Our weekly feature updates may be less frequent now, as we focus on optimization and systems testing, but we’ll continue to provide updates where possible. This week, we’ve replaced and optimized our environment lighting. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We've continued building out our ranged combat by improving arrow physics and flight effects, integrating ranged weapons into our inventory system, and implementing stance swaps between bow and melee combat #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We've started working on our ranged combat systems, beginning with Archery. It's still pretty raw, but here's a sneak peak at the type of 3rd-person, aimed systems we're working to bring to DTN. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We've added our 3rd player character race, the Half-Orc. We've implemented the first iteration of both male and female Half-Orc through our character creator and into the full game loop. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We've continued our implementation of the Alfar race as player characters, including our first iteration of a female player character! Big props to @DtnScribbles getting these new custom models game ready! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

LIVE 🔴twitch.tv/wadeacuff Working on the @DefendTheNight banner tonight! Join us for a good time and some laughs!

Weekly Update: We've started implementing our second player character race, the Alfar. We're also testing out an over-the-shoulder camera option for those that enjoy more of the adventure-style, 3rd person perspective. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We got some of the staff together for some internal testing of all of the new content updates from the past few months. Found some new bugs to squash, but really happy overall with the recent progress. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We continued to add new content to the Skimmer's Cove, including the surroundings of the deserted village of Essendale, new NPCs, and new NPC abilities. Our bugs also claimed their first unsuspecting casualty. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

@DMHarms Both! We were testing chaining together multiple steps, but those steps can also diverge to different outcomes based on player decisions.

@DefendTheNight Solid! Multi-branch as in several steps or several possible outcomes?

Weekly Update: We implemented a basic Merchant and Currency system, allowing NPC merchants to actually sell items from a randomized set of level appropriate gear. We also added multi-branch and counter style quest support. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

We are live on Twitch in a few minutes at twitch.tv/alovingrobot Come hang out!

@Prime18278443 Soon👍

@DefendTheNight But can you fish

Weekly Update: We added new sky, weather, and ocean systems, and we've implemented basic dialogue and quests. Expect more meaningful questing than basic kill/fetch tasks in DTN, but these are good first tests. More to come! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We've implemented a supply route system between points of interest, allowing NPCs to mount up and move goods. Some will patrol the road on horseback, and others will operate and protect the lootable wagons. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: We added an open world mount system and did some initial testing by stealing horses from the new 'Serpent's Den' area, an imposing outpost and supply line for the Seditious Sanctum's 'Black Serpents' clan #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming

Weekly Update: More work on our starting areas as we updated and tested points of interest around the Skimmer's Cove zone, including the entrance to the Seditious Sanctum dungeon, and we added several new NPC variants. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #MMORPG #indiedev #gaming
