Changelog v.0.1.9f5

Gameplay:

– Reduced flags guards HP
– Reduced rabid wolf’s HP (18)
– Redesigned part of light armours (helms) and their recipes distribution in enemies drops
– Redesigned tooltips for items and recipes scrolls, especially improved displaying of recieps and their levels – soon there will be added information if characters already knows a recipe

Fixes:

– Fixed bug allowing to duplicate items by using deposit
– Locked cursor’s position when rotating the camera so it won’t go out of game’s window if player is using multiple monitors
– Implemented cyclic checking if character has a proper tool equipped after hovering the cursor over resources; for now it was checked only at the moment of hovering cursor over resources so player needed to hover once again after swithing weapons, which was confusing a lot of players
– Implemented next fixes preventing items to disappear during crafting processes

Unity 5 port comes in next few days!

 

Greetings!

We are glad to inform you that we are in the home stretch with transferring Gloria Victis to Unity 5! The engine upgrade allowed us to highly increase game performance, so even more of our players will be able to enjoy the smooth running game. Test results are awesome – FPS increase reaches even up to 50%!

At the same time moving to Unity 5 allowed us to significantly improve visuals! Many of them, like high quality textures or advanced lightning effects, have already been implemented, but even more will come in the future!

What’s new? Territory control system will be expanded in the next update. To take over the most important strategic points players will have to cooperate and show their brilliant combat skills. It will highly increase the role of team play. As an example we can bring the headquarters of Brotherhood of Lord’s Wrath, a faction of swordsmen recruiting both from Midlanders and Ismirs, for ages training in order to fight their common enemies – Azebs. To gain their respect and access to their keep, players will need to coordinate actions of a few teams, so they will be able to complete a series of smaller objectives in a specified time. Of course dealing with such a challenge will bring an appropriate reward, so this land will soon become an arena for thrilling PvP battles.

As a response to many requests from our players we will implement an optional FPS camera soon! Playing in this mode will allow for deeper immersion into the atmosphere of Medieval world and greater excitement during exploration and combat!

Big changes will also come to crafting system – it’s window will be fully reworked and expanded by additional options, like e.g. recipes sorting. In the near future, party and equipment windows will also be improved, so there are things to wait for!

See you in battle!

Hello,  is this game similar to Ultima Online at all? If it is will it have detailed crafting system like it? Cheers.

Jogobogos

Greetings!

Awesome news – soon we will finish the first version of building and fortifications system! With it you will be able to upgrade the gates and set the pots with boiling water or oil, as well as to hire the NPC mercenaries. Thanks to this, players will have more influence on defending the outposts or towns, and in nearest future it will allow us to implement further upgrades for controlled locations, as mining spots in the mines or crafting workshops in farms and keeps. The prototype version should be ready next week – we invite all our Community to test this system!At the same time we are implementing the skills system – a prototype version with dozens of passive skills, allowing you to create an unique character, should be also ready next weekend! Stay tuned!

How comes these guy's post count numbers don't increase?

 

ok maybe a little off topic :-)

SirBalin

Looking good, I'm calling this as potentially the one game that's a kickstarter that may make it...but even you guys called for a 2015 launch and you are in prealpha...so, not sure any have a chance lol.  Still...good additions.
