Dark Days : Devil Hunt Season 2 [Chapter 6]

Dark Days : Devil Hunt Prologue - Mavi Game Studios

Episode 28(Harry and the Lovely Helper)

Harry quickly turned his head towards the cave entrance, feeling the chill of hearing a human voice due to his loneliness for a long time.

The owner of the voice seemed to be a little boy not far away.

With fear and anxiety, he approached the source of the sound, taking slow and cautious steps, holding his halberd tighter.

When Harry saw what was standing in front of him, he did not hide his surprise and called out to him. This was not a person!

This creature, which looked like a small and cute red rabbit but spoke like a human, was asking for his help.

Harry:

+Who are you! How can you talk..! What are you doing here ! Or am I dreaming…!!
-No no..Please don't hurt me.My name is Charlie..

+Charlie.. I want to know who you are..Why did you come here..How can I trust you!

-Please do not misunderstand. Me and my family are a race that has been living in these mountains for years. My intention is not to harm you, please do not misunderstand. My family was attacked by bears and I had to escape from them. When I wanted to go back, I had already lost the way. Please help me… I am worried about my family. .And I'm very hungry..

Harry wanted to be cautious about this strange creature asking for help. He wanted to trust his words, but he would not help him until he gave him satisfactory answers to a few questions in his mind.
+I will help you, but there is a question that you must answer to me. No one, including my people, has ever mentioned your existence.. Not even the people who lived in these surroundings.. Are you a demon in disguise that looks beautiful and cute? So, how do you know our language? I have never seen a living creature other than a human speaking.

Charlie;

-I and my ancestors are creatures that can be considered half-human, descended from a human race that was cursed by a demon many years ago and were forced to live on this mountain. Most of my ancestors and my family died of a disease we do not know about.

+Demon! Who is this and why did he curse you..!

-I don't know who and why he is, but according to rumors, his name is Azazil. I want to kill him!!!

Harry was startled when he heard the name Azazil. He was a very powerful enemy and, depending on his actions, skilled in magic. He wished not to encounter him.

+Azazil... hmm okay, I'll help you. It's quite hot inside the cave, please don't stop, go in..

The two companions of travel and destiny had a common enemy, and Harry was no longer alone. They shared the last pieces of meat from the deer together.

As they sat around a warm fire, Harry began to trust this cute red creature with rabbit ears.

He trusted his words. He had never heard the name Azazil before, but he was convinced that the demons attacking their village were the demons of this enemy.

Harry spoke up and placed the piece of meat in his hand on the ground.

+Do you know that I lost my way and my father too..

Charlie was surprised..

-What! Are you serious..

+Yes, a red devil wanted to carry me somewhere with his hand.. He seemed to be talking about the cellars.. Other devils massacred my people.. I don't know if my father is alive or not.. The last time I saw him, he was trying to save me.. I hope he is alive..

Harry couldn't help the tears in his eyes when he told what he had experienced.
Charlie wanted to support him..

Charlie;

+I want you to believe that your father is alive... If we both lose our faith, we will have lost our faith from the very beginning. I will help you in any way I can. Let's get out of this place and find your father. We have nothing to lose.

Harry's confidence in this friend he had just met increased even more. He wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

Harry;

+Well then, let's leave this cave after finishing our meal. We have enough weapons for a fire and an attack. Don't be afraid, God is with us.

Charlie and Harry became good friends from the first day and were determined to act in solidarity with each other in their work.

They would finish their last meat in the cave and continue their way towards the northwest.

A secret enemy was watching them behind the mountains...

Making the Clomper feel alive!

Clomper - Rob Lang Games

➡️ If you want to get more involved then CHECK OUT THE DISCORD!

Although home life has become rather tiring, I've managed to beaver away at updating Clomper's graphics. I've really been enjoying it as the graphics have remained largely unchanged while I worked on game systems and netcode.

Progress!

My goal is a Steam demo and as you can see by the big yellow arrow, I'm getting really close. From left to right: I gave the Clomper legs, set up the Steam page, did a multiplayer test, put in better controls, added menus, created the inventory and updated the claw.

Left to do is: finishing off the graphics (that's going to take a while), alpha testing (with friends), beta testing (with the Discord peeps) and then Steam demo!

Adding life to the floor

The Clomper is a living machine. If you've spent any time around steam locomotives then you'll know that the heat, sound, smell, steam and heft of them give them a feeling that they are alive somehow. Thousands of moving parts, dripping, seeping and sparking! I want to reproduce that in Clomper.

It's going to take a while to complete but I thought you might like to see my progress!

Here's a planetary gear system that will turn depending on how much steam you are using.

Pistons pump steam under the boilers.

The lift has a new iris! I loved making this because I have a soft spot of irises. They are extremely satisfying.

Coming Next

Completing the floor of the Clomper, improving particles and bug fixing! Best place to see progress and discussion is on Discord

The support and feedback has continued to be superb, thank you all.

Closed Beta: Update #35

Beasts of Steel - valentin56610

ADDED:

● Visual feedback of where you are trying to ping an enemy (but returning nothing).
● AP shells (and alike) will now shatter on impact if they cannot ricochet properly. This will throw shrapnel in every direction and potentially harm (deadly) any infantry around :)
● AI infantry will now target enemy mobile spawnpoints. Beware!

CHANGED:

● Reduced construction time of AP and AT mines from 3s to 1s.
I have tried to use them during our games, but it took so long to place, and you need such a dense minefield to actually have any effect that they were worthless to be used. Now, hopefully, since their construction time has been sped up by 300% I hope they will be worth the investment!
● Increased readability of inputfield of in game chat.
● Reduced deceleration smoothing on static weapons of type machine gun.
● Improved readability of the in game chat (yet again!).
● Your latest battle preset is now saved in between sessions so you don't have to set it every time.
● Increased ejection force on empty casings on Sd. Kfz. 234 Stummel (they were staying on the back of the vehicle).
● Increased blast radius of bombs

FIXED:

● 'Paratroopers Attack' gamemode broken due to a bug while exiting transport vehicle (plane).
● Empty 'OTHER' section in the settings.
● Devs messages were not highlighted in yellow in the in game chat.
● For the end of game rewards, the category 'furthest kill' does not take into account tanks or planes anymore. It now only is infantry with small arms. Having a 1000+ meters kill because you dropped a bomb isn't really something worth rewarding you for on the eyes of all the players.
● When using a static weapon of machine gun type, the aiming dot would be shown on the screen, but it was useless because you have the aim down sight.
● Bleeding icon for medic was not shown properly on the UI.
● Pinging an enemy infantry using a machine gun or a mortar would result in a blank image instead of the proper icon.
● Infinite repair as crewman when starting a repair while looking at the broken part, then looking elsewhere, the repair would continue and never end.
● Added auto resizing for nicknames on the scoreboard (some of you had longer nicknames than I had anticipated).
The auto resize works to some extent (-5 points max).
● Craters on maps were staying in between battles. Only way to make them go away was to restart the game.
● 'Sharing is caring' achievement was unlocked even though you never resupplied anyone or built a single ammo crate.
● Bombs/rockets no longer dealt real damage to vehicles.
● Trying to tag/mark/ping an enemy vehicle while looking at its tracks/wheels would not work.
