The big part of tonight's Build includes an update to the way the first group of Deep Dwellers are created in the stronghold to fix the bug where they don't spawn correctly. This particular bug I was never able to reproduce, but I rewrote their spawn system and it should be much more stable now. If after getting this update anyone runs into the bug please let me know and I'll continue to investigate.
This build also includes:
- You can now double tap A and D to roll left and right respectively.
- Desert Wood is now automatically collected after chopping down a desert tree.
- The camera will no longer move backwards during combat when you are zoomed in close to your character.
- Added "About" text for Callie the Trader.
- The Necromancer Tower map will no longer display "monsters left"
- The broken sewer quest will now correctly display "pipes left" rather than "monsters left"
- Updated monster knockback so they always move backwards based on their facing, not your facing.
When I first fixed Callie's "about" text, I used the wrong localization number and it pointed to one of the skill names:
The character Callie is inspired by my wife. I think she found it even more amusing than I did. :)
Still working on the combat update but it's going much slower than I'd like. Mostly due to the stuff in the most recent builds taking priority. Hoping to get it done for the weekend at the latest. Really want to get all of your feedback on it once it's on the test server!
I also started some work on a simple quest for Nika the Dog. It's going to involve going into a dungeon as I realized while there are lots of cave quests, there is only one dungeon quest! Dungeons are the best way to get gold so I figure there should be more opportunities to find them. The name of the quest is going to be "Give a Dog a Bone" - you can probably guess why that works with the dungeons. :)
Thank you again everyone for all of the feedback, support, suggestions, and reviews. I hope you are enjoying the game and the updates!
