So version 0.19 of Vox has been released on Desura and IndieDB.
Here are the major new features:
- Particle effects can now be attached to ANY part of the characters body.
- Chest items that contain loot.
- Loot GUI that allows you to collect items from chests.
- New monsters - skeletons!
- Skeleton archers shoot you from a distance.
- Skelebobs chase you and try to kill your with their deadly swords.
- King Slime boss spawns when you kill too many of his little slime buddies.
- New music loop for night time.
- Random ore generation in the world, mine for your ore.
- Scenery objects randomly generated to make the world look nicer - grass/flowers.
I am going to see how this is received first and take a few days to make sure that there are not any major bugs or really annoying problems that people face. When I put out v0.18 I didnt realise it would be quite so long until I was able to update to v0.19 and there was an annoying graphics bug/crash that actually prevented a lot of people from playing too far into the game (beyond the main menu) and I was in a situation where I couldn't deploy a quickfix since I was already too far ahead into some major changes.
So I will hold off starting anything major for a couple of days just to be sure there are no showstopper bugs present in 0.19, before I get onto the exciting things I have planned for v0.20!
:P
