Demon Tale March Update
Added 2024-03-04 19:42:02 +0000 UTCAfternoon!
In this month's update I've added a few more mechanics to the combat, as well as a rudimentary health and stamina bar that will be replaced with something better looking at a later time.
-Chomper has their initial grab now. They should grab you occasionally, especially if you stand near them without doing anything. There are three stages to their grab, affected by stamina.
-Concerning the UI, running out of health will send you back into the castle. You are disallowed from getting up from a knockdown if your stamina bar is not full. Attacks drain stamina, as well as getting hit. Spamming the attack button drains stamina really fast, and stamina now affects the rate at which you're knocked down.
-Chomper can now chomp you while you're down. Watch that stamina, or you'll end up giving your opponent free hits.
I implemented the basic spawning mechanic. I was planning to have the faction and targeting system running, but I didn't quite get it in yet. However, Dryad is primed and ready as you can see in the pictures. She'll be in there by next update.
Files have just been sent out. If you missed files this month, you can catch them again next month.

2024-03-07 11:31:29 +0000 UTCI haven't gotten to solving this yet I'm afraid. Perhaps there is some plugin or driver you can download that will translate the input from a PS controller for the time being?

2024-03-05 14:22:12 +0000 UTCIs there a "reset" button? I did not seem to be sent back to the castle at 0 stamina. I guess on that note, how does one escape when being grabbed? I use logitech F310 controller and had zero issues with the controls.

2024-03-04 22:52:15 +0000 UTCI would like to once again bring to your attention that PS controllers don’t work properly with this game. Or maybe it’s just my controller, but it works fine with all my other steam games. So idk if it’s the game not set for PS controller, or my controller specifically has an issue. Left joystick only work to move right/left, not forward/backward. Right joystick only adjust the view right/left too. Right joystick functionality to adjust view up/down seems to be placed on L2 key. When L2 is not pressed, view rotate upward and downward all the way in 360 degrees over and over again. And when I press L2, it simply rotate in the other side. I have to balance L2 in the middle as half pressed to negate rotating views up/down. It’s completely unplayable with my controller. I hope you can resolve this issue before I cave in and get me Xbox controller since that is what you said you use.
