As a little progress update, I made a new event for Kayelinth today which I think turned out really nice and sweet. I'm sure this event will give her a lot more fans. :D

Update 24.10.16


A new version has been uploaded and contains:
- 3 requests, 2 bounties and 1 event available at the new city board in front of your castle.
- Several buggy recipe fixed.
- Changed the name of the time value "days" in the merchants map. This is supposed to aviod confusion of people who think they would need to sleep in order to skip days.
- Auto-save can be toggled on/off in the main menu now.

General information:
- You can continue to play your old progress by copying the old save folder into the folder of the new game version.
- Saveslot 15 and 16 are used for auto-saves. Don’t save your own progress there if you don’t want it to get overwritten with auto-saves or toggle off auto-saves in the main menu.
Thanks to my game testers for finding several bugs and helping to improve this upload beforehand.

Progress report 4


The next update will still take a while so I decided to make a little report on the current state of it. :)

It'll contain several bugfixes for the main quest, Leneth, item synthesis as well as some older stuff.

A new feature will be the city board in front of your castle in Aldlyn as you can see in the screenshot. On the board you'll be able to see notifications for events, bounties and request.

- Events like festivals will be used for new events in different locations. Sometimes these will also be played or viewed from a different perspective than Ryens.
- Bounties on certain people can be accepted and will require you to capture or defeat someone.
- Requests are usually made by people looking for specific items. For example someone might request a book so you can bring him one for a little reward.

Help wanted.

I'm currently looking for people who could help me with some parts of the game creation.


Game tester:
Most important part of this job would be to test new game versions before release to find bugs. In-between updates they should try to break the game in every possible way to find any other problem.

Requires: Skype for quick communication and he needs to spend enough time online that a new update can be tested quickly so that I don't need to wait a long time for testing before I can release it.



Pixel artist:
I would like a pixel artist for a few custom-made tiles and characters.



Graphic designer:
Needed for things like banners, logos and a better visual presentation of some game elements.



Musician:
For a unique intro sound, battle music, background music and some sound effects I would like to have a musician that can create those.


Please send me examples of your previous works if you're interested in helping the game as pixel artist, graphic designer or musician.


All applications can be send to naughty-netherpunch@web.de
Skype is prefered for communication for all positions but only required for game tester.

Update 07.10.16


The new update is finally uploaded! It contains:
  • New content for the main story line. (continues in Witton where it ended before)

  • Item synthesis at several blacksmith now possible!

  • You can now harvest Iron Ore in several dungeons after getting the
    Mithril Pickaxe. You’ll get the pickaxe during a side quest of the new
    story line events which also brings you to the new map Dhranholl mines.

  • More about different races with Ellanore at the sleeping chambers.

  • Sound bug with the stone boulder trap fixed.

  • Stone seller dialog in the capital changed to make it easier to find him.

  • New CG scenes added for Hellhound and the Wyvern girl Leneth. You
    can start those events and find Leneth in a locked storage at the
    Norhall Stronghold in Begus. You’ll need Sandra to open the door.



I’m also working on a new battle system for the warmap. A can take a
look at the current state of it in the screenshot below. Moving your own
 units (green) around and attack enemies works fine but making
conditions for enemies to react to your units is still taking some time.
 Also planned to be added in this system are:


  • Research trees for each unit time (replaces "formation" in the warmap screen)

  • Experience for fight and level ups for each unit.

  • Special commanders (maybe as "heros") for units.



The walkthrough will be updated in a bit as well.

Please be so kind to leave your feedback here or per mail at naughty-netherpunch@web.de

Saveslot 15 and 16 are used for auto-saves. Don’t save your
