This past month has been quite a rollercoaster! The world came to a halt after the coronavirus outbreak turned into a full-blown pandemic. People went into voluntary (or mandatory, in some countries) confinement to try and flatten the epidemic curve. Full houses, desert streets, nature reclaiming ultra known geographical landmarks (crocodiles and swans in the canals of Venice?!). As regards Round2Games... were happy to report were completely safe and sound, working tirelessly to turn our vision, our dreams, into a reality: an epic Indie Game you wont be able to put down! Whats new with Guardian of Lore? We have lots of exciting updates to share. Keep reading for the full report! Guardian of Lore March 20 Update - Controller compatibility We want players to enjoy our action-adventure game as much as possible, which means we must ensure that Guardian of Lore is compatible with the most popular video game controllers. We have improved the compatibility of the game with Xbox controllers (Xbox 360 wireless controller and Xbox One controller), PlayStation 4 controllers (Dual Shock 4) and with generic controllers. What is more, the game detects which was the last controller input and changes the in-game icons depending on which controller youre using. Hither art some captures of our computer screens which supporteth our claims! Or, in other words, check out these screenshots! Best leave the fancy English to the pros (hint: not us, we should stick to game development).
Other improvements along the same line include the deactivation of the mouse so as to keep it out of sight. You can still use it on the menus, as it comes back to life once you click any button. Out of sight, out of mind! We need your head 100% in the game, no distractions, for Sayris sake! Guardian of Lore March 20 Update - New colors for Sayris wardrobe! With great coats, comes a great responsibility wait, thats not how it went. Anyway, Sayris new outfits are both awesome AND powerful! Apart from giving our hero a brand new look, they add a little special something to the gameplay. The coat Sayri gets in the Yerba Mate level is made of Yaguarete fur and increases his speed. Sayri finds it after doing a certain action we won't disclose at a place we won't talk about... aren't we the nicest devs ever? You won't get spoilers from us! Were already working on next levels coat, which will be made out of ice and white eagle feathers. This special coat will allow Sayri to fall a tad slower. There will be 9 special outfits, one for each level! [previewyoutube=dEDQu1qosBY;full][/previewyoutube] Guardian of Lore March 20 Update - New level on the works! While were at it, let us break the news *drum roll* Were full on working on the level Sierras Nevadas de Merida! Sierra Nevada (in Spanish, Snowy Mountain) is a mountain range and national park in the Andes, in the western part of Venezuela, in South America. Beautiful beyond measure, Merida is rich in myths and legends, both of indigenous origin and those created through time by peasants. Sayris guardian duties will have him protecting the lore in this incredible snowy mountain range. Were just a teensy bit envious of all the traveling our guy is doing, wed totally follow him on Instagram if he had an account! We guess all the boss fighting and lore saving leaves him no time for taking pictures. We have no sneak peeks to share yet, but we can promise you beautifully crafted landscapes that will do gorgeous Merida justice. Guardian of Lore March 20 Update - New trailer! Our brand spanking new trailer is finished, and were over the moon. We wont lie, it took a while to put together. But the results of such hard work are more than worth it! You can see it on our Steam page >> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211740/Guardian_of_Lore/. And, while youre there, you might as well add us to your wishlist, if you havent done so already. Have you ever caught yourself admiring our artwork and our characters and wondering what youd be able to accomplish as a Guardian of Lore? Here's your chance to take your imagination on a ride across the Mystic Library and the Yerba Mate Level. We present you with an action packed trailer with out-of-this-world music. But dont take our word for it, go check it out, well wait right here! Guardian of Lore March 20 Update - Extras! We have added more bad guys to the Behind The Walls tutorial, for players to exercise casting spells and using weapons against their enemies. We realized our testers had a hard time against the final boss of the tutorial - the need for more fighting practice was in high order. This way, players will have acquired fighting skills along the tutorial and will be on top fighting form once the Behind The Walls Boss tries to stop them from saving the Lore. New pause menu to match the rest of the menus in the game. Sayri can now cast the Animal Spirit spell! Our Guardian first conjures up a jaguar, but as he levels up the spell, new animals are unlocked! [previewyoutube=8fPqP0CofmU;full][/previewyoutube] Weve fixed well over 15 big bugs, and quite a few small ones too. Thats all for now, friends! Over the course of the next few weeks, development improvements will surely start coming more slowly, specially now were to stay home until the virus is under control. Its a small sacrifice to make to ensure the infection rate slows down. Stay home with us, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, drop us a line, well be happy to hear from you! Stay safe!
