Had to make a small teaser for an online contest I was participating in. Figured I'd also share it with you guys as a sneak peek at the new Research Facilities.

Showing off more of our procedurally generated space stations. This research facility has been abandoned for a while, and gotten a bit overgrown by...something.

Been working on implementing larger, more open rooms into our procedural space station level generator. Here's an example of a randomly generated cargo hold. Also, functional vehicles!

Sorry for the silence, we've been hard at work!
We're very close to an Alpha Build ready for release.
More info to come soon. Until then, here's a peek at a procedurally generated room in a Research Space station.

Retweeting our current game for anyone interested!

[Salvage @Salvage_Game]

Here's some brand new rooms from our procedurally generated space stations. We're putting a lot of work into an interactive environment that feels "alive".

Here's me messing around in a large nuclear reactor in one of our procedurally generated space stations.

Continuing with Civilian stations. Many of them have greenhouses and bio-sectors. This is also a good clip to show off our lighting and particle effects.

Eirik has been hard at work improving spells and projectiles. As previously mentioned, players can create their own weapons and magical spells. Here he combined fireballs with extra explosive power and the ability to follow the cursor.

@schultz1417 Fantastic work! Love the designs and palette!

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Shields, like all other items, weapons & armor, can be modified. You can apply various artifacts to them that greatly enhance their abilities. Like lighting blocked enemies on fire, or stunning them, or storing blocked damage to be released as an explosion. Just to name a few

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Past month has gone to multiplayer/performance. Which is rather dull, under-the-hood type of development, so instead here's a look at the first 4 tiers of shields. Unique Melee items that come in 3 types: Blocking, Bashing & Parrying.

#gamedev #indiegame #Riftborne #pixelart

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Lastly Parrying Shields are also activated items, except they negate all damage and deal some of it back to the attacker. Their timing is tight and requires skill to use effectively, but they have no movement penalties and allow you to use your other hand.

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Bashing Shields are activated items. They knockback enemies and deal some damage. They'll also negate a portion of incoming damage the second you use them. They do not limit your movement or prevent you from attacking with your other hand. Useful for creating some breathing room

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Blocking Shields negate all damage when used, but also prevent movement or attacking with your other hand. Full defense, for as long as their durability holds. They're used by holding down the mouse button of the hand they're equipped to.

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

@Levangeriam Multiplayer implementation has taken us a while, but we're closing in on a playable product. No worries, you haven't missed the testing. ;)

[Riftborne @Riftborne]

Multiplayer is starting to take shape! For the first time in 1.5 years of development, we can play Riftborne together!

We're super excited to soon be able to play with you all!

More work on particle effects and lighting, as well as new furniture for dungeons.
