DEVELOPMENT UPDATE #3:
A new Alpha update is live on Steam! It is addressing a lot of the bugs and issues discovered by the Alpha testers over the last few months! However, it's main focus is to continue adding features to Rawshire The Last Hatchling; in-particular the UI. This update includes some new levels, new enemies and NPCs, a whole new UI for the Pause and Main menu's, new tutorial and questing system, and the start of adding story elements to the game.
NEW TUTORIAL:
The tutorial system has been reworked to be real time events, this will be the same system used for story elements! It will allow the player to interact more freely and allow players to learn at their own pace!
New edition of the elder dragon, who will teach the player how to survive in Rawshire!
Even teach the player to fly!
NEW CHARACTERS:
During this update, two new characters make their debut; The Skorpi, and the Cave Kuappa!
Check out the character highlights below;
NEW LEVELS:
The mystic caves zone had a new puzzle system introduced that was added to the first two levels of the Mystic Caves! It also has the first draft of the new Mystic Caves Boss (The King). Alpha testers will be excited at this new challenge!
NEW UI:
The biggest part of this update is the new and improved UI! There is still work ongoing for the cohesiveness and finalization of the color scheme and font, however this new UI adds a lot of quality of life improvements and is a big step up from the previous iteration! Check out the images below;
3D world map!
New Skill tree!
Monitor your achievements in game!
BUG FIXES:
Alpha testers had sent me lots of bugs to fix over the last few months! All have been addressed and added to this build of the game.
NEW BOSS:
The King has been added which will definitely challenge players! A full reveal of the Boss' will come later on!
Thank you and looking forward to the next Patch (Alpha 0.6.1)
