What's new?

It's been another busy week! Check out the video we made, showcasing our progress these past few days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTC-333EJ9E

We finished implementing a quest relating to a labyrinth with invisible walls. The puzzle is a nod to "In the Walls of Eryx" by H.P. Lovecraft.
We finalised adding the map files relating to an ancient dwarven fortress in the Rusts.
We improved the mechanics of the boss fight in the Black Tower. By introducing the puzzle in an earlier area, we give the players a chance to familiarise themselves before attempting a more challenging version.
We implemented two new enemies. The first is a flying automaton, which fires a series of lasers when detecting an enemy presence. The second is a Consumption demon spawned from the abyss, which can launch magical projectiles in various patterns.
Finally, we implemented an environmental hazard object in the form of barrels that explode when damaged. These are of course dangerous to the player, but can be pushed around so that they are placed in locations where they might damage enemies instead.

That's all we have for this week! We'd love to hear your comments and thoughts, so don't hesitate to share your opinion! Follow development live at: https://www.twitch.tv/topbraj

Fates of Ort Linux [275.29 M]

Fates of Ort is a retro inspired fantasy RPG with a focus on strategic action and a story driven by player choices. It is a tale of sacrifice and difficult choices, in a world under threat of annihilation by the avaricious force of consumption magic.

A hybrid of real time and turn based action
Multiple spells to discover and combine with elements for varied effects
Endless gear to find – some ordinary, some cursed, some utterly legendary…
NPC interactions that fundamentally alter the course of the story progression

Magic

There are numerous ancient forgotten spells, yearning to be learned and uttered once more. How each spell manifests in the world depends on what divine power you choose to combine it with – the unbridled passion of Life, the measured incisiveness of the Mind, or the devastating force of the Shadow. For example, the Evoke Force spell will cause the ground to erupt with a series of sharp ice crystals, summon a thunderous lightning strike, or barrage the ground with a meteor shower – all depending on what the spell is combined with.

Life

Magic is powerful, but it is not free. Every spell you cast requires a little bit of your life energy to spark it. Cast enough spells and you will extinguish your very soul. This means you need to be strategic when fighting, balancing the cost of magic with the risk of taking damage from your enemies. Replenish your life energy by approaching one of the magical spikes littered around the world, which were driven into the ground eternities ago to bind Consumption in the depths below.

Time

In Ort, time stands still when you do. This adds another dimension of strategy, as you are able to consider your moves carefully. There is nothing holding you back – as long as you are moving or performing an action, your enemies will come rushing to destroy you. Use this ability to mould time to your advantage by carefully avoiding projectiles and setting up elaborate traps to defeat your enemies.
