Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

After the Toulouse Game Show (more on that later), I had quite some feedback and bug reports so I corrected many things on the demo. So, after many fixes…<\/p>\n

Here is a new demo of A Thief’s Melody<\/b>, a 3D cartoon adventure\/stealth game with a contemplative atmosphere, <\/b>somewhere between “Zelda” and “Beyond Good and Evil”. <\/b>Don’t hesitate to test\/share\/reblog\/comment\/like if you want to help me.<\/p>\n

Install Notes<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Linux<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:
    \nchmod +x aThiefsMelody.*<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Mac OS<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Haha… I didn’t test on Mac, because I don’t have a Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows\/Linux system anyway.
      \nSo, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what’s wrong (or what’s right, hopefully \ud83d\ude09 ), you’re most welcome!<\/p>\n

      What’s new since the last demo?<\/h3>\n

      You have to know the demo quests are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics\/sound\/music enhancement.<\/p>\n

      Since May 2018, lots of improvements have been done:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Redesign of some objects (Link, Bo, …)<\/li>\n
      • Redesign of secondary characters (Lia, Tal, Clarisse, Archibald, Reno and more to come…)<\/li>\n
      • Redesign of the main character: now he has a little belt floating in the wind, he can look at interesting things when you pass near them, all animations have been recreated and there are a few new ones, among which a roll move after each jump, which really smoothes the gameplay. Some more will come, this work is not finished yet.<\/li>\n
      • Redesign of HUD targeting icons<\/li>\n
      • you can know center the map on the character<\/li>\n
      • Already spoken dialogs now appear on a different color (not sure if I’ll keep it or not…)<\/li>\n
      • All characters now have hand drawn avatars appearing during dialogs<\/li>\n
      • The Thief Guild and Pirate Warehouse levels have their own musical themes<\/li>\n
      • The main title is now animated<\/li>\n
      • The pirate warehouse has been massively re-designed<\/li>\n
      • I’ve removed the shield, its gameplay was very unbalanced and unintuitive. This makes fights more risky than before.<\/li>\n
      • A little tutorial has been added for handling Asclepios fruits<\/li>\n
      • Many little fixes here and there, dialog and descriptions fixed and improved, more details, … But I still have a lot of work on these!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        What’s broken ?<\/h3>\n

        You didn’t expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I’m aware of a few bugs\/regressions\/problems:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Controls are displayed in English, whatever language you choose.<\/li>\n
        • Spanish is not implemented yet (even if it is choosable in the options)<\/li>\n
        • Some assets still need work to be done or polished (Audio, Graphics, UI, Dialogs, …)<\/li>\n
        • Some areas are still a bit empty<\/li>\n
        • The game seems a bit dark on some devices, especially with high quality graphics that handle shadow casting. It might be some gamma issue, I’ll have to check this out.<\/li>\n
        • Under Linux, it seems the keyboard controls sometimes get “stuck” for a few seconds… I know it’s a crazy thing to say, but it might work better with a Xbox controller :p<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Have fun! Peace!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
