Elemental World Part 1: Rise of the Guardians

Update soon

Quick message to say in the next day or two an update will happen to try fix the issue i found while streaming the game such as missing colliders as well as the new file size
Worst case is this update will take few extra days due to slow build speed

Update on the optimizing

Quick post to let people know about the optimizing going on right now.
Im continuing with image optimizing compressing the file sizes down an example is an 8MBfile gets compressed to .5 without noticable change meaning when the game gets uploaded next it will hopefully be around 5-8GB instead of its current 11.

The next one or two updates of the game will likely just be optimizing and balance sorts then next content will be elf race and adding more armour etc as well as hopefully updated AI+ loot tables but this probally wont be till the start of next year


edit 1:
Textures have all been reduced to basic HD (1024) doing a test build as is reduced the file size to 9.4GB from 11.5ish it currently is. Next step is audio to try reduce more.

Update 22 dec

Hi quick update message to say the game is on sale for the winter sales as well as i just uploaded an update which should mean all armour is properly linked so will show as well as lower texture sizes (some 4k resolution but this has been shrunk to 1024 which doesnt seem to change quality noticably) This change has already shaved 2 GB of install size and i will be editing more later the goal is keep overall size under 10GB.

Also a tip/note to people that buy the game to reach the new raid zone where new trailer and images on the page is from the hidden vally level to reach it just take the teleport in the spawn town.
For monster "heavy" free roam zone visit snow lands, mage island for semi heavy monsters of golems and haunted town for small explore map.

Plans for the next month

Hi quick post to say what the plans for the next month or two are

First the game will be on sale very soon so it would be a big help if you spread the word about the game as right now its only word of mouth marketing.

The next point is i recently brough modular armour for the players from the same creator as the current player models so i will be adding the new armours in soon. The creator is also making some elf models which i will likely buy as there also modular like the humans so will save alot of time and money then getting another modeler to create new ones from scratch.

This hopefully means in the next month Elf race will be unlocked and added as well as alot of new armour with ranging designs from chain to leather.

I am also reducing texture sizes where i can for now to save disk space user side but this shouldnt be to noticeable its mostly changing 2048 textures down to 1024 but should still keep the same nice look on textures until i can combine textures better (so 5 large textures on 1 compressed big one)

I also noticed i forgot to link the equipment manager to the new armour so players wont show armour while equiped but this will be fixed soon.

edit: i will be adding the new armour tops to the game but they wont be rigged properly to the model until later around the time of when elfs get released so they can be rigged to elfs too

Update on whats happening with the game

Hi a quick update on whats happening at the min with the game is im looking at ways to decrese the file size where i can alot of the size seems to be textures an example is:
1 GB models
1 GB scripts
1 GB sound
8GB textures etc

Hopefully with some tweeking of sizes etc i can get this down saving space long run
