In $ALEA, "speed" is not just how fast you move; it's also how quickly you recover The Mage, being light & fast🪶, carries momentum from her Dodge & Hard Landing states, while slower, heavier💪‍ Warrior comes to a full stop

After some testing, we came up with an even better camera experience Rather than smoothing camera movement, we can simply not have any at all. For thin props like trees, we can simply turn off camera collision and dither them Check it out:

In our upcoming update, alongside bug fixes, we're looking to implement a few small features--such as refining our camera system 🎥 Our current setup immediately collides with geometry, but we're aiming for a smoother, more stable experience. Check out our progress so far:

Some updates here as Updraft gains more support utility: - New visuals - Spawn 2 pools; one at your feet, one at your target location - Pools now Heal💚 & Cleanse🛀 In particular, note how we Cleanse our Mage friend of all her debuffs. This is very strong!

Today we've got the final aesthetic piece for our warrior: a reworked, clean 2H sword model. This simpler look better fits our aesthetic, and its smoother shape better accepts our black outlines We now have just 2 agenda items, after which this big boi is ready to release 💪

Today we decided to add a bit more utility to our Warrior's toolkit: a new status effect called Taunt 🐂 Taunt forces enemies to look at you (think Dark Souls lock-on) This truly allows for "tanking" in a pvp game, something we're eager to explore in more depth. Check it out:

You guessed it, more status effects today Introducing: Shock. Shock does damage over time, and then a strong burst of damage when it ends. Healers should pay attention to Shock damage as players are not truly safe until it expires

Today's update is on the technical side Last week, we simplified our Hit Volumes into a single, universal component. Now, all elements needing a Hit Volume—melee swings, projectiles, ground AOE, launch pads—use this new component This is a huge win for scalability

After reviewing our last stream, we decided to replace the hexagon-based VFX we use in a few places, as they now feel a bit overly-stylized The first of these replacements was done today $ALEA #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #Web3 #Web3Gaming #GameFi

Today we improved the visuals for Frostbolt❄️ It now has a nice magic trail which cleanly fades out when the projectile expires and a new impact VFX when it hits something Additionally, the light from Frostbolt is "real"; it illuminates the scene around it. Check it out:

Today we're showing our first Mage🧙‍♀️skill: Frostbolt Frostbolt is a chargeable projectile; hold for more damage This is where our status effects come into play. Fully charged Frostbolts cause Slow⤵️, and hitting an already-Slowed enemy Freezes❄️ them

We'd like to use the VFX videos to convey some info on our generic status effects system We don't have one-off buffs or debuffs; they all live under a unified system. For example, any fire-based ability will cause "Burn", but the duration/damage will vary
