In these weekly updates we will bring fresh content to Hive, in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.
This week has been all about preparing all the things to do with health and well-being.
Food made for a HERO
A health potion will restore around 20% health but there are also standard ingredients that will also help in your health. Currently all items work instantly when used but we are working on having it that consumables such as food will creep up health slowly and potions will remain instant since they are enchanted or magic. Plus, as a bonus some foods can be crafted into editing weapons with special hit points such as apple seeds. These seeds when collected (by deconstructing an apple in the craft menu), can be used to make items that contain cyanide. As for Herbs, they can be mixed with some consumables to make potions and other remedies. Herbs can be found in forests or buy at a trader shop.
Quick Slot Menu Works Perfectly
In a battle and your in a hurry, then place your potions in the quick slot and use the corresponding key on the keyboard to quickly use the potion. This comes in really handy when facing a dangerous boss enemy.
For example, (above) health is low, press the 1, 2 and 3 key to quickly to gain health! (As long as health potions are placed in those slots. Remember there are different potions for different abilities).
Chests at Main Towns or Waypoints
Need to store some gear? This is a bonus for players and it was discovered by accident when we dropped a backpack and found that the equipment was still in it when we picked it back up! So the code we used is basically from the backpack inventory but given a treasure chest mesh and its own unique save file. Now if you get overfull, you can always store away your favorite items! In the future we are looking at addons and DLC's for bigger chests!
And that is it for this week's update I'm afraid - too much work to do and not enough time to write about it..yet.
Cheers and enjoy our upgoats below, thanks to a
