December 13th Weekly Update (Patreon)

Thought I would do something a little different, and kinda lay out what my goals were for the short term.  
Specifically finishing out the tutorial level, so that its a fun, but solid vertical slice of what the game was.

This isn't so much a timeline but more of a list of the stuff I want to focus on.

First I do want to add some cutscenes to drive the player through the level, and to define the characters more.  I'd love to have them voiced, but that's a budget thing, so we'll see how that goes.

I'd like to add a boss character/fight.   The minotaur and Ogre are for different stories, but I might have one of them stand in for now.   I've even thought about using the more armored hobgoblin.(See screenshot above) as a boss.

I want to have a better explanation of how to use magic, and switching attacks/spells.  I'd also like to have more sections where you use your magic to solve puzzles, but I'll try to keep them super simple. (Shooting switches, simple barrel type stuff. )  Something a little more simple, but more interesting then my current puzzles.

I'd like to add some secondary objectives/story elements.  I don't want to say what, and its nothing super siginificant, but a reason to be there.

And of course I'd like to fix some of the weaker models.  Get some final models and graphical elements in there so everything looks consistent and the same level of quality.

Along the way I'd like to add new spells and tweak things, as well as add new "interaction" animations.

There are a few other elements I want to add as well, like Meridiana's garden as a hub area, and NPCs for a town.  

There are a few things I've probably missed, and some details I want to try to surprise people with, so this isn't a complete list of my near term objectives.  Nor do I have a good timeline of it.  (Setting up the latest model has taken waaaaayy longer then I had planned, for instance)

I hope this gives a little bit of an idea what my plans and hopes are.  

Stay safe and have a good week!
