Gelking's Ascension Update is out on Guild Management Game Project!

 

Hey guys, new update coming to Guild Management Game Project today. This one, features not only a boss, but not one, not two, but THREE new recruitable guild members.

New Guild Members

From left to right, here's the brief resume of the characters.

Tyrone is a sniper, who fought in the war against the monsters, and lost control of his legs during one of the battles, which forced him to retire.

Kiki is Tyrone's caretaker, assigned to take care of Tyrone after he got injured and lost movement of his legs. She's also a great healer.

Benny is a peddler who travels the world looking for products to sell, and customers to sell his goods to.

All of those characters are recruitable, if you find them and do their recruitment processes.

Do notice that Tyrone and Kiki's recruitment process is not related to Benny's, so you won't unlock him simply by doing their quests.

New Boss

As people thought peaceful times would be a thing now that war is over, a new trouble surges.

Gelking, the Giant Fox Slime is trying to invade Gavea and take over the throne.

The Queen of Gavea sent her royal army not only to try stopping him, but also to ask for the help 

of Gavea Guild Academy to post requests, seeking strong Guilds to help repel that monster.

"Get out of my way. My throne awaits me. If you don't, I will remove you myself."

To start this boss fight, visit Gavea Guild Academy Bounty Boards during Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday to get the Urgent request to face him.

I still need to add more interesting loot to him, but at least managing to defeat him will give you some reward.

Do notice that, beside you're not going to be alone when facing him, you shouldn't let the npcs face the boss all by themselves.

Blacksmith Shop

A blacksmith shop has been opened in Gavea.

In it, you'll be able to strengthen your weapons and armors to make them stronger.

To refine items, you will need not only the golds necessary, but also a specific material, which depends on the rarity of the item.

The materials can be found throughout the world, as monster loot.

Do watch out when refining items: The higher the refine level, the higher the chance of equipment breaking when attempting refining.

If you want to play it safe, you can keep refining until the chance drops from 100%, but feel free to try strengthening further if you feel confident. Just be sure that you have an extra equipment in case the one you have breaks.

Change Log

There is now a Blacksmith shop in Gavea.

It is located next to the Weapons Shop.

The Blacksmith who was in Gavea Guild Academy has moved to it.

She will allow you to refine items if you give her golds and the required refining material.

The required item will change depending on the rarity of the item.

Depending on rarity, the success rate when refining at higher refine grades will change.

Failing to refine an item will destroy the item for good.

Only weapons, offhand items like shields, and armors can be refined.

Added Escrima combat technique to Umbra.

This combat technique uses Daggers as main weapon.

Fixed again drop rate issues with the Giant Acid Doggie miniboss.

Fixed issue where the Dog Collar wasn't being recognized as accessory.

Your character will no longer be locked in place while the attack duration time is happening. Instead, only will be locked in place while the attack animation is happening.

Provoked debuff makes the ones affected by it, be forced to attack the one who inflicted it.

Fixed a sprite inconsistency issue that could happen with some skills and attacks that changes characters sprite position.

Effects will no longer restart when being placed again on the characters.

Removed Santa Hats from monsters, visually and also dropwise.

Their number has increased from 5 to 15.

Fixed a bug where you could sell items for their full price, instead of half their price.

Added guards to City of Gavea.

You can talk with them for guidance, or to know more about the town.

I don't know if their guidance will be really useful, since I'm as clueless as to point where's thing...

Changed how the status system of the game works, for player and monsters health, damage, defense and debuff parameters.

Tyrone and Kiki can now be recruited as guild members.

If you bumped into them, then you know where to find them.

Added a Urgent Mission to Gavea Guild Academy.

The Urgent Mission can be found at the list of bounties, at the top of the list.

The mission will ask you to help repel the attack of the chonky giant fox slime, Gelking.

You can find the mission on the bounty board during Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

You will only be able to do the mission once per day it's available.

You will not lose the chance of facing the boss again for the day, if you fail the event of facing him.

He'll only appear at a specific moon phase.

He's also recruitable, if you find out how.

A preview of the new boss.

The next update of the project might be bringing a new boss for you to face.

I decided to showcase it to remove some dust from my Youtube account. And also from this blog.

The boss fight was actually quite complicated to make, and I don't mean only AI wise.

Let's start with the boss.

The boss can end up absorbing victims inside his body. A good number of his skills can end up causing the characters affected by it, to be stuck inside its body for some time. One of the skills is the Body Slam.

I had to make a system where not only the victim is seen trapped inside the boss, but also depending on his animations, they are shown about in the correct place for the frame, make the characters faced direction change, and also downscale them to kind of fit inside his body.

And some skills make use of the victims trapped inside him, like the Feast skills, which drain life from characters trapped inside to restore the boss health, and the Hurl Foe, which launches a trapped victim on another target.

Due to the possibility of him having the victims trapped for way too long, I added a skill where he expels trapped characters from his body, if passes a long time with them trapped inside him. The delay before expelling characters is reduced if he's not attacking anything.

Another characteristic, is that the boss is really talkative. If you pay attention to what he's saying, you might have an idea of what he's about to try next. Sadly, there's a few cases where an attack is unavoidable, but others, the information is really handy.

And, is the first boss to invoke summons. Those summons attacks the target of the summoner (I might need to change that). I had to disable their loot, because could end up making the boss very convenient.

As for the scene and the boss fight,they all happen in the same dialogue.

I had to add new dialogue step types in order to support not only characters spawning, making them passive (so we can have a cutscene), move, and more.

The boss fight itself still happens inside the dialogue system.

I thought it would be really annoying to battle the boss with field monsters wandering around, so I also moved the player to "another dimension" while the dialogue is happening. I believe I might need to revert that in the future, and make the player group be unattackable during the scene.

In the case of this boss fight, you'll have the help of npcs, that will help you do damage on the boss. The npcs have their own AI and skills that they will use in combat, so they will be handy when facing the boss. Do not leave them facing the boss alone. You've been warned.

There is the addition of Urgent Quests on the Bounty Board system, which will feature the quest to face this boss. The Urgent Quests are not affected by the overtime randomly picked quests of the normal bounties list, and will always be disponible, if the quest is not in cooldown (if you completed it previously), and you can take the quest (all its requirements are met).

It's planned that the quest to face Gelking can be taken during Tuesdays, Thusdays and Saturdays of real life time. The quest itself has a cooldown of 1 day, so the next day the quest is active, you'll be able to take it.

Well, that's it for this post. I hope you guys give it a try on this boss fight once the update comes out.

See ya.

Lavanda region accessible, but this is actually a hotfix.

 

Well, earlier this day I leaked a screenshot of a new area I was developing on the game. What I wasn't counting on, is the fact that I would end up releasing it literally the next day.

The reason for releasing it, is due to a bug with character creator, which caused the characters created to come without equipments. This update fixes that issue.

Since the update is out, lemme talk about its highlights.

New Map: Lavanda Wall

As you know above, this update brings a new map.

The Lavanda region has a cursed soil, which causes undeads to rise from it.

Due to that little condition, the only things you'll see here are the dead, and the destroyed buildings from the war between humans and monsters.

You may already wonder that this place is actually quite dangerous to explore, so explore at your own risk.

With the arrival of this new map, the Headless Horseman has moved to here.

Not only that means the Headless Horseman is no longer in Gavea Farmlands, but also it no longer has specific time of day to spawn, as long as its respawn time has passed.

This new map might need some changes and tweaks on the mobs in it, so future updates might bring new content to it.

As for bounty quests, currently there isn't bounty quests for some the Zombunnies. Beside, Lavanda isn't really Gavea territory, so doesn't make much sense having bounties for it, beside I believe it might be a good idea to have because it threatens the town.

Improved Loot Rates

Many of the rare accessory and weapon loots gained a boost on their drop rate, so you should no longer need to grind the hell out of a field just to get an accessory from a specific monster.

Well... Or at least I should say that, since that also depends on your luck.

The loot rate of hats is unchanged, by the way.

By the way, the Dog Collar accessory now drops from any Acid Doggie, instead of only from Giant Acid Doggie.

Alongside that, the Giant Acid Doggie loot has been fixed, so it should not only drop items from normal Acid Doggies, but also drop its own loot too.

Change Log

Readjusted Santa Hat position to be one pixel higher on the character heads.

Using furnitures now regenerates health faster like sitting on the ground.

Removed Sapphire Gemstones from Gavea Item Shop.

Supressive Fire and Headshot skills now should now work as intended.

Fixed issue where Cotton item wasn't stackable.

Nerfed Rifle Potence skill damage increase.

Dog Collar accessory will now drop from any Acid Doggie, instead of only from Giant Acid Doggie.

Fixed an issue where Giant Acid Doggie was incapable of dropping some items.

Escort quests will no longer spawn their escort characters when the quest is failed.

The stairway in Gavea Sewers B2 leading to B1 floor is no longer absurdly big.

Bumped the drop rate of a number of equipments.

Lavanda Wall map has been added.

Accessible by entering the south portal in Gavea Farmland.

That place is dangerous.

Headless Horseman boss has been moved to that place. It appears at any time if it's not in cooldown.

Reduced the Zombunnies Bleeding infliction chance when attacking from 70% to 30%.

Tweaked the AI of the Zombunnies.

They now have a particularity. Will you manage to find out what is it?

Fixed issue where newly created characters came without equipments.

Enjoy your gameplay, and be careful not to be zombunny food.

The Santa Hats update. And also Gavea Sewers B2, new monsters, many fixes and tweaks too.

 

Hey there friends, I'm Nakano15 and today I present you a new Guild Management Game Project update.

Here's a brief description of what's coming.

Gavea Sewer B2

It has came, the second floor of the sewer. Sadly, it only brings one new monster. One new, big monster, with a sledgehammer, ready to smash someone's face with it.

Those who are brave enough and can endure the pain caused by those new rat creatures will be well rewarded, depending on how good is your luck.

Do watch out, by the way, since the second floor has less lighting than the first. Watch out for red eyes in the dark.

A bit of Christmas Celebration

Some monsters in the fields of Gavea seems to be prepared for the Christmas season.

Defeating those monsters might give you a chance of getting a Santa Hat that you can give to your characters.

Don't worry, though. The drop rate of the santa hat is 1 in 10, so is a lot less rare than of any other head equipment in the game.

Sadly, that's the extent of how much I can add a christmas event to the game right now.

I have a lot of things to work on in the project (and also a little burnout to deal with), so I couldn't do something more celebrative for the season.

At least, there is at least something for the season.

Loot Rarities and their effects

This update allows you to see the rarity of the loot that drops from monsters you've killed.

The color of the loot name represents their rarity, and of course, the rarer the item is, the rarer it is to get, and the better it is compared to other rarity items.

Currently, the item rarities are as follow, from worst to best:

Junk

Normal

Uncommon

Rare

Legendary

The benefits given by rarer equipments will be a lot beter than the benefits given by items with lower rarity.

Currently, you can only find items of rarity up to Rare.

There are currently plenty of ways of getting Rare equipments, beside the game surelly needs more Uncommon gears.

Also, I removed the internal bonus status change rarities would nativelly give, so items will no longer gain or lose a percentage boost based on their rarity level.

That also means that our friend Headless Horseman is now easier.

What? You thought he wouldn't be wearing his own loot?

Discord Rich Presence

I added support to Discord Rich presence to the game.

The Discord Rich Presence will show on your status that not only you're playing the game, but also a brief description of what you're doing, while showcasing informations like guild level, and current leading character.

I added this actually just for fun, but you may actually disable that on the game settings. Just go into the Other tab and disable Discord Rich Presence from there.

The above image shows how it looks when someone checks your status.

Currently, it only shows elapsed time when you leave the guild hall, and goes to exploring, and the elapsed time disappears when you return to the guild.

It doesn't offers any function other than letting you brag at your friends, so it might be fun.

Some more new monsters

I also added new monsters to the game. One of them was actually spoiled before on my twitter.

https://twitter.com/Nakano18Online/status/1598831457987796992

That monster alone makes me imagine that the game age rating might go up to 16.

Why I say that? Well, I guess you'll find out soon.

Other than that zombie bunny monster and the giant rat monster, I added 3 more monsters, which can actually be found during your gameplay.

Bloodmoon Dangers

The Bloodmoon before the update was dangerous. This time, it's even more dangerous.

Undeads and Demoniac creatures will now begin appearing on the fields during the Bloodmoon, to increase the degree of danger it offers.

Whatever you do, don't die, and don't be gazed by the eyes.

I warned you.

By the way, the town is still pretty safe, for now.

I will have to fix that issue later, but one of the biggest issues about trying to do that, is the fact that the town is still work in progress.

Filling the town with things is actually complicated, because the increase in number of polygons will cause the game to get laggier inside town.

Anyways, I'll think of something.

Tougher Giant Acid Doggie

The Giant Acid Doggie was beaten so badly on the last video I did showcasing Collin and Rose in combat, that I had to take some measures to make it tougher.

Now that creature has innate defense against the infliction of debuffs, includding reduction confused of debuff time.

That doesn't mean that the monster is immune to debuffs, but actually mean you might need more than simply a skill to confuse the monster.

A number of skill and combat technique tweaks

From skills that were way too good (I'm looking at you Double Punch), to a better attack animation and sound (Now you seem to actually cause damage, Denis).

A good number of skills got tweaks to make the characters more interesting to play as.

And there's also a skill replacement. Collin's Rush skill has been replaced by Jump Kick, which does partially the same thing as Rush, but instead of passing through the target leaving your other group members in danger, it will make the character stop right in front of his target.

Of course, just like the Charge skill, Jump Kick has a close range version, so one slot isn't wasted when the target is close to your character.

Skunk Spray now also has a chance of causing bigger monsters to flee, if they're not stinky already.

And to finish...

The bug where you couldn't toggle between individual and group selection when there is group members defeated is GONE.

Patch Note

 

Changed the text object of the acquired loot information.

You can now see the name and stack of looted items by passing the mouse over them.

The text name will also reflect the loot rarity.

A number of loot items will now count as Junk items.

There is now a chance of successful collection of crops on Gavea Farmlands.

The success chance right now is 65%.

That also affects the number of a crop you can gather if the crop gives you multiple items (like the tomato).

Changed the attack sound for Denis Novice technique.

Added more crops to the farms in Gavea Farmland.

The game will now let you know that an item is an accessory.

Added more information disponible on items.

Changed the grey color in item description for better readability.

Changed the attack time of Plasma Eaters, to avoid them from spamming damage on your characters, when affected by cancelling attack effects.

You can disable that on the game settings.

Added missing cooldown from Low Kick skill.

Now it has a 35 seconds cooldown.

Download

Hello there new project page. Mind offering our players the download link of the new version?

Download: https://nakanondev.blogspot.com/p/guild-management-game-project.html

What's next?

Well, I have a number of characters drafted into the game, includding some that might be involved in future quests. One of them is the Gavea Guards, which will have a male and female version, and of course, be present in Gavea, and also some fields.

One thing the game desperatedly need is more npcs, so I can make the world livelier.

I plan on making quite a number of the npcs in Gavea and fields being bunny humanoid characters, to make cohesion with the story about the war, that is being revealed as I add quests, and also how that is related to the arena master in Gavea.

That reminds me that I need to begin taking notes of my ideas of future quests, to avoid forgetting.

In south of Gavea Farmlands, I plan to add a new region, which is planned to be swarmed by undead monsters.

Hopefully I'll manage to develop that place with fields, and possibly lead to a new town you can visit.

Due to our new bunny zombie monster addition, I believe Hardcore Mode is now a possibility.

Before the update, the characters would only get incapacitated in combat.

After this update, they can end up dying depending on what happens to them.

That might be handy for hardcore guild modes, to make so you can actually lose guild members if you're not careful in combat.

I might try working on that any time in the future.

By the way, definitelly that if when the guild master is implemented in the game, and it ends up dying, it's instant game over, right?

There is a extra game mode that I still need to finish some time in the future too.

It will be accessible by the Gavea Arena. Once I get the game mode in a state that it's good to showcase it, or on the news of launch of an update bringing it, I'll talk more about.

The perfect plan results in the Arena Master being recruitable by it.

Final words

Thank you very much for showing your interest in the project, and to all people who offered me their feedback about it, even after playing or not the game.

I don't know if there might be an update before the holidays, but I will wish you all Happy Holidays just in advance, and have a nice end of year.

See ya next time. :3

Another Guild Management Game update, with a new character includded.

 

And a new update arrives, with interesting changes, and a new character.

New Character

Rose

The witch Rose has arrived to the game, and is fully acquireable (unless I messed up on her recruitment process). She currently doesn't have her curse magic with her, so she will be able to use Psychokinesis magic to cause problems to your guild opposition.

The only clue I'll give you for where to begin her recruitment quest, is by checking the latest visitable Gavea Field.

Combat Techniques Resetter

A npc has been added to Gavea Guild Academy to allow you to reset your character combat techniques.

A fee of 1000 Golds will be required to reset the technique of the current leader character.

Yes, be sure to have the character you want to reset the technique selected as leader of the group before attempting to reset techniques.

There is no limit as to how many resets you can do or anything.

Just keep in mind that the npc will reset ALL your character combat techniques, so be sure to set the skills on all of them after you reset.

Other Changes

Halloween has passed, and it's time to remove the decorations for it, so the lamp posts and Gavea Farmland will return back to normal.

The Headless Horseman also got changes. His sword got a few nerfs since it was way too good.

Also, he will not spawn all the time in the farmlands.

Instead, it will spawn between 23 hours and 4 hours (4am), so if you want to avoid it, or it's blocking your way, just try passing through where he is outside of that time range.

Umbra and Denis got a new skill to their Rapier or Dagger technique. That skill will make it easier to avoid staying in front of the monster, since upon using it, the character will move sideways of it if the character is in front of the monster.

Of course, that skill will not be very handy if they are actually tanking the monster, but if they're actually offering extra dps, will at least help keeping them alive, and out of danger way.

Characters will also now speak when using certain skills.

With the exception of Rose's Familiar Maker skill, there's a chance the character will speak when using skill.

Do let me know if that annoys you.

Change Log

Umbra's Epee and Denis Novice Combat Techniques gained Side Step skill.

This skill allows making the character side step away from the target face, while delivering an attack at the end of it.

Or simply attack the target, if the character is not in front of the target.

Tweaked the Horseman Blade status.

Now it gives 12 Physical Damage, 8 Defense Pierce and 2 Power changes.

Added a npc to allow Combat Techniques resetting inside Gavea's Guild Academy.

You need to have the character you want to reset the combat techniques set as leader, before talking to it.

It costs 1.000 golds to reset. Price doesn't changes.

All combat techniques are resetted upon using this. Be sure to spend points on all your character combat techniques.

Fixed issue where Recovery Sound skill was way too good.

You can no longer abuse of the targetting delay from hostile monsters to deal some quick start damage.

Toxic Oozes now stacks.

Removed redundance from Melissa's description.

Added a scroll bar to the character description in the guild applications window.

This will be handy if the game gets a character with a long description.

Rose is now recruitable.

Changed Asphalion's recruitment quest to add a dialogue branching for when Rose is present.

Removed Halloween changes from the game.

Lamp posts light will now be white, and no longer has bat silhouettes.

Removed the mist from Gavea Farmland.

Changed the moment the Headless Horseman will appear on Gavea Farmland.

It will now spawn between 23 hours and 4 hours.

If you're already facing it outside its spawn time, it will not despawn, unless it loses targets.

Characters will now speak when using certain skills.

Let me know if that annoys you, so I can lower its appearance rate.
