Yep! With the third person camera and item attachments complete, it is time to begin the final polishing sequence for the game! "Project: Vantage Village" is a fancy way of saying that for the next steps, I will begin doing this by of course... building an entire village using every game craft, skill and item exhaustively!
Of course, all other normal development will continue. However, the focus this time is finalizing all game play mechanics and how they all interact with each other.
So, every hovel will be built... every herb grounded up, boiled, and steeped to perfection... every wound and disease acquired… every beautiful flower and weed placed outside my hovel, etc... you get the idea!
I have done a complete game play overhaul already before, and that focused on specifically each profession's crafts and game play mechanics independently (brush working, pottery, leatherworking, trapping, farming etc...) Now it is time to put everything together!
And I want YOU to help! I will be mostly doing this on the main online test server so that other people can come on an help build and test as well! I will change the character's starting location list to include the location of the village.
This process will be a long one of course, as there are currently over 100 crafts, over 450 items, and many skills to test, and those numbers keep growing!
I plan to move forward with starting this sometime next week hopefully. I will of course give more information soon!
Enjoy!
