Well hello there! As promised, exactly a week after the first devlog I’ve made a new one. To be honest, I’ve been really enjoying working on YSoD, And I’ve added a ton of new features!.

Let’s go over all the big ones one by one, shall we.

Quest system

As I discussed in my previous devlog, YSoD is supposed to be a fun, rpg-obby mix. And so, I’ve made a demo of a quest system!
note: data does not save yet, as there isn’t really anything to be saved.

Complete lobby revamp

after writing devlog #0, I looked back at the lobby and cringed. I mean come on! It’s a grey block in some random field with barely any decoration, so, I decided to revamp the whole thing.

SoOT and SoR portals and the difficulty chart together

right to left, a windmill, the community zone hut, difficulty chart legend, and the hobbit hole

Pupper therapy room. Take a break from obbies, exploring, whatever and just enjoy the puppies.

Winroom balcony.

A ship with sailors from another realm. They’ve seen many things.

The great mountain river, giving power to all life

The way to SoS’s portal
and much, much more that I couldn’t possibly fit in into 1 devlog.

menu

As you’ve seen in the quest system, I’ve made a main menu! The ui is very basic and doesn’t have a lot of features as of now, but it’s a start!

footnote: teleporting from place to place doesn’t work in studio, that’s why the button doesn’t work, but the logic is done.
