Dwarfinator

Cutscene editor

Haven't been posting anything for a while, and that's why: I was rebuilding cutscenes and its editor from scratch, for I faced a critical issue with old realization. So for past few weeks I've migrated cutscene data storage from XMLs to SQLite database, fully refactored all the cutscene playing mechanisms to make them more flexible and confortable to use and created new cutscene editor using my own object-oriented implementation of Unity Editor GUI. And now I can finally get back from boring UI coding to making some content. And while I do it why don't you take a look at some screenshots of that cutscene editor?

New soundtrack - Heroes

And if you think that new page contains only old material - you are very wrong. Meet the new track Heroes. And as it's guessable from its name, it will accompany the greatest heroes of humanity, which will be met by Wilfred in human location. With quite sad result, but don't let it stop you from listening.

Music page

There is a new page on the website - Muisc. There you can listen all released at the moment soundtracks for the game. All the tracks also available to listen in my Soundcloud account, link in the bottom of the page.

Faces

Polishing cutscenes. I'm not gonna show all of them, of course, but instead I can post some of recently drawn for dialogs character faces, with various emotions.

Cyclops support

Creating a boss is a long process, especially if you constantly interrupt it with side tasks. Anyway, working on cyclops is coming to its end and soon he will stand before Wilfred in his full might. Meanwhile you can watch how exactly goblin slaves are going to "support" him during the battle. Shortly - they are food and ammo for cyclops.

Font

As you might already noticed, Dwarfinator uses its own custom font. Until now the font was just a hand-painted texture and for some time I tried to fix graphic artifacts appearing with font scaling. Tried to make some workarounds with dynamic choose of texture size, but all in vain. And now I've finally came to descision I had to make from the very beggining. Now the game font is a proper vector font, scalable without any issues to any (or almost any) size. And now it's possible to use it here, on the website.
