Version “V.0.5.6.4 -Blue Moon Cult Quest Update”

Hello people, Dara here...

I decided to share a dev journal here and on our patreon page every week, and share a small devlog daily in our discord server. I’ve been working on some new stuff that will enhance the visual experience of animations on some quests, after fight scenes and dialogues. The quest planned for this release has them, I’ll put a few gifs here to give a little hint about what “Blue Moon Cult” quest includes. Here’s a summary of what will be there on the release “V.0.5.6.4 -Blue Moon Cult Quest Update”.

“V.0.5.6.4 -Blue Moon Cult Quest Update”.  

Added:

• Blue Moon Cult Quest.
• Replayability function is added to Blue Moon Cult quest. (Wanderer will pop up a dialogue that directs to every animation included in the quest.)
• “Cinematic Camera Animations” (Gifs 1-5). I think it is the killer move in this update.

Fixed:

• The energy bar in Sandsworth would not fill the bar properly.

Being worked on:

• Two more quests “A Challenger in town” and “What a Mess”
• Button Mashing Mechanic is a new feature. It works and it will be implemented in “A Challenger in Town” quest as an arm wrestling sequence (image 6), and every Special Move section in combat scenes. Also adjustable difficulty and random dialogue pop ups during mashing.

• ”Cinematic Camera Effects” as I mentioned above will be on every special animation, I will turn back and add them to every scene then release them at one go. I don’t plan on releasing them one after another.
• “What a Mess” quest also features another mini-game, collect items mechanic, where player drags and drops objects into a container to complete the quest.
• New gym: Destor will be able to train his strength, agility, vitality and etc. in the gym. This will require Sandsworth energy only. So it is another challenge to manage your energy and days, it will be hard to fight, work and train in the same day. Stats will effect the way Destor wears armor, weapons and the damage as well

Personal stuff: I was in a 1.5 month long game-jam for a game development course finishing project of Google. It was a tough run, working with 4-5 people groups who don’t know each other was something new for me. And so tiring of course, It separated me from RoD for a while. It made me recognize the value of my own game. Now that it’s done, and it’s summer, I decided to grab “add at least one thing every day and write it to dev-log” routine, this way its more manageable, and faster. 

Conclusion: This release will have a sneak peek to our new animation system with cinematic camera animations. And there are great stuff waiting to be implemented in the following updates. You can follow daily dev-logs on our discord server and weekly dev-journals on itch.io or patreon. Thank you for our supporters we will always be looking for feedbacks and comments on our discord server and patreon page.
