Crysalis Progress Report (2023-07-20)
Added 2023-07-20 12:12:41 +0000 UTCIt's Thursday, so time for another progress report!
This week it's a bit more visual than usual. Just keep in mind, that everything, you see here, can can change.
I'm working on the first area, which is not doing so well, as you can see.
Also I just started working on it, so wrong monsters around and there is really nothing to do.
Some bugs cropped up there already though, I need to fix. Also some problems, I need to solve, but will solve.
Some puzzles are also planned for it. Maybe not the most difficult ones, but they should be fun!
Also some structures and a small village are in as well. Still need to fix a few things up, add inhabitants, etc.
There is also a story line already, but it changes too much, to really give details here.
The overview is, that the forest guardian (Kitsebi) will not be pleased about your appearance and has escalating encounters, until you fight him in a boss fight.
You will also help the local ant population out, to get the ability to move rocks and become an ant soldier, for combat.
Also there will be foxes and other skunks (both quadruped) and a friendly raccoon! (aso quad)
Skunks will have offensive purposes, where foxes are just social transformations. And you will have to change into a fox, to access the villagers.
For now, I'm going to concentrate on the technical aspects (getting the map in game proper and creating abilities, as well as ways to change form), then I'm going to implement story parts.
All of it will be going to nightly first and once the forest is done, I'm going to concentrate on store fronts and getting early access out. Probably another trailer, as things will go from pre-alpha to alpha.
That is at least the plan.
Use the forest area to implement and test all core functions. Then move on and add functions specific to other areas only.
Also use it to test out concepts, so there are less changes later. Though, as long as this project isn't in beta, expect that there might still be big changes.
