhead view of a few of these. A Neighborhood, Town Graveyard, and Town Center.
Neighborhoods
Neighborhoods are populated by NPC's just going about their daily lives. NPC's will leave and come home, have wake/sleep cycles, and can make their own decisions about how to interact with you based on your behavior. This will give you the opportunity to do things like break in and steal their stuff if you like when they are away or asleep. But BEWARE! NPC residents will defend their property if you are discovered!
Town Graveyard
Town Graveyards are spooky places with creepy things that can sometimes creep into town causing various problems for a town's inhabitants.
Town Center
The Town Center contains static shops that will give you reliable access to items, weapons etc, as well as the usual pop up shops and other fun activities.
Town Center Weapon Shop
Here is an image of the Town Center Weapon Shop, where you can buy things like scrap and other weapon and equipment related items.
Town Center Potion Shop
Town Center Teleporter
Each town center will contain a teleporter that will link to your existing teleporter network once you have accessed it.
In addition to the tile maps listed above, White Knight villages will also contain: White Knight Border Mazes and Districts, Slums, A Farm, A Mysterious Mansion and even and "Real Estate Tile Maps". Purchase a deed and you can build your own house within the town.
Giant Roaches are a common problem in the Slums
The Slums are the home of many unsavory characters who will sell you things like lock picks and other illegal items if you can put up with their roach infestation.
Uncover the secret to the Mysterious Mansion
Who are the creepy people who inhabit the Mysterious Mansion? Why do they only come out at night? Why are they chasing you with a knife?
New Weapons, Equipment and Items
Each new tile map in the 1.05 update will include a selection of new weapons, equipment and recipes to discover.
White Knight Armor Set
Build your own set of White Knight Armor and Join the Order Yourself!
Powerful New Bombs that can create Nuclear Wastelands
The explosive weaponry of the White Knights can sometimes create serious problems if not used with caution. And sometimes if used with caution!
So the question is...
WHEN CAN WE PLAY IT?!?!!
This is only a small taste of the changes coming in version 1.05. It is the largest content update that we will be releasing so far, so it will take us some time to get it ready for public testing. Currently we are shooting for the first quarter of this year for the release. But we will try to release it as soon as possible so that you all can play it and start giving us feedback. Thanks for your patience!
