Hello! Firstly, we would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (we hope youll have great holidays) and take stock of the past year. The 2018th was full of events: the Prologues release, a successful Kickstarter campaign, porting to a new engines version, huge revamp of many game systems and implementation of many new features. Without your support all of this would hardly have been possible, and its an awesome thing our community consists of so many cool people! 2019 should be decisive due to the planned release, so all the most interesting is yet to come! ====== Now lets turn to the current news. This devlog was preceded by a long period of silence. The reason is simple: we simultaneously worked on many different features, but until recently, they were all too rough around the edges to show them publicly. Now the situation has changed, so in the coming weeks devlogs will be published much more often and stably. And todays Saturday will be dedicated to the updated UI. Initially, we did not plan to change with the interface before the Beta. However, when it came to the introduction of trade and the dialogue system, it became clear it's impossible to continue on without the total rework of the entire UI. So in this iteration we tried to take into account the most frequent problems and suggestions of the community.
First lets inspect the general points. The GUI design has become more dark and monumental in order to better match the game worlds spirit. For example, weve added two atmospheric statues to support health and energy scales they will constantly remind you of how close death is in Stoneshard. Inventory has undergone notable changes as well. First of all, weve added a new equipment slot the back. Theres a choice what to equip there: a bag for some additional inventory slots or a cape for extra stats and resistances.
Small changes have affected the old weapon slots too. They were increased to a size of 5x2 so the especially large types of two-handed and polearm weapons could fit. The amulet slot was increased to 2x1 thanks to this, talismans and necklaces would become much more detailed. Weve also added autosort button, which was requested by many players. Upon clicking on it, all items in your inventory will be optimally arranged to leave as much free space as possible. This should ease the management of all your hard-won loot. Weapon loadout switch has moved to the upper panel as well. Another new feature gold counter: it allows you to quickly track the number of coins in your inventory, which is very useful when trading. By the way, as you can see, weve changed the font of the game too. The old pixelated font had its own charm, but we were forced to abandon it for the sake of better text readability. Also, this is necessary for future localizations: some European and Oriental characters turned out to be impossible to be adequately pixelated. That's all for today. Stay tuned for more devlogs in the future! ====== Also you can follow us on:
