Next Up: Slavers

6 March - Koomatzu
Hi everyone! It looks like we're going to be quiet again for a couple of weeks so just thought I'd fill you in on what's to come. We're hoping to have our next update ready for early April.



0.73.0 will include:
  • Slavery
    There will be a slave camp where players are shackled, shaved, stripped and forced to work in mines. The capture AI will be rather limited at first, but in later updates there will be slave raids and potentially slave markets.

  • New GUI and character editor
    New morphs and improved editing in the character editor. You can check out a latest GUI screen here http://lofigames.com/gui-makeover/

  • New character models
    The character editor and character models are primarily aimed to help boost performance, as opposed to simple aesthetic improvement. New character face designs have been created with less bone structure for better optimisation.

  • Performance boost
    Slight improvement in frame rate but still needs further optimisation in future updates. Also fixed the bug where guards won't protect you from bandits
*We may include the 'bone people' as a new playable race, but still contemplating saving it for beta release when the new world map is finished*



Later on: DirectX11

Sam is currently taking a short break from work on the path-finding bugs and is now moving on with the Direct X11 upgrade. As you may have noticed, at the moment the graphics are a little fugly - this is a temporary result of the 64-bit engine upgrade. Direct X11 won't, however, be finished until later after the 0.73.0 release. If you're worried about your computer specs, don't worry, DirectX9 will still be supported.

Please note that fixing up the broken path-finding is still a top priority, we just really don’t want Sam to go insane after being stuck with that ungodly task for a whole year.


UPDATE: This will be delayed a few more weeks for bug fixing. You can read more about progress here http://lofigames.com/dev-blog-2-lights/

although it has been awhile since an update this game is still gonna be like the best most immersive largest map awesome game of the decade...even tho that might take a while im happy to wait as long as it takes, i love games like this that focus on immersion and gameplay hours rather then graphics

Eh I agree still its an early game and while i am downright annoyed the game refuses to release progress stuff on the update we got to just let them do what they got to do.

Wish you guys would update already, it's been more than a month since this was posted.

sounds really good, been playing the stable version. I made a giant guy and it made me think maybe you could add in giants. Giants been in many fantasy games but not really playable and having them as a seperate race would allow for specific gear for giants. They could be tougher and slower but heave really big crossbows and swords with which they can cleave through multiple people with ease kinda like current heavy weapons but on a bigger scale.

Imo next update you guys should add me

Three legs the Bandit, a badass bandit NPC. A name that may sound crude yet only means the bandit can run away really fast hehe.

Add me, it will be legendary with 10% increased in-game speed :O

Koomatzu should support this NPC idea :D

Just read the Koomatzu post and link.

The QQ is strong on this thread.

What would make this more interesting and even more challenging is if there were beasts that had the abilities of earth's creatures. Example electric eel, spiders (webs, colonies), spitting cobra, moles (digging)... etc.
