Knock, knock, travelers!
Another Friday brings along another developer diary entry. Today, we’ll show you this week's results, as well as some things what we’re still working on. Let's get started!
For the Record
Nothing beats having all the necessary information at your fingertips, right? That's why we're working on a new section for your in-game achievements. It's always nice to see everything you've accomplished! For those who have a passion for collecting achievements, this feature will be particularly useful.
Hey, Where Is Everyone?
If you wander through the forest and upon a clearing stumble,
Where you find a camp of strangers, looking none too friendly there,
Don’t you fret! Smile at them warmly, join their circle by the fire,
Sit beside them, share their warmth, feel the glowing embers' care.
But if you fall into a slumber in the fire’s gentle cradle,
When you wake, you'll find the clearing empty, silent, all alone.
Animation Updates
Lately no diary entry goes without new visual effects, and this edition is no exception.
Persival is a valiant and merciful knight who firmly believes in atonement and gives every enemy a chance.
And the “Acid” debuff from Vanadis’ striking arrows will now deal damage with this new effect.
She’s Alive!
Finally, the animators' revitalizing hands have reached the final event, after which the fate of Midian will be decided. Don’t stare into her eyes for too long; instead, prepare well for the ultimate battle.
What the… a Fish-Wolf-Elf?
Yes, that’s right! We continue working on new skins for the heroes. This week, our artists have made a new look for the lycan. It seems to suit him; at the very least, it looks quite exotic. What do you think? Does Bjorn look good with scales and a dramatic crest? We wonder in what deep waters such a creature might be found.
It’s Pet Friday!
Here’s our special Friday buff with the furry companions of team RedBoon. Are you already feeling the surge of cute-energy and the +100 mood bonus?
How About Some Chit-Chat?
Andrew aka Innrey, the founder of RedBoon, is here with you again. Days fly by at a startling speed, sometimes even scaring us with their pace. We still have many tasks and challenges ahead, while the time to complete them keeps shrinking. But we don't lose heart; we see the goal and ignore the obstacles. Well, of course, we don’t ignore them completely, but we try not to dwell on them and keep moving forward.
This week we launched a short open beta test to make the upcoming update more stable and better. I want to thank all the participants of the OBT, you helped us catch quite a few nasty bugs and gave us very valuable feedback. In general, I can say that the players liked the update. That's why we decided to release the update today!
But it didn’t go smooth... You know, friends, it's hard enough for indie developers to work under all the pressure and stress and we decided to prepare an update that will definitely improve our financial situation. Meet the new feature!
Intrigued? We definitely are! Now jokes aside, there will be no roulette. Well, at least not yet :) But we still keep thinking about the pressing matter at hand, budgets.
That's all for today. See you next Friday!
