May 24 Elemental Accumulation - Weekly Devlogs
New customization options and alchemical research.
I'm moving towards a slightly different system for research, where instead of dictating what you need to craft to research new recipes, you can choose and experiment with whatever you can find. So now whenever you break down an item on the Alchemy Table you gain a certain amount of elemental energy that's displayed on the screen. It can't be used yet (next week's update), but you can accumulate it now so you'll have a nice cache to work with for the next update.
The customization options are back in with the new character model. You can adjust all sorts of new things too with chest and belly sliders, cheeks, ears, nose, chin, and mouth which allows for a wide range of different body and face shapes
Patch Notes * Breaking down new items at an Alchemy Table will now give you different elemental energy which is displayed on the Alchemy screen * Added instructions to alchemy bench * Added effect for drowning * Added customize slider for eyebrow rotation, eyebrow size, mouth size * Added customization sliders for chin size, height, and depth * Added back in eye color and clothing color customization for new model
May 30 Elemental Research - Weekly Devlogs
Continuing from last week's update, the new research system is fully available!
Now in order to research new recipes, you break down new items on your Alchemy Table in order to get a certain amount of elemental research based on the item. Like a campfire will give you fire element, but it only works once per item so you'll need to find/craft new items to continue your research.
If you then open your Research screen in your Journal, you can choose new recipes to research like normal, but now you'll need to spend elemental research to unlock them instead. What are the benefits of this over the old way? Well first of all it's better usability/feedback, it makes more sense to push a button and spend a resource to have a thing happen. More importantly though, it lets you choose which items to break down and gives more control over which recipes to unlock. Instead of needing to fulfill a specific objective of "break down 3 scales and 2 logs" you can instead break down whatever you find or don't need anymore. So if you're playing as a pacifist farmer you don't need to go out and hunt Greks for specific recipes anymore. Likewise Huntmaster Dora that's 5km away from home doesn't need to return and water her strawberries for research components.
I'm also planning to add a small research minigame to the process as I polish and finalize.
June 6 Dark Portal - Weekly Devlogs
There's a new tier of research available with some new recipes.
One such item is the Astral Portal, which functions like the Astral Recall, but it allows you to return to where you were before recalling. Use once, return home, use again, return to where you were. Also since for the most part you'll want to break down an item once to get its elements, the Alchemy Table will now only break down 1 item in a stack and spit the rest out. The Collection Screen will also list an item's element once it's been researched so you can keep track of what you have or haven't researched yet.
With research being largely ready the only thing remaining systems-wise before I start doing big content pushes is the combat rework which I'm working on now.
Also the male model is almost ready to go
