Ugh, finally

So, here I am, 9 days into isolation, and I can finally think well enough to code.  I have my inventory working well enough to equip items.

Still, of course very, very pre-alpha assets for it, but they it functions!  And you can’t see the torch on that side, as the torch is equipped in the other hand.  Next is a bit more pruning, so that only items that can be equipped in that slot show up.  Because, that shield is not going to work in your primary hand (at least for now).

Black Diary Remake Chapter One [Pre-Alpha release]

I’ve been working on remaking the original Black Diary for a number of years (off and on. Very off and on. Mostly off.)

I’ve finally decided to start fresh with a new story, still very similar to the original, new character look and backgrounds.

Also this new page. All future development will be updated through here.

The Pre-Alpha is available now. It contains the first 10 minutes of the story. Still follows most of the same beats as the original, but the character, now named Natalia has a very different outlook than her original self.

Check it out when you can!

Mythaura Speculations/Early Headcanons questionare

How long is the lifespan of each beast? 

Do they live in clans, packs or flocks? 

Are there any major size differences between different species?

What kind of magic exists in the universe? (element control, necromancy, healing magic...)

Do dragons breathe only fire or also other additional elements? (ice, venom, raw magic)

Are unicorns magical? What kind of magic they can use?

How about kirins and quetzals? 

Or creatures that aren’t typically known as magical? 

Are dragons known to hoard treasure? Or does it depend on the individual?

Do non-sentient beasts exist in the universe? 

Are there humans in the universe?

Are hybrids frown upon?

Shields

So, there I was, thinking “Wow, I really should have said something else to add to Pre-Alpha 3, this one has basically gone by with 8 hours of work.” and then I remembered.  Wait...  Shields...

So, quick Shield model, because at this point, I kind of just want it to exist, yeah.  Since this is going to be a coding project now!

Also, I’ve elected to not make spear animations, given I’m planning on reworking the humanoid mesh soon.  If I need to re-animate it anyways, I’m not particularly interested since it would need a new stance.  I am a bit surprised that it’s going through the hand though.  I’ll fix that with the new models as well, by not having them come out of that bone.

The shield is absolutely cheated in, I was just testing scale a bit.  I think it’s a good size.  Shields are probably going to add a ton of complexity to item generation down the line, because I want them to be fancy, with a ton of variety in appearance, so I’ll probably need to get things set up for certain parts to only generate when others are already generated.  That’ll be fun when I get to it.
