Deluded v0.3 IS OUT!
WATCH 0.3 TRAILER
💜 v0.3
Rejoice, brethren, for finally, the long-waited big content update has arrived! 😃 Let me just recap everything we’ve added to the game, what happened to the project in general and what we’ve been doing for so long.
First of all, the Needs System. The third step of our core mechanics roadmap is done!
From this moment on, you gonna have to monitor Alisa’s needs carefully. To satisfy her needs, you'll find a variety of items and solutions scattered throughout the playable areas. What if you don’t take care of them? So, there are Satiety, Hydration, Sleep, Toilet, Body temperature with the most important one being Mood. Needs have borderline states (0 - 100) that give buffs/debuffs. In general, not meeting needs leads to lower Mood, and having Mood on the lowest mark for too long leads to the only way of having a game over in Deluded.
There’s also one parameter called Ausal. It increases over time naturally and even faster by doing “certain” activities. When above 50 - it gives Hny effect. When Hny effect is active you’re able to cool Alisa down with routine events and activities available around the area.
We tried to make the needs more immersive by using post-process effects on critical states, but you can still look up the numbers if you want in your Tab menu.
Learn more about the new Needs system just by playing!
During that time, our team has also expanded with 2 new members: a quest designer (ArkadiyVicont) and an animator (YuraN235). We’ve spent a great deal of time teaching them our systems and workflows, that’s why this update took us that long 😁 But now they’re all good and work with full dedication, which we’re happy about! For this update YuraN235 made the chair event animations and Arkadiy made the 3rd day quests almost entirely by himself!
But not only that. Arkadiy has also worked and continues working on prototyping the open world, particularly on the Lindcliff village. Later we would like to make a separate post thoroughly explaining the open-world game loop. I’ll just tell about it in short. Currently, he has prototyped some Lindcliff activities, NPC fractions, survival stuff, etc… All of this will be available not earlier than v0.9. With the help of ArkadiyVicont we’ll continue working on the open world while going along the main story in the prologue.
The game functionality has expanded significantly with the help of our programmer. A lot of code for open-world game loop and v0.9 has been written and it’s already being used in prototyping.
Another major thing we’ve accomplished is that we added a lot of lore details to the game and now we’ve established a clear direction of the plot development!
