ZeddOTak 238 Posted January 3 Hey everyone! We will use this discussion to share our progress on Naïca with you. Developpers and graphic designers will answer to this post by describing & explaining the work they have done and/or what they are working on. Posts will not be published on a regular basis, it will all depend on which topics the members of the team can share (yes, it will be spoiler free so do not worry). It will be "raw discussion" which is entirely different from the DevBlogs: not long, planned articles but short posts. 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naphtaline 53 Posted January 3 I'll begin this topic then ! I am currently working on interactable objects, such as chests and harvestable items ! We are planning on having different types of opening conditions. For instance it can be with a time constraint : it means that you'll have a "casting" time to open it, but you can be interrupted on a hit. Or else you could need a consumable object to open the container, or a tool to harvest something etc... This is not an exaustive list of course, it's just some example to give you an idea of what kind of interaction you will find in the game. 18 1 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naphtaline 53 Posted January 8 Hi there ! So, today i'm working on quest completion ! There will be many ways to accomplish quests, i wanted to show you a sneak peek of the (not finished) quest interface These quest mechanics are not the most complex ones, and again this is just a small example of what you will be able to do in game. We are cooking a neat and rich quest experience for you ! See you in the next episode ! 10 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sol 38 Posted January 24 Hey there! We're busy setting everything up for the next test but I thought I'd share a little something with you! I just recently added a new fog animation on the map. It is still a work in progress so it might not be the final design. The first one you can see is at the very beginning of the map we set for the test. The second one is located at the edge, leading to the real troubles awaiting you in the future test! 10 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greglofe 18 Posted January 30 Hi! I'm Greg, I design and animate In Naica. I'll post some artworks from time to time here. Hope you will enjoy! For my first post, this is some tiles, and a view of what it will look like in the game (it's the work of Tibo, our DA). 11 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naphtaline 53 Posted January 31 Hi there! As we all know, there were some indication missing during the PvE test, we initially planned to include these littles indications later but it seems like it's way more urgent then we expected. So this week I worked a bit with Tibo, to create those indications in game. Here is a sneak peek of this system : : This is still raw, we have a lot of modification to add to this, but so far, the core mechanic is working pretty well That's it for today! See you soon! 7 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeddOTak 238 Posted March 5 Hey everyone! Here are some sketches for monster research made by @greglofe and @Sol. Most of them won't be in Naïca, but you may see some in Lazul: you'll have to keep attention! 10 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeddOTak 238 Posted March 19 A new script was written by @Naphtalineto randomize the animation time of the crystals glow in the Swamps. This way, it won't feel robotic but more organic! 2 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balayne 23 Posted March 22 Hi, I wanna show you today something we did some weeks ago. There is still work to do on it but basically trading will be like that (still Work In Progress). You take the items you wish to exchange and put them in your exchange window. Once done, you can confirm the exchange and when both players have done it, the trade proceeds. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
