November Dev Report
Hey guys! I don't know if this is going to be more of a change log or a roadmap but I wanted to just roughly lay out where we're at and the intended sequence of the final game and where I'm heading.
Chapter One
The start of the game revolves around the protagonist beginning his career as an adventurer, meeting the mysterious Ash, and discovering his unique abilities while on his mission through the ancient aqueducts and encountering the Slime King.
- Being woken up and sent job hunting my his mother
- Meeting Ash and learning of the exciting job posted by the warlock
- (Unfinished) Traveling to the Warlock's estate in the upper city
- Meeting the Warlock for the first time and accepting the mission
- Purchasing new armor
- Encountering Lukka on the street to learn about the buddies get together at the tavern
- Meeting Ash at the eastern gate and embarking on the mission
- (Unfinished) Scene before the dungeon to explain why Ash is separated from the protagonist at the start
- The protagonist encounters the strange slime and his unique ability is triggered, transforming him into a slime form
- Regrouping with Ash
- Encountering the Slime King to collect his soul gem for the Warlock and to allow the protagonist to revert to his original form
- Returning to town, Ash leaves to report to the Warlock
- (Unifinished) Meeting the buddies at the Tavern
- Cut-away to Ash giving his report to the Warlock
- After tavern option to go home alone or bring Lukka
- Sleepover with Lukka or tell him to go
- If the protagonist is alone, Ash will visit in the night
-Chapter One ends-
- The protagonist wakes up the next morning, confused about the events of the previous day/night
- (Unfinished) Meet Ash outside and he re-joins the group
- (Unfinished) They head back to the Warlock to receive reward and the next mission
Chapter Two
This past week I've been working on the outline for the chapter two scenario, all the monsters that will make an appearance, the events that will take place and the design of the protagonist's monster forms and I have to say I'm really exciting for how it's looking right now!
The next dungeon/area to explore will be the forest to the east of the city. Some of the details are still being worked on but it will have goblins and even bigger greenskins. This will substantially larger area and scenario than the first chapter and will take a lot of time to develop but I will continue to try to keep a regular release schedule where possible.
For those of you who play every build and give feedback each month, thank you greatly! It's helpful and appreciated. However for people who want to wait for bigger changes to the game, maybe wait between builds until I've had time to add more to the game.
In addition to working on chapter two I'll also want to continue to expand on exploration and discoveries around the city and eventually I want to add deeper levels to the aqueduct dungeon that will have optional quests and new monsters to fight. I will occasionally work on some monsters in secret so that the game will retain some elements of discovery for the future.
Anyway hope that sheds some light on my near future goals for the storyline of the game!
As always, thank you all for your amazing support towards making this game a reality! It's going to be good!
