Hello World! - Alpha Phase

Hi everyone! We are Miss April's Fan Club and welcome to our Dev Logs :)

For the Alpha Phase, the team has worked hard to present the first version of our game!

As Miss April, you take up different job orders to earn money and fund your dream vacation to Malibu. Explore around the camp and check out what orders are currently available.

Camp

Go into the magical forest behind your camp to collect items to fulfill orders, and defeat the monsters for even more items.

Ooh, a pretty mushroom!

combat time

Currently, players have access to all the abilities, but we are looking to make these abilities purchasable using the current skills.

Our forest map is generated by AI using Perlin Noise, where during each run, the number and placement of items and monsters are different each run. While the spawn rates are balanced such that players can fulfill orders within 1-2 runs, having a randomized map helps to encourage exploration as specific items may only be spawned at certain areas of the map :) .

Due to the nature of the map generation, we do have performance considerations. The map is hence generated each time the player is at the camp so that the time taken for the player to teleport into the forest is as short as possible.

Moving forward, we aim to incorporate more story elements and improve the overall game experience for players such as adding music and more HUDs/improved UI. We are also looking to build a skill tree and progression elements to really help send Miss April to Malibu! More models also coming your way as we become a Blender factory :D

We are constantly working to improve this game, so if you have any feedback, please feel free to comment and let us know. Hope you're as excited to play this as we are to showcase it to the world.
