Elemental World Part 1: Rise of the Guardians
Small update on progress
This week been busy doing training rl so things been abit slower progressing but the new server software is intergrated to the game and the database and such is being set up now. Small issue with the software updating keeps crashing the game from low memory errors but it should be done soon then servers will be updated in next few days hopefully depening how long the build takes.
Also the other day had a network go down my end but server was rebooted and should be up now.
PArt the steam sale and server updates coming
So i am in the process of updating them and aim to have new servers up by next week.
The downside is due to big version differance in code the addons to original code also need updating and this could take upto end next month but it shouldnt stop the base rpg stuff and nice views/chat it will mostly effect resorce gathering horse/mount breeding daily gift etc.
Also if anyones intrested the game is currently half off during steam sale. It be a big help if people share the game if people like it or want faster development as solo work slow and grindy atm so being able to hirer a networker/coder to set up base or someone to just spend few hours making base quests will make things faster.
Also for anyone intrested in the single player game The Sacrifice im still learning the code creation for basic system but UI and basic roughing out done :)
Servers down fixing asap
Edit 13/6
I set them up again but still some issues so going to try a new server software which will hopefully work better as its more to original/demo
Also rebuilding base system so might lose some features temp untill i can hire a coder full time
Small update
Just a reminder if you find any issues with the game such as exe not working just put a message in the forum i check it now and then and ill try get it fixed rather then bad review to find out there an issue :)
On other note im currently considering the standard mmo f2p model so game will go free but then charge for dlc/items or player ran servers like games like ark and keep reduced price
Update on progress 14/4
Second im switching back to this for abit to add in quests and such since i been down with likly covid last 3 weeks (bad flu dizzy etc) so should be enough of rechanrge to go abit more and atleast get second map up and running to basic (this more a social mmo then hack and slash one like some you might just like the nice views and use it as background while chat etc while otehr might be explorers etc)
And last is just noticed server went down at some point due to windows auto reset/update but i fixed it and should be back up.
Update on whats happening
First is the games next update delayed alittle from planned as updates to server systems coming at same time but ill try get some minor content added and uploaded soon but atm my depression and mental burnout happening so everything slowing down. Server still up so everyone can play the latest version that was uploaded but still unsure if its got any bugs.
On another note gonna use existing code to try start to block out my "new" game The sacrifice which a reboot of an old game. hopefully this is enough of a change to kick me back to normal.
For anyone playing this game feedback is handy to get so i know whats working or if server not showing etc so i can fix it.
The goal is to have a minor content update by the end next month (quests,more resorce nodes/npcs,craftables/monsters)
Update to branches
I made a second branch for before this update for those that having issues with the new one so they can roll back and continue on local
Update 22/12
my pc was having issues switching builds (pc->mac->linux) so i uploaded the latest version as windows only while mac and linux built i will hopefully have these versions up by tomorrow (mac just finished and linux in process of swapping)
For those wanting to test the new server/play on global server which is set up now the test version is in test branch of the build. you can access this by opening propotys on steam and its in beta tab.
once tests are done this will be moved to main branch too.
Also as the game is part of winter sale its half off.If you have any issues with the server or no server showing up on the new build just let me know in forums etc and ill try set it back up or fix the issue (its on a second pc so windows 10 might force a reset due to an update and i not realised)
Update on progress and the sale
I decided to change the starter town from 3 buildings and a market to more a town and due to acidentally dleteing the folder with quests and npcs in im remaking them. It should be done and uploaded for tonight for the games 50% discount starting tomorrow which will hopefully mean basic server up tomorrow although will be on test branch for day or two to test if it works as intended it should work fine but any issues just post them to forum or message and ill try get a patch ready asap
Update 22/12 00:23 :
Just finished updating quests and items doing test build and planning upload in next few hours which should be live just before sale starts
Update 3:39am:
Server having some troubles working due to ports/setup so ill be uploading it but only active on test branch to see if it just a double port so crashing connection or if it a server issue but hopefully eather way will be fixed by end of year
News 17/12
First off good news the server i brought has been set up and is working with the game so i can now make game servers so now im working on fixing the bugs caused when i switched server software.
I will also be adding some new towns and npcs fixes into the server with the goal of end of year main things all live and working.
In the meantime i will be likly adding a working build in next week or two to test branch connecting to new server to test mp and make sure the abilitys etc work.
Ontop of the server working i also brought new assets in the unity end of year sale for making more uniform towns and castles plus some enviroment things for my dungeon kit so i can make more dungeon styles.
Ontop this is a scifi and cyberpunk themed stuff which will be for the high tech areas (where players can learn cars,bikes etc craftables rather then the more low tech harnesses,magic side etc)
The new castle/town which wil be implimented as an area (purple broken fire material fixing atm):
