Dev update : Main menu, items and more
Hello all, its monday and time for another round of updates and testing.
The core server have been taking quite a beating, but came out alive, so it seems that it's the right server to support the game, once we go live.
At the end of this month, we open up the beta to more people, so hopefully the core gameplay will be working at that point.
We switched to the latest version of the Unity game engine, which led to some unforseen firestorms codewise, but things should be under control now.
Also, we planned to run the loot-box model for this game, but we are looking into some alternatives, since new legislations about lootboxes are tearing up the "scene" at the moment.
This version has:
- Game main menu.
- News page.
- Moved beta notification to main menu.
- Item system for loot and rewards.
- Currency system.
- Skill icons are now gone from the game.
- Better flow for voting and nominations.
- Plague effects.
- Triggered items for player abilities.
- Better spectator handling.
This evening we will run a round of tests again, hopefully we will be closer to a more "game-ish" feel, and can start opening up for players to run their own games, whenever they feel like it.
