Getting closer

Today the initial set of human society missions was completed, as well as most other ongoing issues. This means the only remaining things to do are:

1. Missions for Vampire and Lycanthrope societies

2. Basic Power use AI for NPC Vampires and Lycanthropes

3. Some more mission levels (done around 70, need about another 30-40).

This means a release date is getting more certain, and should be around the New Year.

The story so far

This blog is intended to keep interested parties up-to-date on the development of the Blood Secrets Game.
At the moment, the game is very near to release with a persistent world. To be specific:

THINGS DONE

  • Area navigation
  • Shopping from NPC stores
  • Getting missions from recruiters
  • Progressing through society ranks
  • Gaining experience, training abilities and skills
  • Chat in public areas
THINGS TO BE DONE BEFORE NEXT RELEASE

  • Content: so far, have only developed missions for 3 societies and composed around 20 levels. Need to develop missions for all Human, Lycanthrope and Vampire societies (Sorcerers to come later)
  • A few bits and bobs of code relating to both PC and NPC Lycanthropes and Vampires
THINGS THAT WILL NOT BE DONE UNTIL LATER RELEASES

  • Sorcerers.
  • Player merchant game. I have reasonably big plans for this.
  • Crafting.
  • Henchpersons (including hired help, summoned minions and familiars).
  • Multiple-player missions.
That is all.
