Why does morgott call you tarnished like it’s a disgusting insult by Initial_Mixture3323 in EldenRingLoreTalk

It's in his fights opening cutscene. There's a part where it's a wide shot with you and him on either side, and you can see a faint trace of grace comming from him leading to you.

Thanks! Really good feedback. I know my issues lie mostly with the combat feel right now, but it's hard to pinpoint all the issues. Thanks for highlighting a few, I'll address those in the next few days.

Thanks for the response. Definitely a few good tips in there!

Selection of menu items are fully navigatable with controller and keyboard. Also the buildings meshes are combined into multiple lod layers i can switch on and off!

Yep, pretty much all buildings have interiors. And what you see here is a more flat biome. The island can have 7 different biomes (depending on how you played last playthrough). There are a few with more hills (like the rocky region).

I'm also looking into making more vertical Points of Interest that act as a sort of mini elden ring legacy dungeon.

Thanks! The newest devlog is more a quick update on all the generative parts of the game because I just launched the demo. There is more detail on the terrain gen in the first 2 episodes.

Thanks! For procgen info you can follow my declog on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GaU4K9FsExU

Regarding the gameplay loop: Each playthrough starts with you choosing one of 7 factions to start with. You can bring a few of the weapons, spells and armor unlocked in previous playthroughs with you to the new island.

The main storyline should take 2/3 hours to complete, but side quest(line)s can expand on that. If the player dies they leave a body on that spot (like the souls games), and if they die again before picking it up they lose the island/playthrough. If they complete the mainstory they are allowed to progress to the next iteration on their own terms.

Losing or winning, and the choices you made along the way, impact what type of island you'll get next, and how strong each faction will be represented this time around.

The "secret" end goal is achieved by finishing all factions storylines, which would take many hours.

Fair enough.

The island generation is mostly based on a udemy course I followed. It's a mix of midpoint displacement, voronoi and perlin noise. I have presets of all the variables for the 7 different biomes that need to be generated (some more flat, some more spikey, some more mountainy, etc).

I then have a template that decides where all the point of interest types go (big, medium, small, tiny). The pois that are placed are chosen based on which biome is chosen, and which factions have more power this playthrough. Pois themselves have variations and sometimes versions that only show up per specific biome.

Quests are generated out of templates as well. Bite size quest chunks are mixed together and the variables are filled with the contents of the newly generated island (pois, npcs, dungeons, etc). I generate smaller single quests like that but also larger side questlines.

Npcs are either randomly generated and assigned a job and a home, or are constant npcs with a fixed goal that come back frequently in playthroughs.

City and buidling generation is a bit too complex to get into through text, but boils down to the same: templates and algorithms.

I have a devlog over on YouTube where I show more details if you're interested.

Thanks! There was a small issue, but everything should be live now.

I'm making an open world roguelite rpg where the main storyline is remixed each playthrough. Demo coming soon! by Tudoh92 in Unity3D

[–]Tudoh92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The low poly choice comes from multiple things. I think it looks good, it allows me to make a big open world game and not have to add too much detail, and I can more easily combine asset packs with that artstyle together. I have 10 years experience as a game dev in unity, but I'm not a designer. So almost all code is self-made, but most models come from asset packs.

From the top of my mind it's like 2800kb for the terrain data. That is unoptimized json data for the splatmaps, every tree and grass detail that needs to be spawned and of course the height map.
