Suddenly solo game dev.

[Mark @markkindx]

I've updated everything that I had put in my steam page trailer, so I rerecorded and recut it this week.

I'm thinking this could be a kind of alchemical device, not sure of what its purpose might be. It should be visible from the region map.

@DungeonRookie I've got to write that down!

[Mark @markkindx]

This statue is of a hero, but I made the plinth a separate object so I can make a statue out of anything.

@DungeonRookie Dazeling sounds good. I might change it to Gazeling.

[Mark @markkindx]

Started work on a confusion status effect and a kind of confusion monster, it still needs a name.

The player needed a place to rest, but I don't think they're going to haul a lounge chair through the wilderness.

@haru2401game I'm trying to keep all creatures on the same behavior tree with their unique stats pushing them to favor different verbs and nouns.

[Mark @markkindx]

Flightless. For me, that's obviously penguin. Took the opportunity to clean up some of the creature food seeking behavior.

@Youkoulailay Dramatically adjusting the stats and changing the combat math. These thorn hares should be among the weakest creatures in the game, and they are shredding the player.

[Mark @markkindx]

Combat works, but it's weighted way too far in favor of the monsters.

It's so nice to finally have event triggers like pressure plates and arrow traps working.

I needed a larger spider for my upcoming playtest, and they're pretty gangly, so it was a no brainer.

"Hooray" reminded me of the feeling of getting finding loot! Of course, I'll need to make a mimic…

It took a while for me to land on a banshee for the 'lady' prompt. Her voice makes the goblin panic and flee.

@fabguaraldo Cool idea to incorporate all the prompts into one drawing.

[Mark @markkindx]

@Kwad_rat @inktober excellent contouring. so menacing!

[Mark @markkindx]

It just felt good to smash a path through the flimsy fence with a war hammer.

[Mark @markkindx]

I added alchemist's fire! Toss a pot at a goblin to light the little bugger on fire, and the surrounding environment. I look forward to making the fire spread in the future!

[Mark @markkindx]

Yep, he's a rescue. I drew our oldest dog Edgar, and added a new icon for him in game. The original icon I made for him ended up looking like our younger dog Ada.

@DeftMenaceGames Total recut. I was was able to add in some new juice and I think I've ended up with a stronger structure. I'm not much of a video editor but v2 is better than v1, and the inevitable v3 will be better than that, and I can't hope for much more.
