Wind Carrier, Alpha 31.7.19

Hello all!


I only managed to get the creature and enemies that I spoke of last week up and going - the transformation card will be finished for next week.

Not a ton of other changes; it was hot as hell here this last week and I had trouble focusing on anything for more than a few minutes at a time.


Changelog


Enemy Updates:

-Added Roura
-Large terrestrial bird
-Doesn't spawn normally, spawns occasionally in a swarm of minor creatures by the same name


Bug Fixes:

-Fixed a visible hitbox for the Ilhkor'sei
-Fixed a few bugs with the new skill menu



A male Roura with a group of smaller females. 
The roura are a common sight in Goldrath, found from the west coast all the way to the edges of the great desert that lies in the east. The female roura pose no threat to anyone, but the larger, more vibrant males are very territorial and will attack intruders on sight. 
The Zin'ahlope learn from a young age how to transform into the creatures. They themselves are quite slow, being barely taller than most other sjjena's waists, but with their mastery of transformation magic, the Zin'ahlope can pose a large threat indeed.

The male roura spawns in a different way than most enemies do; it spawns from the spawning of the female minor creatures. It ends up with them spawning in surprising places. I found it rather interesting myself - I may just have to play around with unconventional spawning more in the future.


Anywho, until next time,

  1. Hello there.

    I just managed to find this blog from Itch.io. If I may ask, is this project still ongoing? I've been unable to find a location to try out your newest alpha builds, and the Itch.io site seems to be down.

    1. As of some time ago, Wind Carrier has been shelved. I came to the realization that this game was going to take another 5+ years to complete as this type of game is simply not the kind that a (mostly) single person can finish in a timely manner. I am, however, hopeful that one day, when we can hire a small studio, Wind Carrier will finally get finished.
      We are currently working on something else that is not ready for the public eye, but I will probably announce it here and on our Facebook page when it is ready to be seen.
