Alpha 9 - The Destruction Update

Mar 14

Alpha 9 is here, and with it comes a brand new destruction system, a new map called "Borderline" to try it out on, as well as a new gadget - the Explosive Barrel! Throw it into enemies or roll it down slopes. It starts to burn when it takes damage and explodes when it breaks!
Secondly, I have fully overhauled fire, explosion, smoke and all impact effects to look more detailed and last longer. Fire now stay around after a fireball explodes so watch out!
And last but not least, numerous changes to bot physics have been made, resulting in improved performance and responsiveness!

Alpha 9 was supposed to be the final free update before the Steam Early Access release, but I have decided to release another free Alpha version, Alpha 10 before that!

The Steam Early Access release, originally planned for last year has been delayed to later this year (2024). I want to make it as good as possible and add lots of awesome new things for you to enjoy!

Don't forget to wishlist and follow the game to get notified of further updates and releases!

Thanks for playing my game!

Gameplay

Check out the new gadget: An explosive barrel
Throw it or roll it down slopes into your enemies which might make them fall over
It will start to burn once it takes damage, when it breaks, it explodes!
Added destruction physics! Now, certain things can break when you attack them. What can be destroyed depends on the map
Check out the new destruction pysics on the new map "Borderline"
Wood can usually be broken with melee weapons, but things made of stone may require explosive weaponry or very strong impact force like the catapults coming to the Steam early access release
Destruction is very easy to add as its fully dynamic. Once modding is out you can make any object destructible in just a few seconds
Structural integrity can also be simulated, if all lower parts of a structure are broken, the top parts can collapse as well
Increased upwards force received from explosions
Crossbow projectiles now travel faster
Added a new setting to invert vertical flight controls (In preparation for dragons, there are no dragons... yet)
Added a new setting to change mouse sensitivity in vehicles or when fallen over
Changed collision with stairs and bridges on the map Gray Tower to be more accurate
Hitting an enemy from behind is now easier and will feel more consistent
Fixed hits from behind not calculating damage properly on ragdolled enemies. This was noticeable when kicking or using weapons like the spear or mace
Bots can now also make an enemy fall over if they're kicking it from behind, just like the player
Changed the ammunition boxes center of mass so it is less likely to fall over after throwing it
Updated the ammunition boxes description to inform about it also replenishing throwable gadgets (Like knives or fireballs) over time
Certain objects like first aid packs and ammunition boxes can now collide with ragdolled bots and vehicles
Increased throwing knife force and speed
The ballista is now controlled more directly and reacts to aiming instantly instead of slowly following it

Graphics

New and smooth smoke effects throughout the game
Fire has been overhauled completely featuring a new look as well as spreading behavior
It can also burn you and others, so watch out!
Smoke and embers are affected by wind too
Light emitted by fire now smoothly appears and fades out instead of having full range and intensity once something starts or stops burning
Fully overhauled all impact effects (for example when hitting wood or stone), they all now leave physical debris in the environment
Added a new kick dust impact effect
The weapon trail effect received an overhaul and is now smoother and feels more elegant.
In addition, once weapon modding is out, modders will be able to easily customize their created weapons trail color and light intensity
Updated metal impact effects to be more white and less yellow
Updated light emitted by fire to fit the fire color more closely
Updated light emitted by fire to be more intense
Crossbow bolt trails are easier to see now
Entering any vehicle now has a smooth transition
The onehanded sword now has a slightly different, more elegant look so it is easier to differentiate from the twohanded sword and highlight its higher attack speed
Fixed and overhauled ice visuals and collision on the map Cold Fort

Audio

Added wind sound occlusion to the tower on the map Gray Tower
Added ice footstep sounds

Technical stuff

Updated Unity to 2022.3.21
A huge overhaul of bot physics has been done, resulting in improved performance, especially when playing with many bots at once
This also now has fixed slightly incorrect or unintentionally fast movement reactions when falling over
Fixed sometimes looking away from intended direction after spawning in
Spawning in now feels smoother as the players spawn position is now adapted to the physical environment instead of the navigation mesh bots are using, previously this could sometimes result in a slight move upwards or downwards immediately after spawning
A new spawn camera animation makes spawning in feel more physical
Bot navigation overhaul
Bots will now re-decide their current objectives and movement in timestemps, before they were doing it in frame-dependent steps.
This change results in potentially slightly higher framerates for faster pcs and more responsive and consistent bot behavior at lower framerates
Numerous smaller optimizations to bot behavior resulting in improved performance
Fixed field of view number not displaying correctly in settings menu
Placed gadgets like the healing banner wont push you away anymore if you place them directly where youre standing
Explosion and impact forces are now applied as originally intended, you are now pushed back by explosions even if they dont make you fall over
Fixed vehicles not being considered by bots if they spawned right next to them at the start of a round
Updated modified respawn durations to affect bots instead of the player
Increased default bot respawn duration from 5 to 7 seconds to make capturing points less challenging
Decreased player respawn duration

Known bugs

Bots placing ladders dont have an animation yet and just stand still
The map selection menu does not have enough space to fully display the new map, but you can still select it

1 Year Anniversary, Dragon Teaser & Release Announcement

May 24, 2023

Today is the first anniversary of Dragonfields first release, Alpha 1!

I just wanted to take this day as an opportunity to thank everyone that has played, wishlisted or just followed development so far.

Thank you very much for all of your positive feedback on the game too!

I can't wait to show you more of the upcoming Dragonfield Steam Early Access version which will release in September!
It will contain many new weapons, gadgets, maps, visual enhancements, awesome features and improvements, other cool things I haven't even announced yet, and of course - Dragons!

If you have not already, remember to wishlist the game to get notified when it releases, or follow it to stay informed about other updates!

In the meantime, check out this screenshot teaser. Can you spot the dragon?

Thanks again, it means a lot to me you're playing my game!

Alpha 8 - The Crossbow Update

Mar 21, 2023

Alpha 8 is here, including a brand new weapon as well as a new tutorial/tip system!
Use the new crossbow to fight far away enemies. You can fire it instantly after reloading, unlike the bow, which opens some new combat styles.
The crossbow also comes with a new quiver style for the bolts its firing.
A new tutorial/tip system is now in place that will display hints on screen when relevant.
They are designed to not be intrusive, but if you think you already know everything, they can be disabled in the gameplay options. (I don't recommend this though as there are many new features coming in future updates)

This is also a good moment to say that after this update, I will be focusing on the Early Access version that will release in a few months.
There are so many new additions this version will receive and they are all interconnected so it would slow down development a lot if I did continue release constant updates for the Alpha.
But do not worry, there will be another free Alpha update shortly before the Steam release, Alpha 9!

You can download the free alpha here on Steam now (Click on the install demo button) as well as the previous place[vincentknight.itch.io]

I can't wait to show you what everything will look like!
And as always, thanks to everyone that has wishlisted the game and left their feedback so far!

Updated gadget and throwable use indicators to show the button you need to press and changed their order (3 above 4)
The options menu tooltip is now more readable
The health indicator now rotates/fills counter clockwise to fit in more with the previously altered position

Maps

Graphics

Corrected bow texture that was incorrect after Alpha 7s update to the model

Technical stuff

Questions about the game.

1: Will the A.I be improved so that they don't just walk in singular straight paths? 2: Weapons? Will more be added? 3: Related to A.I again, Will there fighting be improved? The ones with bows are great, But the ones with swords and spears tend to walk right past you with tunnel vision... Unless you hit them. 4: Destructible Building/Castles? 5: Hero's? A unit that is tougher then the rest with a ability? Like a wizard with a fireball or a knight with a spear he can throw. 5: General improvements? Li...
