I added a poisoned effect for the player.

I just realised I can change the damage type of my kicks if I want to... Leather Boots of Lightning Kick?

One moment please... Booting up the AI

Positioning will be key when fighting groups of monsters.

The smell of death surrounds me.

Babies first steps

Hair cards? Nah sack cloth cards.

Mum said its my turn on the xbox

Divine Wrath - This spell staggers your foes allowing you to close in with your mace.

First heavy spell done. What should I call it?

Lightning bolt Lightning bolt Lightning bolt

First pass on some wizard robes. Should I do pointy hat or nah?

Back to the shadows!

Hours of dev time are lost each day with my constant desire to dress up my little mans.

Starting work on catalysts today (offhand casting items), the first of which will be the clerics holy symbol.

Wands will be themed to their damage type such as the dark wand being a small scythe.

Multiplayer? No just some fakery... for now.

FromSoft made me dig mages that use bucklers.

👿 Dark Damage 👿 can roll on any weapon but may also be wielded through unholy prayers.

I love when games let you stack ☠️ Poison Damage ☠️

It just feels right to roll ✝️ holy damage ✝️ on a mace.

Wouldn't be an ARPG without fire damage now would it 🔥

❌ Zweihander ✅ Lightning Zweihander

The torch is now an offhand item giving the player a lighting alternative until they can aquire a belt lantern.

The best part about adding a pants slot is now you can do a shirtless build.

UI and Shader work, starting to really nail that D1 aesthetic.

Tooltips, derrived attribute highlighting, and leveling up. Never underestimate the amount of UI work that goes into a RPG.

Another UI pass and some new attributes. Starting to look more final.

I love visual progression in gear based games so here is a level 1 warrior starting with the humble sackcloth.

Started a pass on the more class specific gear such as the rogues cowl.

Did a basic pass on materials over the last few days, no more runescape vibes sorry.

He was just eating the cork in the last potion animation so I added a little cork flip (very cool)

glug, glug, glug

Throwing torches into the dark will be an invaluable tactic for illuminating what lurks in the shadows.

Added a simple physics force to items when your inventory is full, didn't realise this would introduce a tech deck mini game.

Torches will be an integral part of exploring the dark depths of the dungeon.

fireball, fireball, fireball

One of the more involved animations. Pretty happy with how the crossbow is coming along.

Built a dynamic bow string using two line renderers that track the nock of the arrow.

Finally onto ranged weapons.

Big bonker.

Might be a little too fast? First animation pass at everyones favourite big sword, the Zweihander.

Good time to be a flanged mace enjoyer.

Finally got around to animating these stabby boys ⚔️

Like being able to see your legs and kick enemies? This is the kind of cursed magic going on behind the scenes.

Instant Dark Messiah vibes when duel wielding Kriss daggers.

When tackling the idea of first person Diablo 1, I knew I would need some way of visualizing gear progression, so I have started working on a render of the players model.

Basic pass on first person animations.

A dungeon crawler is make or break based on the quality of its hats, and this is a winner.
