SHADOWKEEPER: Eye of the Beholder inspired Dungeon Crawler

[JackAsser]

We're working hard to get things done for the promo video. The engine has been refactored into a deferred renderer now which makes it less polygon dependant, so we can have much more dynamic lights etc. Also a javascript interpreter has been incorporated to be used to implement the puzzles and general high level game play. This will also be accessible from the editor allowing you to create complex puzzles or tricky AI f.e.

Stay tuned!

One of our milestones has been reached. The script engine to control the levels is now working and makes it very easy to create complex puzzles and interesting dynamic environments. A current simple test was to create a proximity sensor that detects when the party is close to a gate and automatically open that gate as long as the party is within reach.

This tech together with the very versatile 3D engine makes it a very general dungeon crawler platform that lets us easy change and adapt the game play depending on test outcome etc.

Stay tuned for screen shots and promo videos. They're next in the pipe so that we can start pitch a crowd funding project to get the funds for the remaining graphics and music!

Thanks Andreas for keeping you updated a little while I went through 2 month of an unnecessary financial and personal low, that was luckily temporary, but unnerving and time consuming.

Back to the game, from the start I had the bad idea of a huge overworld with city, cemetery and woods and while they are still in, all the problems (with view distances, lighting etc.) kicked in also I was sure I thought of clever workarounds for them. This took time and we are still not happy with the looks, so I am reluctant to post screens.

No apologies for being slow, this is no paid full time job. So we are changing to a more "when it's done" attitude and the crowdfunding will happen closer to a foreseeable end date. All I can promise - we'll post the single takes of our huge pitch video here as they come.
