AoA Weekly #8 - Stocking the Shop

This week has a bit of a small week. We had some personal troubles, with our father being very sick. He's in the hospital now, and no word on if he's doing any better.

addedThis is the final week for Unbranded Settlement touch ups, and we managed to fill Atisa's shop with all the items. The shop has about 15 different items, but it starts with 4. Each day that passes will have a new one revealed. We thought it'd be overwhelming to have them all at once.
changedWe also changed an Arkar NPC quest with Sightless. This will be interesting trivia one day for our biggest fans, but Sightless has been gutted from the main story, and relegated to a side story. A very mysterious side story.

addedAdded items to Atisa's shop 3 main quest items that can be steadily upgraded to legendary status. Each person in the Unbranded Settlement has offered their own item to sell. A charity thing, sort of. Each day, a new item will be revealed, so the player can feel power progression, and something new to look forward to. All the items are displayed on her shelves!

This week has a bit of a small week. We had some personal troubles, with our father being very sick. He's in the hospital now, and no word on if he's doing any better. On the game side, work cut out about halfway into the week.

This is the final week for Unbranded Settlement touch ups, and we managed to fill Atisa's shop with all the items. The shop has about 15 different items, but it starts with 4. Each day that passes will have a new one revealed. We thought it'd be overwhelming to have them all at once.

That's about it for this week, and next week might be light given the problems with our father currently. We'll see what it brings.

On to what we did this week:

  • Added items to Atisa's shop

    • 3 main quest items that can be steadily upgraded to legendary status.

    • Each person in the Unbranded Settlement has offered their own item to sell. A charity thing, sort of.

    • All the items are displayed on her shelves!

  • Created 15 new item cards

    • Drew them and their associated sprites, and hardcoded their special effects!

  • Gutted Sightless, and remade his quest

    • He's no longer at the entry to the Pools of Reflection

    • He'll no longer bug Xiaxen every day, asking how his lesson went

    • He has a dynamically updating quest, meaning he could run into you at the settlement at any time.
