Public Devlog.

fixed a variety of rig issues including reloading with upper body while still walking, ostrich position when idle (now head stands normally)

The work today was much more boring, and does not include an image, but it might very well be the most important piece of the puzzle. Adapted networking solution so that more servers can be plugged in while server is hot with a batch script and more server consoles - all done and ready to go they would automatically pin themselves to the game and be open for service in minutes. That is for later, if the game was to grow. Brand new queu system added. 300 players max for now, if that capacity is ever reached, server could be added without breaking the current networking codes or DBs. Would all be in the same connected world as well. Only more power.

is seperated from the global stats - will only show you the stats of the gun itself where char window is global (later if buffs, etc)

Shows character level, EXP%, name, the icon of the character you are using, and the new Fracture Shards currency.

Forum built including posting, browsing user accounts to see what they posted, total posts count etc. The forum account is the same as your game account, you can use your same account for both, when logging in to forums if you account already exist you will be prompted to create a forum name, this can be differen than your in game account, this is what people will see when you post on the forums.

correctly displays player materials, ingredients and consumables. The warehouse does not seem to have much functions yet because that items are per account and untradeable (gold sellers protection) but it does allow to see everything you own in one consolidated space

also its currently functional, truly relays to secure DB items per account, crafting and conversion works

currently none of the items in it besides the X button are interactive - for future developmnent

(after hitting -)

We have the very first menu for HP pots crafting which will also eventually tells how many your character owns.

Alchemist NPC created, town map function (menu, but white right now) ready

Next, will have to create a few more NPCs and attach functional menus with backend ties and database queries for requests. Blueprint and C++ now works for interactions.

For all new character types.

We have 8 different playable characters. We have reached this milestone!

The males

Just so that you can have a quick peak in at what we have now.

Four females and four males, all locomotion done.

As for now, no combat animations exists, but all 8 character types can move in town, walk run and dash.

Improvement to all menus

Also added support for multiple character types

Discovering how much of a difference certain light levels can make

Also, worked on textures and meshes for tress and rocks

Worked on characters walking and running locomotion

Today our pawns took their first actual '' steps '' instead of gliding!

From texturisation to luminosity to colorify and several thing in between...

Today the entire evening was spent working on only that, and that work is still WIP. Town looks better in my opinion.

Getting familiar with characters creation, male and female models created,

Still not rigged for movement

Adding more variety to the graphics in game

Moving around with mouse, alt or esc for cursor, again or move to cancel and go back to moving mode...

Dodge function on spacebar, zoom in zoom out...

adding about 20 textures to the game and trying them out...

The city template is grey and lifeless, but seems to have collision working

Next step is colour!

First character with an identity tied to the DB that was able to walk the world

Character slots go as: darker grey, no character, unselectable, hover on them for slight glow, and selected has blue arround

Functional to reflect real character on live DB

Creation working, and related to database

Deletion available also

Login screen has been created, login functions work, database has the fields for accounts and passwords and the game links to the servers back-end correctly

Security fixes added alongside account creations, for now emails are not used for backup of account yet, but creation has a field to associate account with email (for the future)

Making blueprint for the game opening sequence

skippable screen first, where eventually the narrative will be read, with audio and subtitles, which can be skipped with leftclick

Database was created (Basic version) Backend and API with login and tokens.

Fracture Keepers does not store plaintext passwords. Passwords are one-way hashed before storage, and login sessions are designed so database leaks do not expose reusable login tokens.

First player model, our famous "Block" moved across the map

It is reported that the "Block" also had the capacity to zoom in and out and move around the screen using their mice. They said they had an excellent field of view when reaching the end of the tiles and falling off the world also.

A little bit more work before starting everything!

Made a handler for the common stuff used on server and also a web manager app, to avoid dealing with dozens of shortcuts and difficult locations.

Of course the first connection attempt did not work. The second did not either >.>

Then we refined the style a bit to where its more pleasant to the eye. (Hopefully!)
