Welcome to Alpha 2.2 - 2nd April 2014

Brand new Jumping and better Climbing

We have completely re-written the auto jumping system in FTD and now guide the character when jumping to better ensure they get a proper landing - we have also re-done the jump and land animations and they look stacks better.

High Climbing has also been greatly improved in accuracy and clipping prevention.

Note: We still get occasions where a character doesn't jump off a tile when they should. It is much less frequent now, but it still does happen and we will continue to improve the jump detection in future builds until it is perfect.

New Props
We have added 2 new prop categories to the Static Prps toolbar:
FACADE A set of doors and windows that are attached to walls to make it look like a building.
INTERIORS A starting set of interior items like book shelves, tavern tables, toilet, fireplace etc...

Check out a screenshot here...
http://fightthedragon.com/images/showcase/New_Props_Alpha2.2.png

We will continue adding to these categories and making new categories in future builds.

New Difficulty Calculations
We have been revising our difficulty calculation system in the ACK to include some basic accounting for how the environment is sculpted as well as changing some thing around to help "a little" with exploits.

We strongly advise all that all creators reload their adventures and check them and re-publish.

Many of you may find that your adventures that were publishable before are no longer publishable now with the new calculations - So please adjust them.

New Reporting and Dashboard Data
We have now added information about the reporting and blocking state of all adventures to the ACK Dashboard, so all creators can see a realtime overview of the state of their adventures.

Having reports against your adventures doesn't mean your adventure is blocked from download. If it is blocked, it will show that in the dashboard ( currently with a one word with a one word description of why ). We will continue to improve this system to eventually allow creators to see the actual user reports for their adventures to better understand why they have been reported - That will come in a later date.

We also mark adventures that you do have on your map as blocked so they are no longer playable. In a future update we will have functionality to allow you to clear those map spots.

Creator Banning System
We now have the ability to ban creators from publishing. Creators that have multiple adventures blocked will now be at risk of being banned by us. If you are banned you see see a message on your creator dashboard.

We are going to be pretty aggressive with banning, and have already banned our first creator in less then a week from launch - be warned.

New
  • Added world map tile blocking for blocked adventures

  • Added a new creator leaderboard (only scrollable on mouse at the moment - sorry)
  • Added new creator rank info on creator dashboard

  • Reworked the high climb system

  • Added more check to ensure creators can't break the published adventure rules (going to be ongoing)
  • Lots of physics optimisation when doing heavy attacks

  • Removed help from bridges about being able to resize them as thats not possible anymore

Known Issues in this version
  • Controller mapping on Linux is still un-reliable (we are STILL working with Unity on this)

Welcome to Alpha 2.5 - 10th April 2014

New loot/gold distribution system

We've made substantial changes to our loot and gold distribution system, primarily to deal with exploit maps. You'll probably find that you'll receive slightly less loot overall, especially when playing on loot exploit maps. This is just a first pass, and we expect to be tweaking this a lot more in the future.

Loot distribution is now directly linked to enemies fought, so if you find your self not getting many loot drops, try and fight some enemies! This means that adventures with a substantial amount of chests at the start of the adventure won't drop as much loot, so keep that in mind when you're creating or updating your adventures.


Change to character rotation during attacking

A characters rotation can no longer be changed mid attack to help with target locking on enemies. Character rotation will adjust in-between attacks in a combo.


New player spawn marker feature

We have added the ability on the Player Spawn Marker to set the starting rotation for the characters and for the camera. To use, select the SPAWN entity from the menu and go to the marker in the adventure and you will see controls to set the rotations.


New Ability to override Adventure difficulty when publishing

Adventure creators now have the ability to override the difficulty setting for the adventure when they publish. This feature is being included because our auto detect system cannot always gauge how difficult a terrain layout is, so it can often mark it as an incorrect difficulty. Please don't abuse this and mark hard adventures easy ;)


Streamlined Prop tool bar and new variations system

With the constant addition of new props in each update, our toolbars were getting crazy, so we have re-designed how prop variations work. Now, if a prop has different variations, it will show you on the icon in the toolbar, with a count of how many variations.

When you place a prop, you can keep clicking (or pressing A) on that prop to cycle between each of the variations. Just leave the one you want and you are done.


Updated adventure indicator

We now mark each adventure on your world map that has been updated since you last started the game, so you can go and replay them if you wish. The indicators per adventure will only be visible for that session or until that adventure is updated again.


New Props
We have added a new prop category - MINES with a bunch of cool stuff included, as well as adding new stained glass windows to the facade category.

Check out a screenshot here...
http://fightthedragon.com/images/showcase/New_Props_Alpha_2.5.png

We will continue adding to these categories and making new categories in future builds.


Dragon Scrolls
We now only distribute Dragon Scrolls on first completion of any adventure, not every time you complete one.


Alpha 2.5 change list

Welcome to Alpha 2.7 - 12th April 2014

Important! Please read...
This is a quick update to address some Steam Cloud issues a few users have reported that caused them to lose their adventures they were working on in the ACK.

This update has some core changes in how we load and compare data between our cloud saves and local backups we always write. We have taken a lot of care to ensure no one looses any user created adventures with this update and have tested it on 3 accounts to ensure data integrity - but that said, sometimes things happen, so please contacts us immediately via the Steam Forum if you think anything weird has happened to your list of adventures you have created.

New
  • Added a new file versioning system between local backups and steam cloud to prevent badly synced steam cloud data from being used instead of newer local data

Changes/Improvements
  • Colour coded the shipping demo adventures in the file list in the ACK to make your own adventures stand out more

Fixes
  • Fixed a potential steam cloud save issue that *might* have caused some players to lose adventures they were creating :(
SeonR  [Entwickler] 16. Apr. 2014 um 21:58 
Welcome to Alpha 2.8 - 16th April 2014

Important: Publishing Bug
We think we have finally tracked down and fixed a bug that would sometimes publish the saved state of an adventure, rather than the current state of an adventure. So if you loaded an adventure, made changes and then published without saving first, sometimes it would send the older version instead of the new version.

Can everyone please load, check and re-publish their adventures to ensure players have the latest and possibly un-broken version of your adventure.


Updated Character Class Stats
We have updated all of the per class stats (visible on the character creation screen), including adding a new speed stat. Please review these changes to understand the differences between classes.


New Class : Ice Wizard!
We are happy to announce that our Ice Wizard class is now ready to play. We didn't want to delay this class any longer, but keep in mind this is just a first pass - meaning we will be changing and improving the special abilities over future updates (as with all of our classes).


Important: Class Diversity
Diversity of our classes has been brought up many times on the forums, so I want to address it here.

We agree that our classes need more diversity and that is something we plan to address in future updates. It is by design that all classes can use all weapon types and we don't have plans to change that at the moment.

We will however have modifiers on loot that are class specific. This loot can be equipped on any class, but only the right class will get the benefits from the class specific modifiers. As we develop the classes more we will start introducing these new modifiers.

Continued work on all of our existing classes and new ones is an ongoing thing for us, like all of our game features, where things will evolve over time.


Alpha 2.8 change list

New
  • New Ice Wizard class
  • Added more audio-fx to various things ( a constant work in progress )

Welcome to Alpha 2.9 - 17th April 2014

Update Slow down over Easter holidays
So Easter is upon us and both Jarryd and Ari are taking some well deserved time off over the next 2 weeks, so updates will be less often, though we do have stuff scheduled so everyone will still get new goodies to play with at least on the ACK side.

We wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holidays (Easter, Passover or whatever holiday you might be celebrating).

Happy Holidays Everyone!


7000 building points
We have lifted building points to 7000. Just a heads up that this is as high as we are planning to go for the foreseeable future. We have played enough user adventures that last for 25-30 mins to be convinced that this is as high as we need to go to ensure we stay inside the aim for FTD - short play sessions.


Alpha 2.9 change list

New
  • Lifted building points to 7000
  • Added the adventure name, owner and UGC badge to game pause screen
  • Added new "YOUR ADVENTURE" tag to map, loading and pause screen

  • Allow binding of COMMAND keys on OSX.

  • Fixed a few loot items that were not using correct visuals when equipped on female characters
SeonR  [Entwickler] 25. Apr. 2014 um 0:51 
Welcome to Alpha 3.0 - 23rd April 2014

New Camera Auto-Pitch System
We have implemented a new camera pitch system that will auto adjust the camera pitch when the player gets obscured by the land tiles in an adventure. You can turn this into manual mode in the game settings panel in the menu.

Auto (or manual) pitch only works in adventures, not in the menu or in dragon fights.


New Sculpting modes - Poison and Mud
We have added new sculpting modes like our water and lava.
POISON - Players that move over these tiles get poisoned for 3 seconds at a time.
MUD - Players get slowed down when they move over these tiles. Enemies don't :-)

We have also altered how Lava works... Lava now sets players on fire for 3 seconds at a time.


Extra sculpting height and increased per material tile counts
Now that we have a way of helping players from being obscured by tall environments, we've increased the sculpt height by another full tile.

We've also increased the per material tile count from 1200 to 1350 (a small but useful amount) and we've also fixed the grass materials being hooked into the dirt, so you can now paint grass with 3 grass types, each with 1350 tiles.


New rules for placing enemy spawn markers
You can no longer place enemy spawn markers on any tile other than land tiles. All creators should re-check all adventures and move any enemies onto land tiles or hey will auto-die on game start.


New desert materials
We've started adding new desert styled materials to the paint system (sand, bricks etc) so that creators can start making desert themed adventures. We still have lots more to add to this category plus more props that suit a desert theme (rocks etc) but it's a start.


New EXTERIOR props category and more INTERIOR props
Speaks for itself... check them out, lots of cool goodies in there like beds, arches, mushrooms, um... lots.


Auto download missing adventures from world maps when switching machines
We've spent a lot of time in this build implementing the ability to download missing adventure data on your world map for those that play on multiple machines. On first launch of the game it will check everyone's data integrity and from then onwards it will only check when it detects you are on a different machine than the last launch.

We'd love feedback about this from players that switch between multiple machines :-)


Alpha 3.0 change list

New
  • Added new AUTO & MANUAL camera pitch ability
  • Lifted sculpting height by 1 full tile
  • Added new MUD sculpt mode
  • Added new Poison sculpt mode
  • More moveable barrels and a bunch more destructible vases
  • Added new desert paint materials

  • Added 5 more destructible vases
  • Added world map data integrity check
  • Added a bunch of new INTERIOR props
  • Added a bunch of new EXTERIOR props
  • Added GAMMA setting in Graphics settings in menu
  • Added new colour code and legend to server ping times to indicate which will have more network lag

Changes/Improvements
  • Increased per material painting from 1200 to 1350 tiles.
  • Increased painting with water/lava/poison/mud from 3000 ties to 4000
  • Decoupled grass from dirt, so now you can paint up to 3950 tiles of grass (using 3 grasses)
  • Lava now sets player on fire and does damage over time
  • Added UI indicator for fire damage over time
  • You can no longer keep changing your adventure rating after you set/change it at the end of an adventure, until the next play of that adventure.
  • If an enemy with a key has a spawn place in water and dies, the key is automatically assigned to the player, rather than being dropped where the enemy spawned inside the water.

Fixes
  • Fixed ability for second player in local co-op to drop in before first player, breaking everything.
  • Fixed a few broken instances where objects where not destroyed properly between adventures
  • Fixed music not resetting to correct volume when switching between menu/adventure/dragon arena and back

Welcome to Alpha 3.1 - 24th April 2014

We know everyone is playing Dark Souls II - but we though we'd push a small but awesome update out anyway, in time for the weekend :-)

Improvements to the Inventory System
We have added 2 new features to the Inventory system...
1. New items now have a green [+] on them to indicate which are the new items you haven't looked at yet.
2. Weapons now have a 1 or 2 hand Icon on the details card so you know if you will have access to your shield or not when equipping it.


New 2 handed GreatSwords!
We have added 5 new 2 handed GreatSwords to the weapon mix that activate when your character reaches level 12. These new weapons are big and have a new set of attacking animations - and they look AWESOME!


Alpha 3.1 change list

New
  • Show [+] on new items in your inventory
  • New 1 and 2 handed weapon icons on inventory details
  • New 2 handed GreatSwords (more to come in future updates)
  • Added new UI scaling slider to the Graphics Settings in the menu ( let us know if there are any weird side effects please )
  • Added some rugs to the interior props area (more variations on the way)
  • Added additional Broken Arch prop to the variations available

Changes/Improvements
  • Doors that require a key now flash their key icon on top of the door to make it clearer which key is required (as well as the key flash on the UI)
  • Destructible props no longer collide with Characters to stop them from occasionally propelling your character off the level
  • Character names can now be 3 chars instead of minimum of 4 chars.
  • Added more bad words to the profanity detection system
  • Fixed broken WELL prop (now has water) and added a new mud variant

Fixes
  • Fixed issue when a new character created during player 2 drop in would rename player 1's character by mistake
SeonR  [Entwickler] 5. Mai 2014 um 23:08 
Welcome to Alpha 3.2 - May 5th 2014

New Unity Engine version
We have moved to a new version of Unity (the game engine we use for FTD) and we have not experienced any issues so far, but keep an eye out for any weirdness please and report to us if you see anything like video driver issues or crashes.


New ALT Weapon Inventory Item
We have added a new Inventory slot called ALT where you can select a second weapon that you can use to hot-swap during gameplay. Controls for hot-swapping are [~] on KB (bindable) and RB + Y on Controller.


New Crossbow ( first player ranged weapon )
We have finally added our first player ranged weapon - The Crossbow - that allows player to shoot short ranged bolts at enemies from a safe distance. The Crossbow also has a directional heavy attack that shoots a spray of bolts.

This is just a very early pass on the Crossbow, but it's lots of fun to use and really mixes combat up quite a bit.


New NPC UI and skins
We have re-implemented our NPC system to allow for different NPC skins as animation sets (Sad, Angry etc.. ) including a new UI panel. The original NPC we shipped is still in there as the default skin so no ones adventures will break.

We have also added a new Sign Post NPC (different Entity button) that allows a non-character message to be placed in game - This panel can only have 1x 140 char chunk of text.


New Creator FOLLOW button
We have added a new button on the Game Over screen where you can start "following" creators you like, based on the adventures you play. Right now we are using this to collect data and so you can prepare your follow lists so when we add the Adventure Gallery, you'll be able to search based on the creators you are following.

We encourage everyone to start following the creators you like now.


Network aware Chests
We have finally made all chests in FTD network aware for online games. What this means is that if player 1 opens a chest on his machine, that chest is open on all players machines, but the loot or items we drop from the chests is still local and specific to the character level like it is now.

This also means that if you join an adventure late, any chests that were opened before you joined will be open already, but you will get no loot or items from them.

Welcome to Alpha 3.4 - 10th May 2014

So this update took a bit longer than we hoped, but here it is - Enjoy!

Start of our Class Diversification Process
We have spent a loooooong time this update re-implementing how classes work in FTD to allow for much more class diversity - something everyone has been asking for.

We have added the following changes to how classes work:
  • Weapons are now class specific. Mages now can't use 2 handed weapons or crossbows, but now have new 2 handed magical staff weapons that only they can use.
  • Weapons and loot now have class specific modifiers. Items with class specific modifiers don't prevent the item being used on other classes (if it is an item that class can use) but the class specific modifier won’t work.
  • New heavy attacks per class with different strategies in their use
  • Each 2 handed weapon has it's own unique heavy attack

Note: If you already have an item equipped on your character that is restricted for your class, we won’t remove it, but if you ever remove it yourself, you won’t be able to re-equip it again. We did this so we didn’t have to stomp your character data!

So this is just the start of what we are doing to diversify the classes. We have more planned that we will include in future builds as the features are ready.


New Adventure Gallery
We have finally added the Adventure Gallery to the world map where you can search for specific adventures by adventure name or creator name, or use one of our pre-defined search filter buttons to find adventures based on how new, popular or difficult they are.

Results are limited to 24 per filter/search at the moment. We’ll see how that goes for now.

The old behaviour of left clicking a tile to get a random adventure still works as before, but we have removed a bunch of options from the advanced button in terms of how they filter and what you get to include.

We have also added your own adventures to the gallery filter list for ones you have not placed already. Note: We no longer place your own adventures first if you just click on a tile.

You also have the ability to delete unwanted user adventures from your world map. You cannot delete 3 Sprockets or your own adventures.

Welcome to Alpha 3.5 - 27th May 2014

New TAGS system
We have added a new TAGS system to FTD in this update that allows players to TAG each adventure they play with up to 3 unique tags that they feel best describes the adventure they played.

We have also added mandatory TAGS to the Publish UI in the ACK that forces creators to also tag their adventures on publishing.

We ask that all players take some time to tag adventures after they play them as the more data we get, the better the tags system will work.

These tags are going to be used in future updates to allow players to either find adventures based on specific tags or filter out unwanted adventures based on tags… for instance:

For those of you that don’t like playing PLATFORM style adventures, you’ll be able to filter out all adventures that have the PLATFORM tag.

ADVENTURE CREATORS - Please TAG and republish your adventures!


New Class Passive Abilities
Each class now has a passive ability to help differentiate them even more.
  • The Fire Lord takes 50% less damage in lava
  • The Ice Wizard heals very slowly when standing in water
  • The Fighter slowly earns Rage while it's health is below 50%


Visual State of Equipped Armour
You can now turn off/on the visuals for any of your equipped armour. So you might have an awesome helmet equipped, but don't really like the visuals for it, you can now just SHIFT+LMB on the icon or [Y] on controller in your inventory and turn off the visual :-)

This is of course an important feature for us to have in place for when we ship the character customisation system *sometime in the future* as it will allow you to see your customisations underneath your equipped loot.

This feature doesn't work on weapons/shields. Just wearable armour.


New Mini Boss enemy - The Worm
The Worm is a stationary enemy that has a 2 distance melee attack and a ranged attack where it shoots projectiles that do damage and bog down the players movement for 10 seconds. The Worm has a full 360 degree attack radius and they look uber cool!
