Please visit our Releases page on GitHub here for update information: https://github.com/Level6-ManchesterMet-SCMDT/Resplendence/releases/tag/0.0.5

Changes and Improvements From V2 of the Pre-Alpha Demo

  • A simple pause menu has been created for the prologue video that plays at the start of the game, allowing the player to skip the video or change the volume.
  • A main menu has been created, accompanied with a settings menu.
  • An introductory scene, "The Prelude", has been created, to better reflect the player character's emotions before being coronated.
  • A menu has been created that is accessible within the main game, this menu includes some detailed lore about characters, kingdoms and empires, world regions and religions. It also includes a settings menu and a map of where the player currently is in the world.
  • Bug fixes with different UI dialogs being incorrectly used.

Known Issues With This Release

  • A scene (not verbatim, "Pre-Intro") has been cut from the main game due to time constraints. The scene would let the player walk around a drawing room, and read different books about the lore in the world of Resplendence. Functionality of reading the books was implemented, but no functionality on what happens after the player reads all of the books, and assets were not created for the written contents of the books. The scene is also necessary to enhance the flow between the prelude scene and the first main game scene.
  • Functionality for lore book entries was not created due to time constraints. The idea was for the player to learn information about something, then that information would be visible in the menu. Instead, we've added some lore entries for now, which can be accessed anytime in-game.
  • When the main pause menu is accessed, the music in the background does not stop, which is something we wanted to do because the menu has its own music that plays when the player accesses it.
  • The maps in the main pause menu do not change because of issues with locating assets. The functionality for the map to change from scene to scene has been implemented, however.
