The month has gone by quite fast and much of the development was spent on flushing out bugs, combat system, and the first map environment. Additionally there were some features of Unity 5 that needed to be learned including a more in depth knowledge of Atmospheric Scattering and Global Illumination.
Networking:
So far so good, there will likely be many optimizations as the project continues. The goal is to work mostly from the prototype as it is until the existing game mechanics have been further developed out.
Game Mechanics:
Spells: Added a new spell for the mage, Whirling Wind Projectile.
Attacking: Working on new casting system that is less RPG like in nature. Currently skills are dropped into skill hot bar and then clicked from there. This new system does not require drag and drop of skills and will serve better for testing game pad support.
Steam Greenlight:
With great excitement I would like to start mentioning the consideration for releasing a steam greenlight page. Many developers recommend getting the community involved with a game project as early in the process as possible so our intention is to do just that. Within the next couple months I will work towards a more rounded game for an early access multiplayer experience and release the prototype on the future greenlight page. More details to come next month!
Concept Art: New Character!
Check out the Priestess Concept! The thought behind the Priestess character was kept simple with basic information about the character, i.e. Female, Warrior, Medieval fantasy, Nordic Influences (Viking age), Kind & cheerful Personality yet battle hardened. From this information the Priestess took shape into our newly rendered character concept shown below.
