High-Rize Studio...... This dev log needs more log. I'm kind of liking the name "High-Rize Studio" or "High-Ryze Studio." Thank you for your suggestion. There is a studio called Hi-Rez, seems prone to confusion. (They make Smite, Tribes, and Paladins). BTW, our team name is "Rize Abov" in case you didn't know

-Apparently I was ignorant about how prefabs really work in Unity Engine and just gained knowledge on them. It appears that when creating a prefab, you can't drag and drop an object into it's inspector, which makes complete sense (Basically if that particular gameObject is in multiple scenes but not in every scenes, then what happens when player comes across a scene where it's not integrated in...exactly). But what I've discovered is you can reference the object by making a prefab of that object that you want to drag and drop into the inspector of the other prefab. Took me awhile to understand but better now than never.

Looking forward to the video! Your graphics look like they're coming together! I always wanted to play a platformer with classes and abilities like this, but I usually suck/get frustrated with the action too much... Looks fun though!

Yeah our goal is to make our game challenging but not brutal and too frustrating. (So our game should fall in between super mario bros and dark souls).

Updates: -I had to recruit a more skilled unity programmer in order to create more advanced enemy A.I and improve our combo-combat system. We really want the combat to be more appealing, and more advanced then what's already integrated. -Posted our Gameplay trailer to our social media pages (facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube), mailing list subscribers, other forums, and Reddit (Someone give me tips on how to become popular on Reddit because I go the opposite and keep getting banned from certain subreddits lol). Fans and people love it and appears that they want to see more! -Just continuing to promote our game while we're in-development
Note: So now I understand when developers like @Rami Ismail say that you shouldn't have a huge indie team, and if you do, don't be intimidated to discharge some of them to shorten the team. I might have to do just that, for the greater good

Continuing to learn Promotion / Marketing strategies. Just learned about Thunderclap. Useful to spread the word instantly throughout Social Media. Keeping this in mind because 99.9% of your indie game's success comes from marketing. So for those indie developers out there, do not wait until the launch of your Kickstarter campaign, to start building up fans/supporters. You need to already have supporters, before it's launch and use Kickstarter to gain more supporters and earn proliferate amounts of money.

Implementing enemy patrol script for the enemy wolf. As you can see, we are able to click and drag the blue circle/points that represents point A and point B, and move them anywhere we want the character to patrol.

Your game looks great, Rize. From what I gather watching your trailer, it reminds me a bit of Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Blackthorne - with a transform/character swap mechanic. Those dragon eggs are massive - will you be fighting the dragons? Would love to see one!

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it. We were definitely inspired by Castlevania Symphony of the Night as well as other games. Never heard of Blackthorne, lol. So it appears that you explicitly identified that particular level to be the dragon's Lair as you saw those giant eggs, which is a good sign, as we want to make sure we have great level design and hopefully tell a good story. There will definitely be dragon enemies and bosses, along with other enemy types. We are currently working on improving our Enemy A.I system and combat system and will keep you updated.
The transformation is our core mechanic and we will definitely implement many reasons as to why player will have to transform

-Dragon Lair tutorial level is fully complete, in terms of level design. Still need to implement various scripts, including interaction between Akira and the little boy NPC (the first NPC she encounters, after falling down into the Dragon Lair) -Dragon Lair Room 1 and 3 is structure complete.
Currently working on populating Room 1 and 3 with art assets. At the same time, I've started writing specific dialogue and designing different NPCs that will be scattered throughout the level. The reason to why humans are wondering inside the dragon lair level, as well as other levels throughout the game, will be fully explained within the Lore. They will also have their own proper town/village scenes, throughout the game.
