Now you can watch the best plays from the remote match!
At the end of the game, in addition to being able to watch the replays of the best plays from the local match, you can now also watch the replays of the best plays from the remote match and find out how well your team did under your direction.

We've made adjustments to prioritize matchmaking with players you haven't played with yet.

We've tweaked the game balance to enhance the experience for both seasoned players and newcomers.

• To keep you more informed about the remote match, we've reduced the time for displaying remote statistics.
  
• We've improved the readability of your team's current formation on the strategy panel.

• Fixed a bug that caused the match to freeze at the end of the first or second half if the opponent left the game.
  
• A bug in the calculation of experience points (XP) earned at the end of the match has been fixed.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented exiting the match search screen on some occasions.

Requirements:
- Easy and fast to draw
- Easy to animate
- Clear and understandable
- Era accurate
- Cute and charming

Step 1) Choose a Perspective

It was fairly easy for us to choose it because since we are a small team and I’m the only in-game asset artist, we needed our assets to be reusable, so this immediately eliminated the three-point perspective layout. We could either choose a one-point perspective where we look at the scenery head on or an isometric perspective. Isometric made the most sense since we wanted a large map that is accurate to Patara.

Step 2) Decide on Line Art

We wanted a natural look but since it's a hidden object game we needed our assets to be easily readable so even though not using line art would make it look more natural we decided on using line art. But since we wanted a more natural look, we decided to avoid using line tool to create perfect lines, this would preserve the hand drawn look and make things look flawed and therefore natural. I also decided to break the line art in some places so that it would give more texture to the assets.

Step 3) Colors and Shading

This is a hidden object game so our players will be really focused on the screen and search for the objects. To prevent eye strain, we decided to avoid extremely bright and vivid colors, keeping our colors more muted but still lively. So next thing to decide as shading, we tried different shading and texturing methods where our assets were shaded more realistically and had stronger textures. But even though we liked some of the concepts we decided not to use them since it was more time consuming to create assets that way and we need a ton of assets. We also needed to reuse assets and sometimes flip them so that they can fit in different places so harsh lighting with strong contrast would look weird and unnatural when flipped. So we decided to go with simple cell shading where only one plain of the object would get a shadow and we added details and textures with hatch lines.

Step 4) Characters

We wanted our characters to be cute, charming and easy to animate. So we made chubby sort of chibi looking characters with big oval eyes and noodle arms. We argued about giving them other facial features aside from just to eyes but adding eyebrows, nose and mouth only took away from their cute childlike innocent looks.

Step 5) Companion

We needed a companion to guide us through our journey, give us hints and above all be a pal, so we started working on KronoDex. This somehow became the most dividing subject for the team (i never should’ve shown them all the concepts) no one liked the same design. After we decided on a general concept, we looked for ways to make the KronoDex part of the UI, but this came with its own challenges since we needed it to work not only on pc but also on console and mobile. After we ironed out all the kinks KronoDex took its final form!



And the quest continues….

This was the Lead Artist Batu speaking, in the next DevLog our sound designer Engin will be talking about his side of this adventure.

Thank you all so much for following our journey and supporting us, hope to see you soon! :3

If title shows ver.EA_2570, the game is updated.

▼ Fixed items.
1, Opening has been added.
　　It can be checked automatically at startup.

2，Damage notation now changes depending on the amount of damage inflicted.

3，Fixed a bug that caused some achievements to open at unintended times.

4，The coin collection distance has been adjusted.

5, Other minor fixes.

We will continue to develop the game with the fix of serious problems as our top priority.
Thank you for your continued support of Starnaut.

This week we worked on the Earth element magic, Rockstep, it allows the player to jump while airborne by creating a small platform under the player feet.



The spell has a visual indicator showing how many jumps you have in the form of orbiting rocks.
The rocks recharge a few seconds after touching ground.

Each level of the spell will give you one jump, these gifs are using Rockstep lv3


The jumps conserve momentum, but also allow you to change direction.

One the Faerie system I begun working on a facerig, if this works out the Faeries will have smooth facial animations and if it all works well I will use the same system on the other NPCs late during the NPC overhaul.



Next week we will polish both the Waterwalk and the Rockstep a bit more and make sure they are working with each other, and maybe we will add a new non-magic movement option if all goes well.

• Squires will retain their special traits after getting promoted to a knight.
  
• Luxury will affect minion training and workshop efficiency.
  
• Retired dungeons will be saved to temporary files and copied after saving is successful to avoid the game crashing on corrupted files.
  
• Luxury of reinforced walls is shown correctly.
  
• Removed irrelevant damage modifier from mushrooms.
  
• Added a tool-tip explaining locked keepers in the keeper menu.
  
• Fixed the [x] button in the keeper choice menu.
