Devlog 13 - Anghoul Overhaul, New Building, New Weapons


Welcome to yet another devlog! Originally this was going to be devlog 12.5, however we kept working on stuff, and decided to wait on the post until we finished the stuff we started. Sorry for the long delay between posts, but it was well worth it. Enjoy the read!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We've added a whole bunch of weapons into the game! For now, we will only show off the cutlass and it's different forms that can be crafted or found in the game. Many more weapons are in, but you'll need to find them to be able to check them out.

A new skybox has been acquired and added to the game. Here is an image of the new skybox in the overworld as it's currently being built. A video of the day/night cycle has been added to the game page as well.

The shop has been updated with new models in it.

We've overhauled the location for Anghoul. Below are some before and after shots so you can see the updated map. This will be the first time the map has ever been shown on its own, so please give us feedback so we can update it further.

*note: lighting has yet to be properly built. These images do not represent finalized art or gameplay*

The final building (for the beta demo) has been added! The tavern is where the player will spawn, get a couple quests, and learn the skills/spells. Here's some pictures of it.
