Slowly grinding away at PARALLAX VEIL.
Today I got a bunch of UI work done on the resource bars so there's a really smooth indication of depletion.
I've also been working on the spell casting system.

Working on more world building, this time a direct opposite of the cyberpunk city, playing more on solar punk vibes of "flourishing" and "alive".

This emphasis of contrast is just one narrative theme in "Parallax Veil".

Been working on this worldspace for the past week and things are really coming together. I can't wait to populate the space further with NPCs to really drive the immersion of a bustling sprawl.

My internet died yesterday so I just kinda went a bit nuts on working on my hub world for the last 48 hours.

More world building progress!

Started working on some world design today. Mostly dialed in the ambient vibes on a small sample street I slapped together for now. This will build out into an explorable Hub world in between dives into the main game play space.

brief update on corruption spreading mechanic for PV

Very rough start of building corruption zone that will creep from each infected node. I am working on the logic right now so that when it touches a non-infected node, it will trigger a domino effect across the game world.

We can tie this into all kinds of world events.

For PV - I wanna try something different.
Instead of a collapsing bubble / circle, I want the mechanic to be that "sites of grace" become corrupted. The bubble / circle starts to expand from them and causes a domino effect to the others.

Nightreign uses this same mechanic, but it only makes sense to draw every player towards the boss. Nightreign is PvE with "battle royale" elements that don't truly make sense to me other than the flow of gameplay. (Which I will say I do thoroughly enjoy.)

This puts gameplay in the hands of the players in a PvE setting, and becomes a much more "mission" oriented game with a two-sided "battle royale" type situation:

Clear the corruption - or point of no return, defaulting to "Final Showdown".

By unlocking a "site of grace", it can shutdown the corruption from the inside, and shockwave "clear" the corruption to nearby sites.

Some ideas for Parallax Veil inspired by Elden Ring: Nightreign

Every "battle royale' game does this simplified collapsing circle thing. You have no control of where it's going to go, and you sort of are at the mercy of the game, drawing players together for a final showdown

Progress has been a little slow recently, but we're still working on things in the background. Recent goal is to get away from using the test model, and build some to fit the game and character generator.

More to come soon!

I'm currently moving, and during this downtime I am also wrapping up some things for other projects. We'll get back to dev work in the near future, following MAGFest at the latest.

Hope everyone's had a good start of the new year. 🙂
