Dear Dwarves! :dwarf_gs: [b]we want to bring you some new information about our project and co-op mode :)[/b] First, we were awarded in this year's edition of the Game Prototype Design Competition 2022! [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42893252/e1b0e0a818cdb68152fa5dfc495d8fa5df747583.jpg[/img] The competition mentioned above helped us create some new mechanics for [b]First Dwarf, our upcoming Action RPG set in the world of Driftland[/b]. Those mechanics evolved into a full-fledged, asymmetrical co-op mode of the game, which we implemented in its build! Thank you to the co-organizers of the competition: Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland, Centrum GovTech Poland, and CRPK, as well as Copernicus Game Jam 2022 - during which the diplomas were handed over and everyone who supported us along the way. [h2]How does our co-op mode work?[/h2] [b]In this asymmetrical co-op[/b] 🐉 player can take control over the mech or one of its pilots: Tru or Ragna. Each of them has its own, separate skills to develop and upgrade. All characters have their strengths and weaknesses so it’s important to choose the characters wisely when preparing to complete certain tasks. [b]In a single-player game[/b], the player can switch between characters, completing tasks with the one with better skills in a given field. Tru, Ragna, and the Mech will have different skill trees. Tru will be a better Mecha pilot, Ragna can e.g. fly, and the Mech can be treated as a kind of armored vehicle, so without a pilot it will not work. Below you can see what our WIP (Work in Progress) footage of the asymmetrical co-op mode looks like.
