Upcoming February Update and a Poll
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 12:31:21 +0000 UTCHello, everyone, it's finally time to talk about the upcoming features. The update is scheduled to be released at the end of February and will include various new and necessary features.
Let's talk about all of them one by one:
New transition animations. Currently the transition between animations is as rough and simple as it can be and we don't like it being that way. This update is supposed to fix that by adding additional animations that will visualise transitions between already existing main animations. Even if it might not seem very productive to add something that will be visible only for a couple of seconds, but in the long run it is supposed to bring more immersion into gameplay and overall make much more sence;
Further development of combat system. Right now the combat system is in it's very raw state, but since the base structure turned out to be very stable, the only thing left is further development of visual and sound design. For example there is a noticeable lacking of visual hints and sounds while executing moves and healing up;
New animations and basic clothing manipulation. Well, new animations for this month, as usual, and also basic clothing manipulations like undressing are essential for the upcoming animations;
Better camera controls. Well, the feature speaks for itself, currently you can only zoom in and out from a specific spot. It's time to at least make that spot being able to move around. But if there is a better solution, it will be found.
Also a few more additions planned for this month, but it's not certain if I manage to make them fully functional by the end of the month and if I won't, they will not be released because they're quite dependent on each other:
New characters. Finally, the first additions to the roster and new characters to play with or against. But if there are more than two characters in the game, how the actual gameplay is gonna change? Will it turn into four-way instead of regular one on one competition?
Character select. Here's the answer, character selection system that will allow players to select a playable character and an opposing enemy.
And that's pretty much it regarding the new features, so now let's talk about upcoming changes and fixes.
It's important to balance out the new combat system as soon as possible, so, please, let me know what you think about it, is the healing ability is too good, does the enemy heals itself too often or is there anything else?
Also there is currently a very noticeable visual bug which causes rating to display incorrectly. It will be fixed in the new update.
And this is it for all the new features and changes and I want to finish the post with a poll about the best way to let you know about upcoming features.
You probably noticed that there were no teasers or sloilers before the January update, unlike before the December update. So let's figure it out, should there be at least one work in progress report before the update or should they be skipped completely? Please consider voting and thank you very much for your support and attention, stay tuned for the progress report!
