Mystic Adventure Monday
Development of Santae's Mystic Adventure, an exciting upcoming game mode, is underway! Each Monday, we'll share development progress and sneak peeks at how the Mystic Adventure is progressing.
This week, some exciting updates to the environmental artwork -- and the programming that will make gameplay possible!
The tile art that forms the environment of Santae's Mystic Adventure has been revised by the art team for a less "boxy" look. We've also swapped out the placeholder character sprites with a replacement temporary sprite. Farewell stick figures, and hello Pipsqueak Wispyr!
We have also prepared the project for scenery and depth objects. This will allow the tokens to go in front of and behind scenery once it is added to the game!
Meanwhile, under the hood, work has begun on some of the base networking code so that we can develop the frontend and backend simultaneously.
We have also started programming interactivity to prepare for users to "roll a die" and then allow their player character to move around the board by the specified number of tiles.
The pieces are slowly but surely coming together for the basic elements that will make the gameplay and world of Santae's Mystic Adventure possible. Look forward to even more exciting news next Mystic Adventure Monday!
