Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is an indie game with the intent to recreate the amazing turn-based, first person RPGs from the golden age of PC gaming using modern game engine technology. Rich classics such as the Might & Magic series, Eye of the Beholder and the like have inspired this new title which, when finished will put its players into a literally infinite fantasy world filled with procedurally generated content. The Sword of Ahkranox isn't trying to compete with the larger, professionally developed RPG titles out there, but instead our aim is to fill a large gap that we believe has existed in game technology since the mid-nineties. It is definitely a must-have for all enthusiasts of the quintessential RPG. The game's procedural engine can generate an infinite number of weapons, items, spells, monsters, dungeons, cities, countryside and even dialogue, allowing the player to explore the game with no end and no reason to stop.

So we've had a bit of noise coming our way about the "snap" movement of the camera when you let go of the free-look button. As you would have seen in previous videos, the camera just sort of snaps back to one of the 90 degree angles. N, S, E or W.

However NOW, the camera will gently glide into those angles, making for a much less jarring interface :)


We also added an (optional) bob animation when you move, just in case you decide you like that sort of thing. Having it enabled also does away with the "on rails" effect that is easy to develop with games like this! Let us know what you think!

P.S. Please ignore the numbers being printed onto the screen. They're for our testing and won't be there in the final game.

You guys are doing great.
I personally found no fault with the old-school cam, but it's good to have the option.
The Dungeons are quite good and having a camera that is less jarring, gives more time to enjoy the atmo.
