NETHERQUEST demo version 0.83b has been released! Thanks to those who have tried it out and offered feedback. The newest update improves on previous versions by adding about 15 more hours of playtime for the thorough adventurer. Also, we have completed the blacksmithing system, adding a mining system to go with it. A few of the more large-scale alterations to the game include:
CHARACTER CREATION INFO WINDOW
This has been something which people who have played NQ have suggested. Basically, when creating your party at the onset of the game, an info box, displaying parameter changes of the character based on the highlighted selection appears. This is true with changing race and class. This will improve the player's ability to design and create the party he/she wants.
COMBAT BONUS CHAINS
Although this does not alter the calculations of NQ damage, the player is now made aware of bonuses given on each strike they make in combat. For instance, if a player character uses a fire spell, many factors go into making the full damage of the attack. Attacker's intelligence, Spell's damage, Caster's position on the battlefield, armor class rating of defender, defender's fire resistance, etc. Now, these things are made visible to the player in a window that shows a new bonus whenever it is added to the calculation.
Be sure to report bugs, concerns, suggestions. Also, post some screenshots! Ask some questions about a specific part of the game. I'd be glad to respond to any of these things.
Most of all, if you're playing, keep at it! The stars are out there!
