Shattered Destiny : HNS A Quick Update

Hey all, this is just a quick progress update to Shattered Destiny.

You can now equip Weapons and Shields, your weapons have variable damage and quality ratings as from the tutorials. Now however, the effectiveness of your weapons is also influenced by the Character Attributes you assigned during Character Creation.

As for Shields, they directly effect how much damage you take in combat, the better the quality of shield - the less damage you take. There are (3) round shields and of course the Knight's Shield you were familiar with from earlier updates.

I will be addressing Armor/Clothes next. I need to model different armors for this character model, but as a short & quick test, I am going to reflect the armor changes as texture changes. I have already re-textured the character to reflect a "Starter Set" of armor as you can see in the video. Next up - adding different types :)

To test that approach, you can (as an interim) measure that I set up the swaps mid-game simply by using the U or Y keys as a toggle.

U = Changes Hair Color
Y = Changes Armor Textures

-------

Once I am happy w/the Equipment side of things, I will be integrating the rest of the character attributes, and after that Skills and Magic seem like a logical step :) (Hopefully the tutorials will head that way too)

----

Along the way I will continue to tweak things like combat, movement and the overall interface. A more fleshed out UI would be equally as handy w/the planned additions of skills and magic.

Regards all,

AF
