Greetings to all fans of RPGs, Dungeon Crawlers and all players who are fans of the Aledorn project.
\nI haven’t heard from you in a long time, but that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. Of course that’s not true, the game is still being worked on hard. However, it’s still true that it’s not a priority project that feeds us, but actually just an indie project that is being worked on „in the evenings“.
\n
\n\tNow we are working on two things in particular. Quests and various revivals and linking scenes. A lot of scripts need to be assigned to each scene to make everything work as it should. The last thing I remember, for example, was the secret entrance that could be opened from both sides. Because we have an automatic mapping system in the game, the secret entrance needs to look like a wall from each side, and at the same time it needs to be a double-sided object, so that the player can’t easily detect it from the map.

\n\tThe other issue that needs to be addressed, and is being addressed, are the states of the mechanisms. As it happens, there are a large number of dungeons that have different states. For example, doors (open\/closed), levers (up\/down). These mechanisms are often accompanied by various timers as well. All of this needs to be saved and counted correctly even when the player leaves the location, which we still find annoying. Because if the player, for example, presses a lever that has a delay and leaves the location in the meantime, the lever has switched, but its purpose hasn’t been fulfilled and thus the whole mechanism is messed up. We have more than enough „fun“ like that.

\n\tAnother thing we are preparing for you (or already have) is Discord, which we also came up with in our internal communication from Slack. There are several reasons for this, but I guess the main one is that Slack decided not to remember history in the non-commercial free version, which can be a big problem. Discord link:

\n\tAledorn was also presented at the GDS 2022 conference, from which I bring some photos. We had a small booth at the conference where you could play our DEMO. Several dozen visitors also took advantage of this opportunity and we got some well-deserved feedback.

\n\tBelow is a short video of our DEMA playing. In it I come across some bugs, in the course of testing DEMA not only by the community, we have discovered a lot of bugs, which we are working hard to fix.<\/p>\n
