Have Some Terminys Progress!

Posted by Castypher on Nov. 16, 2013, 12:37 p.m.

I suppose today is a good day for an update. Since my last devlog, I've hired Taizen, who gleefully slaves away on things, making progress.

New time and lighting system for more world immersion. The time of day does things from affecting residents' schedules to opening dungeon areas to spawning dangerous enemies on the field at night. Please don't mind the dunce behind me.

AI now allows for complex state handling, which is adjusted by several factors including the player's status, the enemy types, and the boss's phase.

Naked people!

Netherwraiths are a new addition that appears every full moon. They're complicated, difficult boss fights that ban EP regen and spontaneously create Dead Zones, which casters have difficulty casting in.

Make way for Bree the fighting lamppost!

The present god is pleased!

I'm also creating a survival horror game in Unity called Summer's End, focused around manipulating earth energy to create tools, and delving into a tower of dead people solving puzzles and discovering what happened to them. It's a project I plan to finish within the next year or so, so more on that later.

You must appreciate how difficult it actually is to get Bree to focus in one direction.

It's harder than it looks.
Technically she spins to eventually point in the direction she's walking. You should see River's idle animation. Stand in place for a short while, then get bored and start spinning.

Hina style.

Between the lasers and the spinning though, I think this River is rapidly becoming my favorite Terminys character.

I almost mistook this for twilight realm, then scrolled down and saw it was a different art style and then saw purple and thought twilight realm/Kilin.
I did too. I even took the time to read part of the blog…Or, part of the image, anyway…And it said "twighlight realm flower"

So if I make one game centered around the color purple, I can't use it again?
Your name is also purple. You gave me a badge with the colour purple. "kilin" means "purple" in Yugoslovian.

As for the information provided with the screenshots: it's good you're making headway. Especially with naked people.

Well then. When I was making TTR, I remember having Cyrus come up and say "It's like Terminys HD!" So, rather than having Terminys be a low-graphic game compared to TTR, I brought them on even ground.

Plus I really needed to get away from the Earthbound style.

I'd Google Translate it, but Translate is a little short in the Yugoslavian department. Because of this, I'm inclined to call you a liar.

Glad people seem to like it so far. And glad the naked person has had such a positive effect on everyone. Who next?

I vote that you make Bree naked next.
