July Update RoR Crafting & Lightsaber system

[Logan23 205]

Hey everyone

 

Time for another update:

 

 

The Demo is close to release, we are just doing a few final tweaks and the opening movie is close to the final version for the Demo.

 

I have been working on the content for the Act1; we are still moving full force ahead in the game’s production.

 

 

 

 

Crafting in Revenge of Revan:

 

There will be some crafting in RoR which will be centered around the idea of taking existing armor as well as new skinned armor and crafting them to allow the PC to wear along with using the Force.

 

Allowing this we have decided that the armor would have a lower defense or bonus to help balance the setup which allows the PC to use all Force powers while wearing it. This will allow players to go through RoR without feeling forced to always be a Robe wearing Jedi/Dark Jedi.

 

There will be some hidden armors that will allow the PC to use the Force while wearing them without the use of the crafting skill but these are few and hard to find.

 

Let us know your feed back on this topic.

 

 

 

 

Lightsaber Creation and Progression System:

 

Thanks to Kuai-Donn Jorn for his great hilt and hard work and passion for this project and feature. We have been working on how this system will work with hilt progression in the area of skins and hilt models. Here below is a pic of a sample progression from the Level 1 to the third Level in this progression style. You can see the hilt evolves as you gain levels and progress in this one style.

Journal Entries and Trust System:

 

The Trusts system has been shifted to the Quest items section which will have a number given which will express the Level of Trust your Companion has for you. This will keep the player from looking through the Journal entries to find the Trust level per companion plus this will allow more diversity.

 

Journal entries have been split into two sections one is the normal kotor2 typical Quest based journal entries but we will also what we call Personal Journal Notes.

 

These Personal Journal Notes will be quest items which represent notes based on Player’s choices as in a form of a diary. These are not Quest focus but might be for example….

 

 

“My first meeting with the Bounty Hunter Prime unfortunately led to the Madam of the Massage Den being killed.”

 

 

 

 

These events will allow myself the designer to easily do a check on this event and could have a situation occur or a NPC react to this event. Players will now be able to see how each play through can become more and more diverse and see how these small choices can lead to opportunities as well as other interactions which would not be if this Personal Journal Note is present or not present.

 

The player’s journey is more then simple quests but the choices you make even the small ones will shape your experience and give you a feeling that there is something new to discover or see in your next play through.

 

 

 

I have some images for you guys.

I love the new Bastila robe. Kaila looks interesting, kind of like a cross between Mission and Mira... Cool stuff.

I love Bastila's hair. I can't wait to see what you've done for other returning characters.
