Development Update #17

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone,

In February the environment art for E3M4 - Palace of Memories was completed. Work also began on E3M2 - Temple of Hidden Ways.

Code

Some code was also worked on, fixing a bug where if an AI was instantly killed, would not alert nearby enemies of their death. (who knew the dead don't talk).

E3M4 - Palace of Memories

Here are some of the caves that are below the Morsgoroth infrastructure the player will navigate through.

Once you have arrived in the central area, you will need to navigate to this Teleport room which will give you access to Titan's Teleportation Lab, inside the Lazarus Lab.

Once inside the labs you'll use the Teleporters the TEC Scientists have been studying, to teleport back to the Palace, which will give you access to other areas.

Here is a little look at the secret pathway to the secret level - E3M8 - The Black Vault.

The temple that is visible from most of the level is where you need to go, to exit the level. But you will need to release the blood locks to open the gate.

E3M2 - Temple of Hidden Ways

E3M2 is a temple sitting on a lake of lava, which also flows throughout the level. You will need to solve some puzzles to figure out how to lower the lava, which will reveal more of the level and make your way down to the exit.

The Abyssals have enslaved the Morsgoroths thousands of years ago, which had an impact on their way of life and culture. To preserve their remaining culture, they hid pathways to various temples and cities away from them. This level has one such hidden path way, hidden beneath the lava, which you will use to transport to E2M3/4 which demonstrates their warrior culture.

This area is the spawn room for E3M2.

The starting section of the level is a small temple that is only accessed via floating platforms.

Once you have access to the floating platforms you can take an optional detour to this combat arena.

The entrance to main temple.

Here is the central hub for the level (unfinished art) which has 2 side areas, and 2 levels of lower areas that are revealed once the lava is lowered.

This is the area on the Northern side.

The Southern area.

This is a secret area that is only accessible once you have progressed in lowering the lava in the central area.
