Haven't written for a while, but I have been working on the project tirelessly :)
I managed to implement a different animation system for weapons, each one can have a unique animation (instead of predefined by very broad weapon type). Here's an example - Slingshot for Ranger:
I completely remade buffs/debuffs system - replaced it with Aura Controller, each aura can have its own icon, effect, length, etc... all affected by player/enemy stats. And it is all visible on the hud :D
...as well as a few new particle effects, here are some examples:
Stun:
Haste:
Armor buff:
Invisibility:
I implemented Pause functionality, as well as a bunch of in-game settings (which are saved, yay!)
Added Death system - for now, a short message is shown for a few seconds, and then you get teleported back to the last camp you rested at. Later, I plan on healing all enemies around the player who died, to remove possibility of rushing back after respawn again and again:
Created a ship that will be present in the game's intro sequence:
...with fully modelled interior, which serves as main menu + character creation hub:
Completely redesigned loading system - now with added level-specific loading screens and progress bar:
Split-screen multiplayer functionality added to main menu + improved co-op specific interface + fixed a TON of issues with it:
Implemented varied environments within one "level" - like getting into a cave without a loading screen
Entirely new Fog of war (map discovery) controller - now it's pretty slick, and it's saved together with each player character separately. I really like it :D
Also added collision blocks to prevent players from falling into the abyss or walking outside of the level
...and currently I am working on dialogues and quests. Here's a little walk around the Dagis village, and a dialogue with farmer Ferk, who's probably the first person you'll meet there.
In case you have any questions or remarks, feel free to write here :D
