Greetings! Welcome back to another weekly dev log where I share my progress for the week and where things are headed.
What have I worked on this past week?
Discord! Finally, after a long time we now finally have a Discord for Lands of Crown! It is still very young and bare bones, but its good to go. If you want to join, you can click here to do so.
New Dialogue! For the longest time, the dialogue responses for all the classes was very rigid and not very interesting. NPCs could only give a single response, and said responses were baked into the code of the game. Therefore, we now have a system where NPCs can choose from a variety of lines to say, and those lines can be translated too. This is a welcome improvement that I hope will introduce some personality and life into these characters, let me know what you think!
Small Additions/Changes! As always, there's been a ton of small tweaks and changes I made over the week, such as fixing GUI bugs to changing how the Ice/Fire Orbs work. The old Fire/Ice Wands have been updated to use a beam attack. There is now a Wire Trap that shoots out a beam that can be tripped and will alert property owners and activate other traps.
Where are things headed?
Unfortunately, i did not get as much done as i would have liked this week, my apologies for that. Sometimes you just don't have the time you think you did. Regardless, my todo list for this week is to finally add some non-combat items to make the game more fun, as well as make new buildings for the other Lands that will include traps. I intend to polish these four (Human Village, Snow VIllage, Wilds, Spooky Village) Lands as much as I can in the coming weeks, before Steam Next Fest.
Thanks for reading, and as always I look forward to hearing from you.
Until next time,
