Status Update: Sirma and Umbra join the party, fusion of animation and dialogue systems
Added 2022-02-14 13:37:33 +0000 UTCHere is an update for the upcoming versions:
Lots of changes have being made and the rest of them is just around the corner !
Sirma, the Orc Warrior and Umbra, the Dark Elf Magician, have arrived in town and will be joining the other Guildmembers in their expeditions.
Some adjustments will be made to their skills as we go ; a new party management system is being added to the game as planned.
The dialogue system and the animation system are now fused together, allowing us to add idle/facial animations during town and dungeon events, as well as dialogue during the CG scenes.
Part of the feedback we got regarding the way CG scenes were being unlocked/display was that they felt disconnected from the story/characters.
As a result, we are making the following changes :
- CG scenes for Ally characters will feature dialogue and the animation variations will be tied to the dialogue progression ; dialogue beforehand will be rewritten.
- replaying these scenes in the Gallery will let the player choose between "Dialogue Mode" (as explained above) or "Interaction Mode" (with the variations controlled by buttons as currently in the game).
- CG scenes for Enemy characters will be unlocked and displayed during dungeon exploration instead of when using the Crytal device in Ellanore's office.
- replaying these scenes in the Gallery remains unchanged.
Either only the first variation will be unlocked during exploration or all of them ; need feedback on this and the use of crystals.
Thank you for your time and support, stay tuned for the new content !
