Progress Update

Post by Des »

Often, it is not the problem at hand that is the problem but rather how the task ahead is perceived as the problem is the actual problem. When you take emotion out of any situation, all that remains are tasks that need performing.

The new Pet Combat UI and related Ui are starting to take shape. Even though they are not yet complete at this point, you can see how they will be used in the future.

When a Pet Combat Action is used, it goes on cooldown, and this is a perfect opportunity to show that information in a visually pleasing way, also known as eye candy. The game theme is, for the most part, candy. So this should be no surprise.

An essential part of the Pet Combat UI is to be able to put an action in Que. This Que would be an Action on cooldown or the following Action to perform when the Action Bar is full. The Action Que is the visual representation of the following Action to be performed when it is possible to do so.

During or after Combat, items will usually be dropped. The new Unity3D client can now illustrate this pleasing and appropriately esthetic animation using the Animation Curve and the Particle Effect System.

Of course, Item pickup was the next step and is as you would expect for now, and will have some visual esthetics added to it in the future.

Here is a sample of how Combat currently looks.

While implementing this logic or maybe previous game functionality, some bugs were introduced that have recently been resolved. For example, the NPC Shop was somehow broken and unable to sell items to the NPC shop. Another change worth noting is that the new Inventory Component has replaced the previous temporary functionality that was being used.

As many of you may already know, the Halloween event is coming up very soon. Please keep in mind that this event is for the Classic Flash client of CSK. If you want to participate, you are welcome to by following these instructions.

This Halloween Event is a bit different than previous Halloween Events in that there is a new area created specifically for the event with very powerful enemies to combat against.

Image

One final note, to get the updated files, you will need to clear your Windows Temporary Internet files and website files. This must be done when the event goes live, not before.

Thank you for reading, and have a great and fun Halloween :)
