Dev Diary #9

Hello! Welcome back, to the Ninth instalment of the Dev Diary Series! It has been a great Month and a bit! I have been able to achieve a lot more with the games development and I cant wait to show you what progress I have made.

Lets get a move along shall we?

The Plan

To begin I want to tell you some of my plans for Levi Chronicles & Atmosphere Studio. Over the next coming weeks work on a Website will be created for Atmosphere Studio. This will help streamline information on the game and its development much better and in a more universal location for everyone to access.

The Website will also have other uses in the future, but as for now it will be a basic start. Lets move onto The Inner Engine section of the Dev Diary!

The Inner Engine

Work on Chapter 2, Commissions and Chapter 1 has been the Major Focus of the last month.

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

To start us off we will go through the changes to Chapter 1. Majority of changes to Chapter 1 have been Fixes to Bugs people have experience. Some of the multiplayer code has been rewritten to help those who were having high ping while playing.

Chapter 1 has also had some Lighting Changes for the Multiplayer and Single-player to help replicate the same lighting across the Chapters. The Adjustments were minor but make a big difference.

Another few changes that were added was a new Checkpoint to start at called "Fast Start" for those friends who want to Skip the tutorial and get straight into the game.

I have a few Images here to show you the current changes to Chapter 1 Visually. Hope you enjoy! :)

Commissions

The work on Commissions is in full swing! Work on characters models and Character Customisation is in development currently as well as character animations and movement systems. This Process requires a lot of fine tuning.

The new Characters I'm creating for commissions are more complicated then the previous models so it has taken me A LOT more time then expected. This has slowed down the work on Commission Skill sets.

Here is a couple of Sample images of the work being done!

Chapter 2 - The Hunt

The Work on chapter 2 is very steady. The Music Department is currently the most active but the story and script work is most required and has been getting work every now and then...

For now ill keep this side of the Dev Diary a little secretive... ;)

The Pipeline

Im going to sum up this part of the Dev Diary to keep it simple. It will be done when its done. But in all seriousness. With my current work and progress on the game is going way slower then expected... I haven't had much free time to be able to catch up on the work. I promise though im trying my best and I will have this in your hands as soon as I can! :)

Lets move onto the more Spicier part of this Dev Diary!

The Community... See the Future

Through the month, the community has been very active! I have Loved watching all of you play the game and enjoy the experience! Its so much fun when you and your friends try to solve puzzles together.

If anyone of you would like to view some of the streams Ill be leaving them here for you to check out!

Though the game has had it bugs it certainly is fun to watch! Especially when the team goes a little crazy! But a suggestion is to "Paint it" to help solve it ;)

Best community content I've seen haha!

I have really loved watching these streams! and I hope to see more!!!! I shall call it there. Thanks for coming along for this Dev Diary. I hope you all enjoy and I cant wait to give you more!
