  Weekly Update #129: Items Submenu

  Hey all! Selecting 'Items' from the Action Wheel will bring you to this new menu, allowing you to inspect the unit's inventory, use consumable items such as crystals or potions, and switch equipped weapons or armor with equipment held in the inventory. It's built to be compact and efficient, much like the skills submenu.With this update, we'll now be taking a break from weekly updates for the next month. We'll be working hard through October to cut down on our backlog of critical tasks, like I explained last week, and should have some awesome new stuff to show off when we come back. Look forward to our grand return on November 5th!

  Weekly Update #128: Colour Customization

  Hey all! Are you tired of the colour blue? Wish you could customize the colours of Crystal Horizons to your liking? Well, now you can! We've set up a new settings page to handle colour customization. You'll be able to set the colour used for each unit team in the game, as well as a colour for the overall user interface. Simply navigate to the settings page and select which colours you would like from a preset list.Not everything is hooked up to the new system yet, but you can expect that almost everything will be affected by the colour you set. Of course, you can always just leave the colours at their default value, which would be my recommendation, but in my opinion it's better to have too many choices as opposed to too few. I've provided a couple of screenshots showcasing how the colours are applied so you can get an idea of how it would look.Now, I've got one quick announcement to share. Throughout the month of October, we will be pausing the weekly updates so we can focus completely on finishing up some very important tasks. While the updates are awesome for sharing progress, having to have something prepared for every week has taken a lot of dev time over the years away from other more difficult tasks. It's great that we can show that we're still working actively on the game, but we need a little time to lock in without distractions.Next week's update (October 1st) will be the last update before the break. From then on, we'll be relatively quiet as we smash through our critical task backlog, before returning on November 5th. If all goes well, we should have some really cool things to share at that time, but we'll have to wait and see! Thanks for tuning in!

  Weekly Update #127: Base Classes and Advanced Classes

  Hey all! Today I want to briefly talk about class progression, and how certain classes are accessed over the course of the game. While we do allow you to change a unit's class very freely, the list of classes that a unit has access to will start smaller and expand over time as you gain more ranks in different classes.Essentially, we have a distinction between 'base' classes, which any unit can switch to at any time, and 'advanced' classes, which require experience in certain classes, or other special requirements to be met. Don't be misled by the names we've given them; advanced classes aren't necessarily stronger than base classes. Every one of our classes are designed to be competitive throughout the duration of the game. Advanced classes, however, often have more complex or specialized kits, which can make them stronger in certain situations.Most of the planned base classes have been revealed already, such as Knight, Lumimancer, Archer, Thief and Pyromancer. Advanced classes that we've revealed include Berserker, Enchanter and Templar. These classes will be inaccessible to a unit unless they have reached a certain class rank on specific classes. For example, accessing Templar requires reaching rank 5 in Lumimancer and rank 3 in Knight.Advanced classes will not appear on the reclass menu initially, but once one of the unlock conditions has been met we'll provide a hint, such as a silhouette, which should encourage players to experiment and discover advanced classes naturally. We've tried to ensure that prerequisite classes make sense where possible, like with Templar incorporating aspects of both the Knight and Lumimancer classes (high survivability, heavy armor/weapons and light magic). Of course, this is all still in development, so most of it is subject to change, especially the unlock requirements for classes.

  Weekly Update #126: Beach Day?

  Hey all! Just a little teaser image today; maybe some of you will recognize it from somewhere? It almost makes me wish we had some kind of fishing minigame in Crystal Horizons. Almost.

  Weekly Update #125: The Action Wheel

  Hey all! As I briefly mentioned last week, I've also been looking into replacing the top level of the action menu, where actions such as Move, Attack, Skills and End Turn are found. While it's still a work in progress, here's a look at how that's shaping up!We're temporarily using some vaguely relevant status icons until we finish designing the final icons for this menu, so some of them might seem like odd choices, but rest assured that we'll be swapping them out with icons that better fit the menu. Look forward to seeing more of it once we have it done!
