Camelot Unchained Mini Dev Update Talks About WIPs, Devout Classes, And The COVID-19 Pandemic
It’s been a few weeks since we last heard from City State Entertainment and their medieval fantasy MMORPG Camelot Unchained. Turns out, the studio has been working hard on several new features for the game’s scenario loop, including building out the game’s environment, NPC behavior, and the mechanics of keep lords and realm keeps, as well as a new coastal flatland biome.
In addition, the dev team has also been continuing their work on the Devout Classes to get it ready for testing. “A majority of Shapes (components that specify delivery of Runes) are done, and we’re working on the more unique and complex Shapes right now.,” says City State. “Once those are done, we’ll be over the hill on Devout abilities – what remains (Infusions, Foci, and something called Modals for the HelBound) are on the horizon. Then we can start testing all of these components for obvious bugs or flaws in the logic.”
Other works-in-progress are Channeling Tech, Ability Bar Customization, a Warband overhaul, shaders, terrain improvements, and the Wyvern, which is now almost ready for animation.
City State Entertainment also dropped a few words on the current COVID-19 pandemic:
“Right now the world is going through a difficult time which sadly will get even worse before it gets better, due to COVID-19, a.k.a. the Coronavirus. While it may have had its first known case in China, the fact is that it is now worldwide and it continues to spread. For so many of us it will sadly be a life-changing event, one that we will remember forever. Now is the time for those who govern throughout the world to forget their differences, their own ideologies, and what separates us to focus on doing what is necessary to reduce the tragic loss of human life that will happen during these coming months. It is my fervent hope that here in the U.S. and all over the world, that our politicians will see this as an opportunity to prove that they deserve the positions of power and influence that they hold. If we can do that here, there, and everywhere, the world will come through this and while it will be changed in many ways for the worse, we might learn from our past mistakes and prejudices to move forward to a better future. That said, speaking on behalf of everybody at City State Entertainment, we wish to best not only to our Backers and their family and friends, but to all the world’s people. Stay safe, be smart and come through this alive and well.”
