Update - V11


This week I was mostly working on adjusting the lair to improve performance using level streaming. The level streaming is still in a pretty early state and will need a lot of tweaking. I also added in the first voice sample of the defiler which will pop up in the main menu when you open the game.  If you run into crashes during gameplay please post a comment and let me know where the crashes happen and what you where doing when they occur. I also added a quick teleport to return to the throne room faster. The altar is located behind the throne which is now the starting location.

I'm going to be aiming for updates once a week on Fridays to ensure consistency in the updates as well as more content. If I need to post a patch to fix game breaking bugs it will most likely be deployed on Monday night.

Thanks for support during these initial weeks of development. This coming week I'll be focusing on updating the combat system to be smoother and more enjoyable experience. If you have any ideas please comment and let me know.

Updates:

  • Redesigned lair, separating key points into different rooms. IE: Kitchen, throne room, altar, etc.
  • Optimized lair with level streaming volumes to improve overall performance.
  • Optimized elf maiden hair LODs to improve level performance.
  • Adjusted lighting in Crypts to improve performance. (Still needs work)
  • Reduced landscape size to reduce loading times.
  • Added Defiler voice to main menu.
  • Added footsteps to human characters
  • Added secondary sex sounds.
  • Added quick teleport. Press T key to return to the throne.
  • Minor UI tweaks.
