Progress Update: New Character Designs and Dragon King Tower

Greeting:

Hello every one it is great to be back and it feels really good to be back in the swing of things. Since the last news post I have been hard at work adding new content to the game and fixing bugs and little things that were on the GIANT to do list that I have for the game. I wont get in to the little things because honestly they are not that interesting but needed to get done but the 2 new additions of content have me excited and they are the Shop Keeper character designs that I have done and the new Dragon King Tower. All of which is still a work in progress but stage one is done and I am happy with it.

Shop Keeper Character Designs:

So the shop keepers are what I call any NPC in the Sanctuary that you talk to for a reason like buying weapons or entering arena matches. I have now finished the first drafts of the character designs for all the shop keeper characters, all tho by the time I got to the last one I was thinking of ways to change them so the second go around will more then likely be drastically different. But that is why is it a good idea to do drafts because with me at least it helps flush out the ideas and then you can make changes.

Place Holders:

Also since I am not an artist and have not had the time to make 3d character models for use in the game (and the face that the designs are not final), I instead decided to use the 2d images as place holders in the game so you can see who you are talking to. It is far from perfect but as a place holder it is working very well.

Dragon King Tower:

Dragon king tower is a building in the 1st District that is the home of the Dragon King who is a boss AAU. For now the tower has 4 levels but the final version will have 20. At the top of the tower you find the King is a holding container that you need to release him from using buttons around the level. This is by far the hardest of the Quests currently in the game and in the video I made of it I am using 2 of the most powerful RIG weapons currently in the game, just to give you an idea. I had a lot of fun making this tower and think it turned out very well.

As I mentioned I made a play through video of this but technically it is 2 videos as I died in the the first one just before getting to the king so I made a second video and cut them together. I hope you enjoy I really like how this is turning out.
