Hope everyone has been doing well? Its the first of the month and the first major official update since the campaign finished!
I have been working around with laying out the foundation for all the inventory items such as weapons, scrolls (ninjutsu/crafting), and items (power ups/runes). Making it also display on the placeholder HUD. I have started sculpting out the terrain for Fire Town and it will be the first major town as part of Early Access. There are some mock up buildings and props positioned around the place so you can get a sense of the area, though this is far from finished. The town itself is based on Ginzan Onsen, which is a hot spring town in Japan and one of the main features is a river or canal that runs through the middle of it.
Level loading and transition is now in place which will allow me to put hints and tips on the loading screen. All the items above can be seen in the video below.
I have basic player / NPC speech dialogue up and running as you can see in the video below.
Lastly, this is an arial view of Fire Town's current layout. The river flows from the mountain to the north east to the west of the town, buildings on both side of the river, and two farmland to the far west.
Many thanks for reading, and as always please feel free to post any comments!
