Alpha Demo no longer available for download + Game update

Feb 3, 2023

A small update to let everyone know that the Alpha Demo is no longer available for download. It has served it’s purpose: to gather feedback and technical issues from players. Now, the game is progressing so well, that i don’t feel like the Alpha Demo is still a good representation for the game anymore. Everyone’s feedback has been so helpful and I’m super stoked to show the results of implementing it in the game in the next “Story demo” (yup, the word Alpha is gone!).

I have implemented a lot of fixes and i’m finally implementing things I had in my mind for a long time such as interactive states, an updated Teachings system, a fast travel system… I finished all items and they are all working in the action battle system as intended, and now i am also building all the skills, for both Livia and enemies.

Check out the Teachings System here:

The last thing I am further improving is fps and stability. Everyone who works with both MV3D and Chronoengine in RPG Maker MV knows this is an issue. So far I have made good improvements thanks to my ancient Windows laptop that i use for testing. Areas that had only 10 fps before will now hover around 30 fps, with an occasional dip to 20 fps. Better, but not good enough. The base issue is: the bigger the map and the more events, the more lag.

I’ve been thinking on ways to improve this without harming the gameplay, or ideally find a way that improves both. While my girlfriend was playing The Cult Of The Lamb, i had an idea on how this could be done: the dungeons, forests and fields (basically any place that has enemies to fight) could be built up in rooms, like many roguelites such as Hades or Cult Of The Lamb do. This will make each map small and compact and gives an opportunity to make the game more unique and drastically improve FPS again.

I’m working now on introducing this new set-up to the game and it will be present in the “Story Demo” I will release next. This demo will be much closer to what the final product will be and will also be used to support the Kickstarter campaign. These are my main goals for the next months!

So... who is the furry girl?

There's a furry girl in some of the artwork, but I do NOT see her in any of the screenshots OR the video. Who is she?

Alpha Demo V1.2 now available + 2022-2023 Roadmap

Sep 25, 2022

A new demo is now available to play!

Hello everyone! It’s been a little while since i shared an update about Eniko, but sometimes you just have to sit down and get some work done :) After receiving a lot of valuable feedback from players, I concentrated on two things the last couple weeks: improve performance and fix bugs. I think the new version has vast improvements for both and as such improves playability a lot! The list of improvements is vast, please visit the official blog to see the full list: https://eniko-game.com/alpha-demo-v1-2-now-available-2022-2023-roadmap/ - in short: expect a lot of bug fixes, dialogue fixes, big improvements to performance, and new functions like skills tied to your weapon.

The new Alpha Demo V1.2 is the first version that is stable and polished enough that i’m confident to share it with press, gaming websites, let’s players and streamers. So in the next weeks, that is where I will focus my attention on.

With all this bugs fixed, I am already looking forward to version 1.3 which will simply be called Demo, not Alpha Demo. For version 1.3 I will focus on having ALL technical parts + database 100% done (well, when is something ever 100% done in indie game development? :) ), which will be a huge step in the development of Eniko: Ghosts Of Grace.

Roadmap for 2022 and 2023

So all these progress made me look towards the future and I can share with your all a roadmap for Eniko for this year and next year. I will make an official post with nice graphics later on, but these are the plans for the next 15ish months:

November 2022: Demo V1.3 release
– Further increased performance and stability
– Implementation of new Teachings-system
– All skills implemented and working correctly
– All states implemented and working correctly
– More custom graphics
– Fixes for Hookshot and Pick-up & Throw graphical glitches
– And much more

January 2023: Extended Story Demo release (V1.4)
– Further increased performance and stability
– A LOT more story content and new areas to explore (Crypt Of Aidalina and Apostate Ceremony)

February 2023: Kickstarter Campaign
– A crowdfunding campaign that will get Eniko to the next level
– These funds will fully go towards custom music, custom graphics and getting the game released on more platforms (Switch, Stadia, PS4? Mobile?)

Q4 2023: Full game release
– Hype! :)

I’m looking forward to see how the game will evolve in the next months, if the gaming press, let’s players and streamers will pick it up or not and how you, the players will interact with it!

I will be back soon with new content, in the meanwhile please enjoy Alpha Demo 1.2!

Alpha Demo development update & personal life update

Aug 15, 2022

Hey guys & girls, it has been silent for a little while from my side but that doesn’t mean i’m not working hard on the game ;)

I’m currently on a trip in Berlin with my girlfriend. The city is a great place to find new inspiration and exciting stories. Taking a little break from wandering the city, i thought it’s the perfect moment for a little write-up: after releasing the alpha demo i got positive reactions and great feedback, which I’m very excited about! The reactions were motivating and the constructive feedback very valuable!

I’m implementing these improvements, fixes and balance changes now. I also added a bunch of new things to this demo! (Find the full list below!) But most importantly, I think i’ve almost fully fixed the main issue with the Alpha demo: the lag spikes. The person who helps me coding gave some great feedback (Thanks Minai!) and I also found multiple ways to increase FPS and decrease lag spikes a lot! It should be a very noticeable improvement on almost every computer!

Also, I’ve been testing the demo on tv as you can see (on the picture) and compatibility with Steam Deck: the games runs very smooth. There’s only a small issue with one menu. So I can confidently say the game will work for Steam Deck!

I’ve been silent for a bit because of day-to-day stuff in my life. First the company I work for during daytime moved places, then I injured my foot which obliged me to take some rest, but just then my girlfriend and I had the chance to buy the perfect home for us.

It’s a very exciting time, but in Belgium it takes a lot of time and paperwork to make everything official. Being barely able to walk didn’t help either to visit banks, real estate agents and notaries ^^’

Aaaanyway, most of that stuff has been taken care of and my foot is pretty much healed so i can make time again to not only work on Eniko but also post updates and share new stuff on social media!

PS, here’s a list of improvements I have included for Alpha Demo V1.2 so far, as you can see it’s pretty extensive:

Improvements

More dialogue fixes

More passing error fixes

Improved chests animations & sound effects

Improved Shrines animations & sound effects

Removed all mentions of levels as classic character levelling is not used in the game

You can now skip the intro credits

Removed unnecessary help and guiding dialogues to provide a faster and smoother experience (“Show don’t tell”)

Licences are no longer equipped in a separate menu but are now an extra equipment slot

Unified the colours for HP, EP, Increases stat, Decreased stat etc.
Andal has his own face graphic in the HUD during the introduction battle

Performance

Removed unnecessary console log files that negatively impacted performance

Implemented YEP Event Hitbox Resize to drastically reduce the amount of events on big maps, increasing performance significantly

Splitted the biggest maps in half, increasing performance significantly

Removed the autosave feature as it caused too much lag

Removed unused plugins

Bug Fixes

Fixed issues with the Battle BGM not playing and stopping properly at the right moments
Fixed a bug where only the first attack in a combo has a SE

Fixed a “Maximum call stack” issue when leaving Belrynna Main Street

Fixed a bug in Bartel’s sidequest that causes the game to be stuck in a loop

Balancing

The skill you have equipped is now directly tied to the weapon you use, each weapon has one skill

Bows have a durability statistic and will break after a certain number of uses (you can craft new bows and arrows yourself)

All items will now be placed in the correct item sub categories in the Supplies menu

Rebalanced some loot drops

Added a couple recipe drops

Additions

Extended the total amount of Armors to 24

Armors, Helmets and Shields can now also be upgraded (up to level 4)

All craftable items added to the database

All recipes for craftable items added to the database

Shops and merchants now have correct inventories, some have limited amount of items

You can now buy recipes from the Alchemist shop

All Procurement upgrades added to the database

Licences menu in main menu replaced with Crafting menu

a little feedback...

hello, fellow devs! i followed a link in a signature in a post in the rpg maker forums and tried your demo. theres a little bug right after the combat tutorial, when you gain access to the town and is able to walk around and see stuff, if i press C and a window opens, its empty, and when i press X to close it a game breaking error occurs needing to restart the engine (F5). i stopped playing there, but will play more in my lunch break. other than that, it looks amazing. i only think that night time is w...
