Floofs, QoL, Rain, Settings!
Added 2024-10-16 19:35:17 +0000 UTCI've focused on some quality of life changes recently, and with the v0.0.3 update, playtesters can now set and save their controls, as well as audio and basic video settings.
Auto-run was another feature, common in MMOs like WoW where you run forwards by pressing numlock/insert until you take over the control yourself. You can use the camera rotation to control the direction whilst auto-running. Another MMO-like feature is holding left + right mouse buttons to run forwards. I found this is something I use quite a bit in short bursts, usually when going around hub towns.
I finally got rain collision in, so the rain doesn't go straight through the boat. There are checks over time to trigger weather effects, though only rain and clear settings occur. Playtesters can toggle through weather settings too.
I've also started improving bits by introducing 'tutorial-like' quests to teach the player how things work. For instance, on the boat players will notice that there is a quest to take which teaches them how to pick up items.
And finally Floofs are a new enemy type in the video! But not in the current playtest version. I want to populate the starter areas with cool basic enemy types for newbies to grind or practice their skills on.
Progress continues, and thank you to everyone supporting Memora Wanderer!
