Life in the Guild 21

28 Mar, 2020

Hello Hunters!

The Guildmaster had urgent business to take care of and thus I have taken upon myself to relay what has been going on in the Guild recently. It has been a long time since we last spoke so this was bound to happen sooner or later.

The new training methods seem to bear fruit and now every attack of our guild members is supremely viscous. They draw blood with every strike and if one is skillful enough or just massacres continuously, they can color their surroundings red or green or whatever flows inside these undead beings.

Humans tend to have deep crimson blood and so amidst combat one should be careful of not spilling too much of their own. However, this should be pretty clear to most of you by now so there is no need for further discussion.

The artisans have created yet another mighty set of weapons to vanquish our foes. The broadswords much like the long axes are wielded in one hand and can be swung much quicker than the great axe.

Every guild member receives meticulous training in all manners of combat thus no matter if it is a great axe, dual blades or a single broadsword they need to use they will face no difficulties!

Some ancient plans and manuscripts describing the formulation of magical trinkets have been found as well and the artisans are in the process of untangling the intricacies of each one of these tomes.

Apart from the deadly weapons these trinkets will serve as another form of aid during battle. You have already seen the rings and there will be other types of loot to collect through your adventures. As for the various boons and enhancements they offer that’s up to the standards of the craftsmanship and you will have inspect each of them if you wish to make the most out of your equipment!

I hope that by the next occasion the Guildmaster will be back but no one truly knows what he aims to do, not even I. In the meantime, hone your skills and take care of each-other!

Hello everyone!

The artisans (devs) speaking. Thank you for following the development of DEADHUNTERS and we hope you will stay with us on this journey in the future as well. This is a marathon for our small dev team but we strive to make it look as interesting as possible! We don’t like to break the fourth wall in these posts but we thought we should clarify some things.

As all of you are well aware the global corona virus situation is escalating and in our country we have been asked to relocate back into our homes. Therefore, we have switched to a home office setup and have started to get used to this new situation. After settling in completely we hope that the development shall continue as per usual.

The development of DEADHUNTERS stared during the summer of 2017 so we have been working on the game for roughly 2,5 years by now. Making quality video games takes time both because higher quality assets need more time to complete but also because designs evolve as we move on. For example, the gore effects we have just upgraded.

Obviously considering that we are just two guys making this it becomes even more important to understand what can be done in a reasonable time and what is simply impossible for us. We thought about this numerous times and came to the conclusion time and time again that we should seek some form of funding. Well, for half a year we have contacted several publishers and none of them believed we could make this thing happen.

We thought of doing a Kickstarter as well, but it is not possible from our country and we didn’t want to do a crowdfunding campaign in the first place because from then on communication would take up a significant amount of time, which we don’t have.

In conclusion, we decided to rent an office and focus on developing an Early Access version of the game. This means that we are essentially burning our own savings to get the game ready as soon as possible. After the Early Access launch we strongly believe that the game will finance the development and maybe we could even hire some freelancers to help. Naturally this means that the development of the game will last for a long time and features will be added as we move on. Right now our goal is to have a Single player experience ready with all major systems working. This way you would get a complete grasp of the game and also it is always easier to expand on stable foundations!

Thank you for reading through all this text and we hope you will stay with us on our journey in making DEADHUNTERS a truly great game!

Life in the Guild 20

Hello Hunters!

Time flows fast and here we are merely a month later. Now that the immediate situation of the Guild has been resolved we could happily carry on with our daily tasks. For instance, Tok ventured forth and charted the surroundings. Which might not seem challenging however they change once he returns to the Guild.

Well, at least he has his hands full and maybe if everything goes well he will also be able to set up camp once in a while! There is also a handful of other events to discuss, like the artisans who have created yet another set of weaponry for the Guild.

These axes will come in handy when dealing with enemies single handedly. The wielder can attack faster with them albeit for less damage. The true professionals of the field not only know how to handle these arms but also when to use each one of them.

On the other hand, we heard from various members of the Guild that our methods are not vicious enough. Well, some additional blood has never hurt anyone so from now on the training of Deadhunters will focus heavily on chipping off bones and making gib chunks fly far away. We hope that soon you will see the results of our efforts as well.

Given that the situation at hand with the Bloodmage has resolved itself. We I decided that it was time to focus more on training and less on fighting. Unless we are powerful enough we will not be able to contend with the Cult of the Dead.

Fret not, sooner or later the day will come when our fragile peace treaty shatters. It will be the day to display the results of superior training, all devised by me! I am very confident that if I lend a helping hand everything will go well. Now if only I remembered where I put my notes I wouldn’t need to improvise during every session.

Oh well, structure is less important than integrity and as you can tell by now, I’m a man of not only superior intellect but integrity as well! Alas, I must go now because I forgot that the training should have started 2 hours ago. I better hurry before things get out of hand or there is no one left on the training field...

Life in the Guild 19

Hello Hunters!

Our guild has been through a lot lately and we couldn’t sit down for a good eye to eye recently. We are, I mean I am very sorry and hope that you will still listen to our my stories about the past months.

It all began with our grand excursion to the Northern Lands, it was the first time we had to travel such a great distance and making sure that everything would be alright and nobody would have to sleep on the streets proved to be a challenge. Even if Ago is sort of used to sleeping wherever he can, I believed it would’ve shed a dark beam of pity on our Grand Guild if a member had to stay outdoors. So I packed some warm blankets for him and all was well!

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find enough recruits to call our venture a success. Our only loot is a plaque that hangs at the side of our guild store. Well, even if the adventure wasn’t successful there are still things to rejoice about, such as: everybody survived!

After returning the Guild held its annual winter celebrations, which involves giving presents to one another. Some members got more than others, like me for it was mandatory strongly advised for everyone to humor me. Another person who got a lot of presents was Ago, although his consisted of various kicks and punches after he cheated everyone two times in a row during the local Guine Swine betting championship. Which is a story for another time…

The greatest event of the past few months however is sure to be the relocation of the whole guild. I felt it was bound to happen sooner or later and with the new year the plan was set in motion. By now everybody has found their place and all is well. Even better actually than it was before! One of the artisans has a magical workbench that can lift up or down depending on his desires.

With the new headquarters the guild’s image had to be changed as well. Take a look at the latest designs and please share your thoughts!

As for the way forward, the artisans are hard at work on mass producing various items of loot and they are constantly muttering about some sort of narrative and choice driven campaign …

Now that I mention I have not heard any muttering for nearly 3 months maybe I’m finally cured and the Voice is gone, for real!

This is it for now, expect more in about a month or so!

Ps.
The admirable Bloodmage has come to an agreement with our guild, which is definitely not why his face can be seen on our latest designs!

Again coop game limited to 4 players?

Some say this is the most "optimized" setting for cooperation game. I say it's the easiest and most convenient way to design balanced characters and levels, but not the best. Com'on, it's more than a decade since L4D established some sort of standard for coop games. 90% of coop games since then are made with a limit of 4 players. I really think it's time to step up and expand the box, and take care of the players who has slightly bigger group of gaming buddies. A game like this should not be too hard to tw...
