Ideally they would join in the murder of a) they hated the guy
b) they fanatically adore the player

Yes very true! There is some ironing out to be done here. At the start of this clip the two NPCs liked each other better than me. My two kills bumped me up, then my initial assault didn't bump me down enough in the eyes of great axe dude...

My glitchy NPC behaviors are coming along nicely! If an NPC witnesses you kill their enemy, you earn their respect. If you get attacked by someone they respect less than you, they will come to your aid.
Emergent game play here we go! 🙃

Let the battle commence!

So I accidentally introduced a bug that allowed NPCs to duel wield... And these guys are exploiting it to a whole new level...

Working on randomly generating npc's for Legends of Rahnok. These are some of the mountain clans.

Now stand back I gotta practice my stabbing.

Finally got around to (almost completing) the human animation set.... Animation certainly is fun but also time consuming..
Time to start working on the non combat interactions and faction system to get this guy fighting rats instead!

Just spending a bit of time polishing combat and battling in the forest.

Been too long since posting an update... So here I am getting sidetracked from animating characters to completely overhauling the over world environment and level generation...

Nice art style!

Being skipped because your birthday is on 26th day of the month is too real.

Hi, I'm doing well thanks. I'm still working on getting my Steam page ready so no wishlists yet sorry.. Thanks for showing interest 🙂 I will be sure to let you know when the page is up!

I plan to have little to no voice acting in Legends of Rahnok (perhaps some Age of Empires style grunts) so making sure to have enough animations to encompasses all possible NPC reactions. Have I forgotten something?

Looks very cool! Congrats and good luck with the launch!

Performance holding up okay with ~24 enemies patrolling a scene 👌 more than I need for the game play I have in mind but nice to know I can have 10 vs 10 battles if I wanted! Can't wait to get my human character in to test a battle in the streets! ⚔️

Going for an even crunchier look by upping the dithering and reducing the colors. Should I go even crunchier 😆🍪

Not too sure how I feel about my new NPC humanoid textures. 🤔 Never sure whether to go all in on the crunchiness or smooth things out a little...

Exactly! Enemies can spot the player based on their distance, their perception attribute and whether the player is in darkness or light.

Implemented a Thief inspired light indicator to help players know when they are in darkness, dim light, or bright light. 💡

Lego, So useful for so many things!

The visuals are something I have been battling, trying to get a gritty look I am happy with. Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot :)

😆 Planning on having different odor profiles. Showers/baths will reset it to natural. Perfumes for high society are good for charisma but bad for dungeons. Fighting sewer slime's may have detrimental effects on your personal hygiene and social standing.

Thanks! Some times I think I Haven't made them gritty enough! Glad to know the visuals are having the right effect :)

Got to shake things up somehow! 😉

Stealth game play in Legends of Rahnok coming along nicely. Players will need to be mindful of light sources, noisy terrain, and err... how strong their body odor is... 🥷💩

Me: Finishes coding elaborate stealth system and enemy AI.
Sewer Rat: "Hmm. must have been the wind.."

Very nice! Is the lighter dirt where the sprinklers do not reach?

Thank you!

Thanks! Had a peek at Twitter/X after a long hiatus. Signing up here actually felt like coming home.
