Elemental World Part 1: Rise of the Guardians
New patch went live
(just a quick basic gather herbs and make a potion and food) + rough directions
It also fixed some minor bugs such as real time attack not working and tposing on horse etc
(i messed up the code slightly so it was looking for combat skill in "skills" not "survival" tab so it auto missed the attack meaning went to 0 but should be fixed now)
As far as i know this should have fixed most major bugs that are known and now it will be minor ones and upgrading the tutorial,story and item list but until i can afford staff probally alot of items wont be properly rigged/visable eg bronze item will look same as iron only stats diff on player/icon but ill be fixing this asap
If this update has no major bugs the next one will hopefully be in a week or two and will probally be in a couple of weeks and link with a steam promo (shows on front page) new updated trailer and big sale to try give the game a good boost (hopefully all main races will be added in the next few months with hidden races later such as shark people,elementals etc)
Update 5/18
After testing the elfs had an issue but that is now fixed and uploaded and the tutorial/starter quests are being made currently these will give the starter spells and teach basics as when its ready the starter test spells will no longer be given by default (although most will be easy to get such as go talk to x,bring y 1 z etc)
There is still some minor bugs/fixes that should be fixed soon but nothing major such as spelling errors equipment in wrong position/angle etc
Also with the money finally in from the last sale i brought some new monsters and items such as mimics for dungeons,plant monsters and amulet/rings etc for crafting.
I will probally be doing another sale when the tutorial is ready and everything mostly bug free in the quest line so everyone can get the starter stuff/equipment and start exploring fine.
The maps are also coming along and will be added soon
Update 5/2/2019
Soon all starter spells that humans get by default will be replace by nothing and given out as quest rewards for the starter zone.
Also i hired someone to professionally make the world maps and they have done the large one (all sections of the world) as well as 1 contenent map for a closer view showing more towns,ruins,caves etc
I will be converting these maps into interactive maps once i learn the code to do it and this will have pins/markers showing towns,important zones etc
edit the change is causing issues so rolling back while i patch a fix
Also as player names changing from Hmale to HumanM etc it will " not find" the character so you will have an invisible avatar if you are online it a simple change but offline will need to remake player when patch goes in

Update 9/4/19
The human models became currupt in the update (my side) this just means i need to readd equipment manager and such again same for the elf models this shouldnt take too long on basics.
Also after feedback from testing some the deers etc have bugged so i will be removing/updating them
Likely there will be a seperate area for combat or just re add some new models.
I will also be starting a basic tutorial quest line or video to help new players get a handle on controls and such.
Elf models being added
The other races will be added later or as temp models but for now the elf race will be added/unlocked and added basic form (some armours/weapons wont be fully rigged etc
March 30th update
Weather has a chance to change every 5 mins
I also made weather volume down so crickets/bird linked to weather and rain not too loud (went from 1 to .1) so it makes it more background sounding.
Next up will be adding in music etc to the enviroment and quest hub decorating etc.
new mounts will also be added soon such as the magic tigers in screenshot
but before this i need a dismount/desummon added in but should be a quick thing
Update 27th march
It will also contain an update to make single player and multiplayer completely seperate as a bug was found of single player mode.
There will also be some minor cosmetic changes like main menu music but the next patch should just be some minor update sort.
Next up the quest hub will be updated with funiture/npcs as well as a tutorial added in game to help players not be too lost when starting
Mini update march 23rd
So far the sales are going well enough that i should get paid this month from steam :) (they have a min of $100 owed before a payout) so assuming that happens ill be using those funds to try get some more models or hire someone to write quests for me depending what feedback i get.
Twitch has also now accepted my game and developer status so the game is now live and i can now get stats on it being streamed add box art (just added some) and enable drops so people who watch the stream can win in game items (before i set it up i need to learn about how it works) Also im not sure how youtubes system works but its also on there list of games for people to add in game section of there videos/streams (i dont get stats on that but youtube auto makes playlists based on games)
edit 24th:
After some feedback i found my quest system broke due to the core upgrade that deals with convos/quests im trying to fix/update it now and should be done in around a week assuming it an easy fix
update 20th march
Quit button added to options menu
Options menu reenabled
Options menu buttons labeled
Run now toggle not hold
Ai fixed so they now die
Core system updated so there maybe some minor issues with craft/shops but it should be fine
