Manala's demo on Steam got a major visual update today.
All previously placeholder genAI visuals have been replaced with real art: room backgounds, camp environments, NPCs
Terrain of the game now uses ortophotos and landscape data from the area where the LARP that inspired Manala actually takes place
Demo scope has been limited down from 18 areas to 3, but the number of rooms has decreased only to about 33% since player camps are now larger
The in-game navigation map is updated to provide a better overview of where you are located
Duels now take place on the hillside of the Fort in the demo, instead of in the room where the defender is located
Improved camp tour has been added to introduce first-time LARPers to the world
Mouse cursors replaced
Play the demo and if you like it, wishlist the game to tell me it's worth continuing the work:
