Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the new build still can't be available today, but it's about to get done, I'm completing the final optimization phase and tweaking a few things in preparation for testing, and it including the enemy system. I tried this combat system, but I need to know if it is suitable for everyone to balance it best, so please help me.

You can download the test build here, you can only use 3 weapons to be able to test the best difficulty. I also added a bit of H-Pictures! 

Download:  Battle Test

Thanks! 

How difficult is it?

Comments

Kordan

Ok,lets begin execution. *Flashbacks from dungeon 2*

Kordan

First, second and double swords enemies are easy. What to do with shield I don't understand, I always hit in shield, and can't understand when she plan to attack so we are running around a lot. Mage was a little hard, but interesting. I like it. And about old problem... Can you add quick slots? Because using heal and changing weapons by CapsLock are VERY uncomfortable.

segamex

Oh no, new bug (Sweat)! Please re-download the latest version with some minor changes. I'm checking it. Thanks.

Saryx

those is quite some interesting battle ai and the mage got some nasty spells but the easiest one was the one with the crossbow though so its somewhere between normal and hard cause fighting a whole group might turn out as quite difficult deppending on the enemy numbers

Kordan

You can counter mage by using your fire magic on his spell

segamex

With shield enemy you can quickly dash behind them and attack. I will rebalance it. Thanks for your opinions.

Kordan

But it is hard to talk about Level balance by acting in 1 by 1 battles

segamex

For Mage maybe I should add a circle of light around it that can cause damage when near. Some enemies are easy on their own but more difficult when in groups.

Saryx

well was only fighting the mage with the sword and forgot about the fire spell its more then a half year since i played this last after all

Kordan

Yeah that the problem. As I said - it is hard to talk about Level balance by acting in 1 by 1 battles

segamex

I need to balance them at Easy and Normal levels so that when they work in groups it won't be too difficult.

C2GSOvermind

ok, i do like the faster movement for small agile enemies, and were appropriately harder to hit. 1 on 1 was normal, but a group battle of these fast enemies would be very difficult. at first, I thought we would be given a weapon so i started battle, and there was my dumb ass fighting the enemies with fists only, and I made it to the shield and spear enemy before first death... then decided to cheat some weapons! since crossbow does 1/2 heart every attack and could fire very quickly, it could be deadly with a shield guy as a guard... The mage has an attack with 3 fireballs, and it seems each fireball can do 1.5 hearts of damage, so getting hit by 2 of them is instant kill with only 3 hearts... the mage should have more of a build-up for such a damaging attack, and the mage should try to keep its distance by running when the player gets too close

segamex

I will adjust the damage, with Mage I will make a circle around that can deal damage when the player gets too close. Thank for your opinions.

Knight1780

i liked it, had no problems taking them down. Shield guy was fun. Just dodged in direction of spear side.

segamex

Thank for your opinion.

Zhurf

Feels pretty good. I died right at the end to the mage but idk what he killed me with, seemed like some attack thats supposed to hit multiple times or something. I do wonder how they would play out in a group setting tho but one on one id say it works just fine

Onimaru123

I am glad that you are all right and continue to work, thank you for that.

ShinWoong

Spear and shield unit hard than other enemy because I think unit can be defended. Overall, I think it's easy, If i have a weapon. + I wish the magic was varied. like a charge attack or a buff.

segamex

Thank for your opinion. I will add some new magic.

segamex

Thank for your opinion.

segamex

Thank for your info. I will balance them at Easy and Normal levels so that when fighting in groups they won't be too difficult.

RageEevee

so far the enemies are easy as the you just attack them and they keep flinching. only real troublesome enemy is the one with the shield due to it being nearly impossible to hurt due to the hit box of the shield and their turn rate makes it hard to get behind them to hit them. other then that its fair.

segamex

They are more difficult to attack in groups. I will decrease shield block rate. Thank you for your opinion.

Saryx

short question, would you say before or after Halloween?

segamex

I'm trying to finish before halloween. It is about to be done. Sorry for so long.

wtf1knox

Only shield enemy is OP, other is good. Why shield? Cuz backstabing deal no damage.

segamex

I will improve it. Thank for your opinion!

SubHuMANT

Do you know / have a date for the next release ?

segamex

I'm trying to finish it by the end of this month. Sorry for long!

segamex

I look forward to this game too, I'll release a new build before it!

serjiantik

there will be no update again?

AC

Are you planning to do it for a year?

segamex

There will be at least 2 more builds between now and the end of the year. I promise, only this build will take the longest time, subsequent builds will come out monthly with more content to make up for. I had more time to go on. Sorry! New build are being tested and fix some bugs.

segamex

New build are being tested to fix some bugs. It's about to be completed. Sorry for delay!

Saryx

there will be another update just that it is impossible to say when

wjdqjqj

It would be nice to release the test build now and get feedback.

segamex

For ease, I'm testing each part, it is only playable when the parts are combined into one full version. It will be ready not too long. Sorry for delay!

Knight1780

No update this month either huh?

segamex

No, it will be updated this month. Sorry for delay :(

Saryx

honestly at this point i can just say we will see about that at the end of the month or maybe earlier

Starsegen

You say that every month

Maverick Arkguard

My guess is that he's running into what most aspiring developers/programmers do: project bloat. He has a thing he wants to do. Turns out to implement it will require a lot of code. So he codes. And codes. And codes more. Then he finally gets it working but its buggy. Now he has to debug. And it's a lot of code to debug. So it just goes on, and on. Eventually he's at the point where he is now. "I can finish it by the end of the month." But that just doesn't happen. If you've never programmed before, let me tell you, it's a lot of work. And if you're learning and it's your first big project well it's gonna take ages and many, many iterations. Something like this might seem easy but it's actually quite ambitious. I'm all for him doing it, and I share your skepticism to a degree at this point, however, this is a one man show and he's adding stuff that's making his code real chunky by necessity. He's mentioned this is a major code update and will allow much smoother updates afterward. So it's either a code overhaul and/or these are major features that will be used moving forward. From what he's said how it'll easier to update the game moving forward I'm guessing code cleanup at the least. So, yeah it's gonna take a while for stuff like this all on your own. My 2 cents. I'll still be here when he does update. :D

Any news Yet about the release?

segamex

I'm trying to get it done as soon as possible. Sorry for so long! From now until the end of this year there will be 2 new builds.

Saryx

as much as i would like that but arent you a bit optimistic there to be honest?

segamex

I'm trying to update it by the end of this month, it needs to be well optimized so that the next build is easier to update, it has a lot of small things to edit. Sorry for the long, hope you can wait :(

Maverick Arkguard

You're cleaning up your code, "optimizing" as you say it. That can take a very, very long time for one person to do, especially for something like this that will have a lot of code. Don't worry about it. Try your best. I'll still be here when you release the next build.

segamex

Yes. Thank you so much!

Saryx

i wouldn't have access to this post anymore if i couldn't wait

Sapicachon

Hey, do you still think you are gonna be able to release 2 new builds? and if you have somewhat of an idea of when its gonna be released? i really love your work but i'm very impatient to seeing the new content!

segamex

I'm worried about new update and working hard so I spend less time online. Sorry for the late reply! I don't know how else to say. To make it easier for future builds to update more content every month, I have edited a lot of things so I have had a lot of problems. I'm trying to get build 0.8.6 done as fast as I can around early next month and one more build will improve, adding content for 0.8.6 also by the end of next month.

GuanTyng

Can you really publish before Cyberpunk?

Saryx

its two updates in one month now so lets see how this turns out

Knight1780

well it be this month or next year?

segamex

Yes, it will come out this month!

RageEevee

we can only hope it does

wjdqjqj

hmm.........

Saryx

is there any chance that i can get you to tell us what is keeping you from finishing the next version?

segamex

Sorry! I really don't know how to say. I have a severe illness and must be hospitalized （´ ヘ｀；）. But not so the progress stopped, it is just slower, I still do it with my laptop in the hospital. It will still be out this month!

Saryx

well if even that dont stops you from working at the game then drop at least the idea of 2 updates this month and concentrate more at getting well though

GuanTyng

Any Xmas gift?

FunkGoner

Well, I don't think I can trust you a little, can you still release a new version this month

Saryx

the update is here when its here cause i am sure that being hospitalized messed up the progress speed a lot and especialy when it is the only person making this game

Zerak

its been 1year without an update. And still nothing so I understand if ppl are out of patience

Saryx

you dont need to tell me about waiting especialy after the last two posts which i would count as teaser but complaining dont makes the next update any faster either though

SubHuMANT

The thing is, don't give false hope by saying "update this month" ... if you're unsure about being able to get an update out, remain silent about it, and it will be a pleasant surprise the day it comes out, instead of each passing day from when you "lied" being another disappointment. I'd much prefer never knowing than having my hopes up only for to be disappointed because of failure to get it out when announced. On that note, still 3 days left to get it out before next year ...

segamex

I'm really sorry. This year a lot of bad things happened to me, and by the end of the year I was seriously ill and had to be hospitalized for a long time. I still carry my laptop and work in the hospital but it is time limited and doesn't work as well as a PC so progress is slow. My illness has turned out much better, i need a few more days to be discharged and work steadily again. About new build, it won't take too long to get ready. I promise, next year's builds will be updated steadily and with more content to make up for this year's losses. Sorry again :(

SubHuMANT

We're all aware of that, no need to apologize for stuff you have no control over (your health and the illness you've suffered). What I'm saying, and what must be remembered is to not give out a date or say "next month" if you're not 100% sure, because THAT is what leads to negative comments and complaints. We're all still here, have been supporting (even to the small amount some of us are, but hey, 300 patrons spending 3$ is still 900$ on top of whatever job you might have) you. I'm glad to hear you're getting better health wise, but actions speak louder than words. Please don't be making promises you're not sure you can hold, get something done, hold onto it for a week or so during which you tell us "in 1 week new release", then release it. Psychology, it's very easy to rebuild trust, just don't go handing out empty promises, that's how you lose support. And again, don't apologise for what you can't control. Inform us about it and keep it simple.

segamex

Yes, I got it. Thank you!

wjdqjqj

Is it not released this month?

Yoink

I hope he is ok..... health is more important this virus sucks

segamex

Sorry everyone, this year a lot of bad things happened to me, and by the end of the year I was seriously ill and had to be hospitalized for a long time. I still carry my laptop and work in the hospital but it is time limited and doesn't work as well as a PC so progress is slow. My illness has turned out much better, I need 2 more days to get out of the hospital and get stable again. About new build, it won't take too long to get ready. I promise, next year's builds will be updated steadily and with more content to make up for this year's losses. Sorry :(

Saryx

troublesome indeed but its going to be a full year since the last game update with the 15th of this month just as a little reminder but anyway get well soon and a happy new year

segamex

Thank you! Happy New Year.

segamex

Yes, I have described them in past years posts, so there are few posts already, they are already posted and I need to finish them first (Sweat). Summary, it will be an update adding the main content, the 3rd new dungeon. With new monster girls, more h-scenes, new weapon, new ai system, other small things,...and a major tweak to make later new builds easier to add. Hope it helps you to understand the upcoming content!

Saryx

as long as it takes to be finished would i say so it might be better not to expect/depend on any exact time schedule for that though because that dont really worked out in the old year either as you can see

FunkGoner

You tell me why I sponsor the Author

Saryx

so does everyone able to leave a comment here

Saryx

hey how are you doing?

Bruh

i know how much work goes into making games/mods. I'm not familiar with Unity, but i'm familiar with blender and work closely with people who use UE. The most tedious and time-consuming thing is to bugtesting/optimizing the game. So i do have alot of respect for you too sort out this kinda stuff so it will be easier to update the game. Then again, it would be nice to have weekly updates or at least every other week to tell us about what you are doing. what kinda problems you're running into etc. I know that i would like those kinda updates since i can learn or take something from it (if you wanna share behind the scene stuff). and people who aren't interested in the technical stuff would still be reassured to see some progress. Keep up the good work! and i hope you're feeling well ;3

segamex

Sorry for late! I'm re-editing and optimizing dungeon 3, it works fine when running independently, but when I build it with main content it takes up a lot of memory which causes lag. Dungeon 3 and the content on the island are 2 separate scenes, so it should be well optimized so that the transition will not lose performance. The original plan was to finish it before the wedding day, but not in time, so I thought it took a week to get ready for the wedding. Now I can focus completely on my work!

segamex

Yes, I got it. Thank you!

Saryx

well dungeon 3 almost seems like its own little world with all the water in addition to all the different monsters after all and thanks for the detailed answer

RageEevee

how are you feeling any better?
