Alright so it is now Saturday morning. Yesterday after coming home from our exam, we pulled together a few new things.

-One of these which is a surprise, and you will need to discover it on your own when you play.
-The XP/Level system is partially completed now.
-Combat GUI has been updated.
-Walking sound that now plays when you are walking.

-Skyepilot2 was able to create a very cool weapon, a Bone Dagger, which will be crafted using the Broken Bone as well as other materials that we choose. (I will most likely not tell you about specific weapons when they are created from now on, and you will need to wait for the beta to actually discover all the weapons. :)
*GreenGuy has finally made a breakthrough with a path tileset to be used outside, dirt ones, paved ones, and of course rivers/lakes.*
--> This is a big deal and will deffinately spice up the game big time.

Sounds great, I hope the game will turn out well, I'm looking forward to seeing the new tile-sets, I sincerely hope you'll do a better job at it than me, even though I'm sure that is indeed the case.
The walking sounds could be a nice feature, but I'd like to point out that you have to be sure the sound is close to perfect; not too noticeable, perfectly in sync, etc. If it doesn't suit these standards, there should be a lot of tweaking, if not removal.
The bone dagger sounds cool, I'd like to see some more images being released revolving around weaponry, as I'd like to see how that's coming along. And perhaps even character holding the guns to see what that looks like. Nonetheless, I'm sure it'll be awesome.
Any chance you could give more information about when the beta shall be released?

Just like to mention, we are not planning on making it so the actor actually changes when you are carrying different weapons. This is solely because the player is able to carry six different weapons at the same time. As for more images, I guess I will be able to make another post on some newer weapons fairly soon. Just going to get one or two more done :)

And also with the footstep, I have been tweaking it, I am working hard to get it to fit as close as possible.

Im not really sure when Beta will be released around, but if I get the chance to work on it all week, I can try my best to get a test version out by next weekend. Now note that if I do, it will be missing some features and have some glitches.
Im glad you are keeping tabs on this thread and I hope to be able to reward you for it soon :)


As for graphics in general, we are going to be having a post on this thread for graphics every Wednsday. Starting this wednsday we are going to be posting (on this thread) a list of the top 3, 5, or 10 graphics of the week. Of course there are some graphics we would like to keep for a surprise.
I'm actually excited myself to pick out our highlights for the week... We have quiete a few cool graphics :)

We would like to inform everybody that we are welcoming a new member into The Renewal team. Satyre, is going to be the music producer for our game. This is a very important position to have and we are happy to have found a new great asset for the team. Thank you Satyre. :)

Also, tonight (14 hours) I will be posting on here the first set of highlighted graphics for the week. Skyepilot2, and GreenGuy are going to be working hard today to try to get the top places in graphics of the week, and it should be a very good competition :)

Alright,d now Time for our highlighted graphics of the week:

We'd just like to start off with the Bone Dagger, created by Skyepilot2


Now a very beautiful plant that was created by GreenGuy

-->This is the plant before it is fullygrown/after it has been harvested. Fully grown version will be a surprise.

Last but not least for this week, I was entertained by a little debuff image created by Skyepilot2 for confused....Which I had to attach instead... because it wont upload properly.

Anyways, If I get around to it, I may be posting updated screenshots tomorrow sometime :) Sorry I only showed 3 things for the week, but we are so close to beta I want to have a few surprises :D

Congratulations to the Renewal team for our first release of Early Beta.

Again, we have a lot of the hard work done, so future updates should come out much faster with a lot more things. We would just like to let out early beta version 0.01 so you may all be rewarded for your patience. We are sorry that we were not able to have more in the game by now, but you will surely be happy with future updates to come.

Just a few notes, many of the graphics will be updated by Skyepilot2, and GreenGuy probably by the next update. Along with many new weapons and resources implemented.
All the music that is currently in the game is all custom made by Satyre (Thanks a bunch to you) :D

*Hint* If you can get the shattered bone loot from the basic zombies, try crafting using it and the wooden plank you start with. Maybe you'll find a surprise ;)

Anyways here is the game: http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/13503

For the next release we qare going to be upgrading the introduction. So it teaches you how to play properly. As well as adding a new recipe book for crafting. So when you learn a recipe you can see how to craft the item.

Working on both of these things now. Hope it can improve the game, and make it more of an actual playable version ;P

After a couple more weeks of hard work, we have came to a new update. This new release of Beta V0.02 includes a much better intro. It teaches you the default controls (Customizable in the future).

Some other changes:

-Recipe book: Allows you to view recipes you have collected. This way you can always remember how to craft your own weapons. However without a recipe you are still able to craft the item.
-New weapon - Dull wood axe
-New combat option - Hand combat. If you have no weapons, try killing a few zombies with your bare hands. (This attack will do damage depending on your Strength skill in a future update [V 0.03?])
-With the axe you are now able to cut down trees in town to collect wooden planks. The trees do not re-grow yet, but should be able to soon. (Note: you can only cut down trees in town ATM)
-12 Hr Time system. When it gets late, it starts to get dark outside. (1.5 seconds = 1 Minute in game)
-Health gui updated (when walking around any scene)
-Leveling system has been slightly improved.
-New background graphics done by Skyepilot2 (Inventory Menu, Recipe book, and Crafting)
-Few small sound effects I created myself.
-New dialog
-New text written in specific scenes to be more directive
-Very first quest (Introduction - Completed once you kill the first zombie) --> There are currently no quest rewards, but will be given XP from a later update.

see original post for link to game. Please give us some feedback on what you think. It is still an early version and has a lot to be done. But I think we would be a little more motivated if we could get some feedback.

Played the Demo, It's epic so far. One tip, Make it so if the player enters a certain region it moves to the next scene, instead of having to press enter. Also, if you change the arrow keys to WASD then your hands will be spread apart and it will be easier to reach the E and R keys. But that's entirely your choice! Once again, AMAZING game and I hope you get a satisfying amount of views.

Remember to Find The Fun,

While moving, we will have loss of internet for some time, and I will be out camping for 3 weeks starting on the 29th. So you will need to be patient for a new release, it may take a while.
