Hello!
We are back from our New Year's holiday, so the season of 2018 diaries is open. Vacation in our case was only de jure, de facto we continued developing the game and are ready to show you some interesting novelties. Let's begin.
Weather and time cycle
The first major change: we added global time to the game. Now there is morning, day, evening and night. Depending on the time of day, the illumination changes. So far, we have completed the work on the visual part, but in the future we are going to add various gameplay features as well. For example, light affects stealthiness and the field of view of the character and NPCs.
The speed of day and night cycle was 10x adjusted for this gif.
We also started working on the weather implementation. Sometimes the sky is clouded and the rain begins. The rain is divided into several phases: it starts with small precipitation, and gradually grows into a full storm with thunder and lightning. Standing in the rain, the characters begin to get wet and receive a special modifier, reducing their resistance to ice and electric damage. By the way, in the rain it is highly recommended not to walk in armor, it can start corroding.
Too bad umbrellas aren't invented yet.
New biome: Fields
We are slowly introducing diversity into biomes. Forests have fed us all, so meet the fields - beautiful with butterflies all around. However, it is better to see once, so here's your GIF:
You can easily die even here, however.
By the way, we also returned to the river and the lake generation, also slightly modified them. While the banks of the reservoirs look somewhat deserted, but this is only for now - in the future, reeds and other aquatic vegetation will be added to the game.
Ia! Even cultists got their beach bodies ready. What about you?
Identification
Well, the absolute classic for roguelikes and RPG: the system of identification. You find a mysterious item whose properties remain a mystery to you. Maybe this is a long-lost powerful artifact; maybe the ancient curse prevails over it. There clearly can not be understood without a scroll or an enchanter!
Better than expected!
That’s all for now. Stay online!
