Another week of Elegon development is underway, with some great quality-of-life improvements alongside updates to combat, bosses, the Compendium, equipment and animations. AoE Looting Is Here One of the biggest quality-of-life additions this week is AoE looting . When several nearby creatures have loot available, you'll now be able to collect their items together rather than looting every creat…
Added a new creature, The Stag! · Improved the visual effects of the fog on the map UI · Minimap view is now more zoomed out and shows more of the surrounding area · Improvements to Audio Manager system · Add new hover UI sound FX · Reduced the volume of quest pickup and complete sound FX
Enhanced Chat System In the past, we had a pretty simple global chat where everyone was just talking in one big room. Now, you can switch between channels using commands like /g for global chat and /w for whisper. You can also type out the full command like /global or /whisper if you prefer. The system will also remember which channel you were last chatting in, and you can reply to the latest w…
Tab Targeting now only selects enemies in front of you (within a 120° cone). · Your current target’s nameplate is now highlighted, making it much easier to distinguish from nearby enemies. · You can now target enemies by clicking directly on their floating nameplate. Previously you had to click on the enemy’s body, but both methods now work. · You can also cycle backwards through available targ…
You can now pick from several screen resolutions to run the game at. This will help alot with proformance for players (like me) who are using a 4K monitor and just want to run the game at 2k for example.
Added a setting to enable/disable SSAO · Modified in game lighting settings to improve performance without losing fidelity · Fixed a bug where Mages could still auto attack while casting a spell · Recall is now set to action button 24 by default when starting a new character I hope you enjoy this little update, I'd expect to see a 20% performance increase (more if disabling SSAO).
This past week I've been mainly focusing on cleaning up the animations in Elegon as well any many more improvements. New video with more details releasing tomorrow!
With this update, quests will now be fully persistent. This means you can start working on a quest objective, logout and when you log back in later - you'll be just where you left off. This is all part of building the foundation for our quest system and you can expect to see many more quest and quest chains being added shortly! This update also adds the addition of SSAO (Thank you for the sugge…
I've added a small FPS counter to the bottom left of the in-game UI. This should help us ensure the client is staying performant as the project grows! I've also done some work to increase FPS and I've been seeing around a 40% improvement so far. Performance is something I'll always be improving but this update should make a big difference if you were getting low FPS before!
Added a sound effect for opening/closing UI elements in game (Spell book, Bags, Equipment Panel) · You can now rotate your characters on the character select screen as well as the character create screen! · Tweaked theme of auth login page - Dark mode · Adjusted in game lighting and fog · Chat will now become less transparent when you're chatting
In this update, I’ve removed the option to log in with an anonymous account. While it was helpful initially, it unfortunately made it too easy for bad actors to gain access. From now on, you can log in using your preferred authentication provider, currently Email and Discord are supported. This was an update I always planned to implement, and I’m glad to have proper player accounts in place mov…
