  Update Friday #7

  Happy Friday! Lots of updates to NPC and Hero behavior and tweaks all over. NPCs now fear zombies if not armed and flee. This also allowed me to replace the blind effect with a fear effect. When using the purple orb ability, stacks now cause fear. Within the simulation, NPCs produce Food for bring in more people. They also collect Wood, Ore, Mana, and Gold to produce Weapons and Spells. To give players insight into the Overseer, he picks heroes to spawn based on the resource balance. Players can see in the Seed Menu what parts of the economy are changing to weigh their impact or make an educated guess as to what to target next or which talents would be more valuable on the next time change. As a heads up, I am moving next week so my aim is a patch to clean up minor things over a full update. Regardless, once settled on the other side, expect full updates again. Updates:Sim resource generation math has been simplified based on player's perspective. The four basic materials are generated when NPCs check in with their appropriate building. Weapons and Spells are considered the advanced resources and take a couple of building interactions to start producing. Root logic has been split to prioritize actor layer over sim layer. This ensures Heroes remain outside of the simulation but are able to be risen as zombies. Blind has been replaced by Fear. Bug Fixes:Zombies failed to attack NPCsHeroes often attacked NPCsNPCs that are unarmed flee from ZombiesSimulated economy is producing all materials in balanceOverseer is spawning heroes by resource amountDeath effect is being removed on Undead effect applicationWhen Undeath is applied, Zombies regain 50% of their healthI hope you enjoy the update and greatly appreciate you taking the time to check out Defi's Devotion! Have a fantastic week and happy infecting!

  Saturday Morning Quick Fix

  Discovered last night that the Seed menu spawners were not working so this morning I got them fixed! Now when you ask the seed to spawn a root it spawns it directly in the simulation and the other systems pick up spawning the actor. This also allowed me to test more reliably those latter systems. Previously the NPCs had only an unreliable way to know their status from the simulation. This worked out when they spawned far away most of the time. Now that they can also spawn on top of you, I added in a reliable way to react to the simulated status. Last note, I am toying with starting off with a couple corpses in the Seed's bank. Give it a whirl and we can see how it affects the beginning steps. Bug Fixes: Spawn Root and Spawn Zombie functionality restored Actor reflecting the simulated NPC status is reliable Thank you so much for checking out Defi's Devotion and have a fantastic day!

  Update Friday #6

  Hi folks! As you may have noticed, I have been pushing patches and not posting patch notes; I am sorry, life has been very busy. My focus is on moving the game forward which is why I keep patches rolling but sometimes the notes don't get a timeslot. With that said, lots to check out this time around.Major overhaul of the simulation now that Hero communication is getting online. The NPCs now have no desire to attack the Seed but will note it's sighting to let any Heroes know when they come by. Roots and Zombies spawned by the Seed menu are now spawned in the simulation and will look for corpses. Infection within the building and NPCs was spreading far too quickly before. There were many feedback loops that were far too powerful to keep the simulation meaningful. Now the simulation has proper flows and control over the time of day. This allows for the NPCs to follow daily routines and shift the pacing along the way. More updates to come :) Thank you for checking out Defi's Devotion.

  Update Friday #5

  Happy Friday! The Blood and Shock basic abilities have been completely overhauled. The Blood ability now dashes the character forward and does damage to all characters the blood mist touches. The Shock ability is now a shield that you can apply to any character or if none are hit, it will apply to yourself. This shield not only helps against single target projectiles but also does damage periodically to the enemy characters nearby. Some other modifications were made to the freeze ability; it now heals zombies. Haunt now passes through targets making it hit everything in the path. This improves building damage reliability and hurting crowds. Still making progress on putting in charge of displaying the impacts you have on the world. Cleaned up all the zombie abilities and the input mapping while possessing. Now every weapon has three abilities on it. Basic Ability Changes:Blood - Dash forward harming enemies on contact Bleed Debuff - When triggered, it attracts the seed or zombies if nearby Freeze - Heals zombies Haunt - Orb passes through and triggers damage on all enemies along the path Shock - Apply a shield to another character or yourself that does damage periodically to nearby enemiesBugs Fixed:Death and Undeath should appropriately replicate to clients after reconnecting Talent tree is now sorted for consistent placement Roots look for corpses far more reliably Thank you for checking out Defi's Devotion!

  Update Friday #4

  Hello folks,What a week!? We have more updates! The Haunt ability was getting complicated and still didn't feel good to use so I have stripped the push pull of infection and health because it already blinds but also made the effect more engaging. Now you select two points and a ball of energy flies through damaging and adding stacks for a killer blind. It also triggers building damage with Infect. Have a great weekend! Modified Abilities:Haunt - Summon an entity that travels in a straight-line blinding foes.Bleed - Infect on-hit and damage overtime after stacks build. More refinement coming.Bug Fixes:Simulation NPC Pathfinding doesn't get stuck as easily. Thank you very much for following the development of Defi's Devotion. Good luck on your path to immortality.
