  TCCU Roadmap Announcement

  Hello, everyone!It has been some time since I've last posted on here, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm still working on the project and update 0.54 is almost ready. As posted in both Discord and on the discussion page, I had come across a slight issue with my physical RAM not being enough for the almighty UE 5.6 :PWell, in due time, that will be solved! After I fix up my PC, I will need to verify the assets and all that before I start cooking and then packaging. I'm sure that there will be more hiccups along the way, but I'll take care of those ASAP.As shown in the cover image, below is the roadmap for both 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2026. A lot has already been done for 0.54, and there will be some tweaks and touch-ups for the latest map in 0.55.The big issue that I've been trying to solve is the multiplayer, which I believe that a more suited programmer would be able to help out than having to do it myself. So, I'll put that aside until I can pull together a budget.That's all for now, but please stay tuned as I will also be working on the YouTube channel for this game to showoff the characters, skills, and more!

  Minor Patch

  I just realized that the healing spells from Milgrir weren't actually healing at all ːtscryingːGot that fixed right quick, but please let me know if there's anything ya'll come across. There's a bit more lighting in Tormin's Tomb, so now it doesn't feel so dark.More fixes and slight changes will be coming in as the weeks go by. As you may, or may not, know is that I'm working full time and have a family to be with. This game is a nice "little" side project that I hope to make turn into my next and final full time focus (with family still being #1, of course:)).If you wish to keep in touch, then feel free to join the Discord channel or post in the Discussions.

  Update 0.53

  Hello, everyone!It's been a (long) while since there's been an update and I did state that I would do this whenever multiplayer was ready. However, the focus on getting multiplayer stalled this update to the point where I had to move on without this feature. Multiplayer isn't out of the picture, just put to the side.Build 0.53 NotesFixes:Combat animationsAdded Refraction VFX to playable characters' melee attacksAdded drag and drop VFX to KeysAdded voice SFX to playable characters' skills and spellsWhen used, doors will open according to the type of key usedDoors that should rotate 90 degrees are now able to do soRenamed the "Spawner Name" for the silver/gold pilesAdjusted Health/Mana potion valuesTreasure chests will unload items upon interactionJust about any item can be automatically picked up. This is still WIP.Every weapon and shield before pickup now rotate and are adjustedAlmost every dropped food ingredient rotates, I stopped doing this because it got tedious lol...Every Health/Mana/Stat potion rotates and provides a SFX upon pickupEvery food item rotates and provides a SFX upon pickup (most of which are placeholders)Enemy attack animations slowed downEnemies will display hit animation only when being dealt critical damageGlossary button and feature is WIPFixed Most of Mia's movement animationsPlayers will always be sprinting (No need to hold down Shift key)Redesigned Merchant's Path mapRedesigned Harver Stronghold mapNeed to fix:Tormin's Tomb missing assetsTormin's Tomb fix enemy placementAdd music to Castle Ruins floorsMoving a "leveled up" weapon from inventory to Personal Stash will cause the weapon to lose all levelsMultiplayer still doesn't work >:/

  Build 0.52 is Live!

  Build 0.52 NotesFixed portals. Yay!Fixed items for each chest type so that the key needed to open them is matched as well as the rarity of the items.Created a new quest-giving NPC, "Korve", who has a bone to pick with you.Fixed a couple of Keige's quests so that the enemies are matched with the right dungeon.Enemies can no longer drop keys! You'll have to find each one in the game, but I made sure to have the Bronze Key easy enough to find. You're welcome.Blood/Bone SFX added to both basic 1H and 2H melee attacks.(Placeholder) VFX weapon hit added to both basic 1H and 2H melee attacks.Added (Placeholder) VFX weapon trails to basic 1H and 2H melee attacks.(Placeholder) VFX added to melee skills of the following adventurers: Selene, Folkaar, Sasuke, Feos, Wilvia(Placeholder) VFX added to ranged spells of the following adventurers: Bruix, MiaSkeleton enemies given (Placeholder) VFX to their melee attacks. Skeletons given more attack anims.Moved the widget that contains enemy info accordingly to the height of the enemy.(Placeholder) VFX/SFX for Mia's "Frozen Tomb" skill (which can be unlocked at level 25).(Placeholder) VFX/SFX for Mia's "Blizzard" skill (which can be unlocked at level 50).Known issues:Respawning in Merchants Path map can send you to a random spawner on that map.Loading times is still an ongoing problem as it appears to take longer than usual.Certain attacks can cause the game to stutter when used for the first time.Enemies don't respond accordingly when attacked first.Shader compiler appears to be frozen during its process (but it is still working!)Next build will have (most likely) combat being polished, as I want to make that more fluid and fun.
