Dear community,
We wanted to update you on recent progress with Legends of Ellaria. As you know, we have been slowing updates down to work on bigger features such as the RPG system and the Sphere of influence.
We are now building this for the game and as of now we have progressed on the following fixes and features:
1. There's a new visual editor for the RPG system, which will allow us to define classes, attributes, and skills in the upcoming RPG update.
2. The RPG system is expected to have a proficiency-based leveling system, where you'll invest proficiency points for each level you gain. Proficiencies (Warrior, Ranger, Mage, Diplomat, and more) will boost your abilities in said proficiency and will give you the ability to unlock Talents. These talents (Whirlwind, City Manager, Swordsman, and more) will improve your stats and may unlock skills to use during combat.
3. We are almost done with the First Person view mechanism. You will now be able to switch between first and third person mode by pressing “F”(or rebinding it to your preferred key). There are some camera differences between first and third person view, where going sideways makes the player face the desired direction, while in first person it will always face in the direction that the camera is facing.
4. In addition we are working on IK (Inverse Kinematic) allowing the players and other NPC’s act much more flexible and accurate to the terrain and environment they're in.
Our next Major Update Part 1 will include First Person view, IK, “WASD” key bindings and more :)
While the initial RPG system will be available in the beta stage, it will be fully released and improved on as a Major Update part 2, date still pending.
In order to sign into the beta, please join our discord server and PM us with your steam profile, we would love to have as many of you join us in developing the game together.
For all of you that have left reviews, thank you so much. For those that haven't, please make a review, we read every single one of them and work from your feedback to improve the game.
See you in Ellaria,
Larkon Studio
