Devlog #12

A bit in a rush so no video this time, but i added pics so it should be fine.

Battle System

• 战斗状态/Battle Mode: activates when hitting something, or dmg from players, cultivators, or mobs counts too, normally lasts 15 seconds
• Manual mode: press Y to lock combat mode on until pressed again it can be disabled in settings
• Normal attacks (left click just normal attack)
• Heavy attacks (hold attack for 0.5 seconds, then release, normal heavy attacks deal 120% weapon dmg)
• Blocking (hold left and right click together you dont take dmg, but the weapon loses durability and the blocked dmg harms posture)
• 架势/Posture: maximum posture is 100 + Physical Attack × 100 + Max HP ÷ 2. It regenerates by 1% each second
• 破势/Zero Posture: at zero posture, the player is stunned for 1.5 seconds, cannot block, takes 25% more dmg, and loses their current spell charge
• 外放灵气/External qi: qi injected weapons can release long, straight qi slashes, with the dmg, width, and range scaling with injected qi amount

Recent Weapons

• 精铁枪: A 14 dmg spear normal attacks is like normal, while heavy attacks use a thrust animation and forms a qi cone shaped thingy
• 铁骨扇: Shift right click switches forms: closed form deals 3 dmg and uses a cone heavy attack and open form deals 5 dmg and uses slash attacks
• 拂尘: Deals 7 dmg normal attacks is normal too, but its heavy attack spins five times in front of the player, damaging everything within 3 blocks. Right click binds a physically weaker target within 5 blocks for 3 seconds, with a 10 second cooldown
• 飞刀: Deals 4 dmg and you can stack 5 more all together into one. Right click throws normally and heavy attacks throw a faster knife that can break five blocks before exploding.
• 飞针 and 袖箭: 飞针 deals 4 dmg, has 1,000 durability, and consumes 10 durability per shot. 袖箭 can be held or equipped in a back accessory slot. Normal attacks fire ordinary needles but heavy attacks fire qi powered explosive needles

Etc

Added more English
Remake some gui

Devlog #10

Ok so I have work on more than what is showed in the video but this feature is very big so the smaller thing can be talked about in the later devlog
Restriction Enchantment Thingy Update
禁制 replaces normal enchantment levels for weapons and artifacts.

Every artifact can contain multiple Restriction Layers:
1重禁制
2重禁制
3重禁制
……
36重禁制
72重禁制

Each successfully engraved layer improves the weapon. Higher layers become progressively harder, more expensive, and more dangerous to refine.

After reaching 72重禁制, the weapon can evolve into the next level

Rules

Controls

Click a row to select its node.
Click to the left or right of the bead, or use the < and > buttons, to move it.

Use W/S or the Up/Down Arrow keys to change the selected node.

Use A/D or the Left/Right Arrow keys to move the selected bead.

Each bead has a Qi value ranging from 0 to 6. The golden diamond shows the target value.

When every node matches its target value at the same time, the formation is completed and all selected Restrictions are engraved onto the artifact.

Moving one bead may also affect linked nodes.

Nodes Types

Normal Node

A standard node that can be moved directly.

The node turns gold when its value matches its target.

Forward Golden Formation Line

Linked beads move in the same direction.

For example, moving one bead to the right also moves the connected bead to the right.

Reversed Cyan Formation Line

A cyan formation line marked with a “−” symbol.

Linked beads move in opposite directions.

For example, moving one bead to the right moves the connected bead to the left.

Locked Node

A gray node that cannot be moved directly.

The player must move connected nodes to push it into the correct position.

Locked nodes begin appearing from a total of 46 Restriction layers.

Unstable Node

A pulsating red-jade bead.

It moves automatically after its displayed action interval and may also affect linked nodes.

Unstable nodes begin appearing from Restriction layer 55.

Hidden Node

Its target value is displayed as “?”

The player must determine the correct target by observing the formation’s behavior or by using a hint.

Hidden targets and move limits begin appearing from Restriction layer 73.

Devlog #9

Ok so after some ratings and feedbacks I have decided to write better devlogs with more explaining and thoughts.

Update:
NPC
I was working on npc on the last update and decided to further more finish this feature with adding a nice feature of …
IDENTITY
All Npc will all spawn with a random identity

器修 - Artifact Cultivator
尸修 - Corpse Cultivator
世家子弟 - Noble Clan Disciple
皇族 - Royalty
通缉犯 - Wanted Criminal
体修 - Body Cultivator
(Yes I actually added translation for chinese things now)
This identity feature not only completes the Npc’s personality but for each identity they have there own special items (which really helps my mod’s survivability, adding a way to obtain items now)
They also have their own personal dialogue based on their identity.

Jindan
Added a new breakthrough screen for zhuji to jindan, and a new dimension for your own personal jindan (like a new world you can channel 2000 qi in the center and you can build chunks in your own world) (see pics)

Plans:
I was going to further improve the Npcs but after adding a hole a lot of new items for each identity, I realized that I have a other system and features I didnt make (pill making system and more higher level spells)

New NPC Update
The NPC system has been expanded into a full cultivation-style character system.
NPCs now have random names, gender, identity, cultivation realm, attributes, spiritual roots, methods, spells, personality, inventory, relationship values, and persistent memory-style data.
NPCs can now behave differently depending on personality, identity and relationship with the player.
They can fight, flee, use spells, heal, trade, give quests, spar, and interact through a new dialogue screen. (PS the gui shown in the pic is only temporay)

Major additions include:
Talk, Interact, Trade, Quest, Teach/Learn, Inventory, About, Spar, Invite to Sect, Master/Disciple, and Dao Companion.
Relationship stats: friendship, trust, affection, hatred
Social actions like praise, joke, insult, threaten, and gifting
NPCs can follow, stay, join sects, become master/disciple, or become Dao Companion if requirements are met.
