Alpha soooon! Seriously though, It's pretty much ready to go. I'm going to wait to release until after Christmas in the hopes that it will get me more feedback :D. If you would like to be part of the private alpha (and you haven't already) let me know. I'll add you to the list!

Grave Complex - Misc 016 (Bag Slots, Buffs, Quality Settings)

No comments

Added a number of new features this week. Still self-testing the game at this point, the game needs some more 'towers' to make it a tower defense game but it's progressing well.

Grave Complex - Misc 014 (More Skills!)

No comments

A lot on the go. Several bugs fixed, several bugs introduced :S. Most of those introduced are because of the new skills system which is coming along very nicely as this video suggests.

Grave Complex - Misc 013 (Chickens / UI)

No comments

Mostly UI work this week (I'm not fast at making UI...), also added chickens, fixed a number of bugs (no more infinite zombie spawns). Larger tasks left: Still need to add the 'quest giver' Skills / leveling need to be hooked up and tuned The rest of the tasks on my list should be quick, bug fixes, small additions or tasks left for another version.

Grave Complex - Misc 012 (SKILLS, UI and ZOMBIES, oh my)

No comments

Busy week this week. Added in the skill system (actually skills yet to come), added in armor based skill buffs (shoes make you run faster). Fixed zombie pathing near barricades and through angled barricades. My TODO list is shrinking. The launch of Grave Complex Alpha is fast approaching. Be sure to send me your emails if you want to test the game out! First test will be for android devices.

Tower Defense #1 is in! Protect the meteor to get the opportunity to mine the resources from it. Only a little bit of work left to do on this and the event system in general then on to a character / skill system.

Grave Complex - Construction 005 (UI + Special Containers)

No comments

I don't tend to think about all the back-end work required to bring a game like this together... however putting these videos out has really shown me how much of the work that I do is strictly in behind the scenes lol.

I try to show something new off each week but it should be very interesting when I get the back-end work wrapped up. Content should be added very quickly at that point :)

Grave Complex - Construction 011 (Base Loading on Endless Map)

No comments

Adding a large feature like an endless map has it's drawbacks when developing such a game like Grave Complex. It means I have to handle a lot of extra 'what if' scenarios. Like what if the base goes off the loaded chunks? Will it load back correctly? Guess we'll find out!

Grave Complex - Exploration 005 (No more boundaries!)

Added in an endless map. I'm still debating it's merits but I think it's a better than having transitions. I'm a little concerned about what it will do to the gameplay. I do hope it will be a viable feature.

Grave Complex - Exploration 004 (Random Battleaxe?)

It's dangerous to go too far... but what if you randomly find a battleaxe? Anyway, looting is now easier.

 Weapons break well. Getting very close to starting an pre-alpha test. The first test is going to be limited to a small set of people. Please let me know if you would like to help shape the way the game is going and I'll get you in on the test. Thanks!

Mostly back-end work this week but I've added searchable objects to the game.

Swapped the FOV indicators for a more mobile friendly auto-aim feature. Just aim in the roughly the right direction and it will do the rest.

 Additionally I added a roll action for more mobility.

Taking a small break from Forge On for a while. Started up something new!  I will still be working on Forge On but in a limited capacity; it has worn me out these last couple months.

Some time away will hopefully give me some perspective on where I want Forge On to go!
