Things were busy in the last month! In addition to some updates to the primary game, Realms & Ruins: Abencor was accepted to an indie developer contest at a local retro gaming convention. I only had a short time to throw together a demo, but I got it done. I had lots of great feedback, made some local connections and had a ton of fun. 

There was some miscommunication for the actual contest and I got an email back from the organizer that the judges didn't judge all the contestants! I had a great time either way and will be taking the feedback I got and incorporating it into the game. All of this months updates are below!

Main Build

• 6 new underwater creatures created, statted and animated
• change default location of hp/mp bar (still draggable) 
• Completed new map in water biome
• Updated behavior, stats and loot tables of 15 creatures 
• Create a vault/storage system. 
• Placed vault NPC's and buildings in every  major town (culceth, mandora, ivywood) 
• Difficulty adjustment for catacomb enemies - reduce strength of entry level enemies

Demo Build (not publicly available at the moment, and I will integrate this into the main game)

• Created multiple snow and ice related tiles
• Created frost cave dungeon
• Scripted puzzles for frost cave
• Created, statted and animated 8 new creatures related to the frost cave 
• Added music for frost cave, including music for the boss encounter
• Created 3 unique items found in the frost cave (secrets abound!)
• Scripted and tested AOE components of a fireball wand
• Created mana potion and scripted functionality
• Scripted boss encounter for frost cave/demo dungeon
• Scripted resistances related to wearing frost armor

Back to work and I'll post another update sometime in August!
