- Developer Update | November - 21 November 2024
Fellow Djinns! We hope you're all doing well, and thank you for your patience. Apologies for the recent silence, but we've been hard at work porting the game to the Godot engine. We're happy to share that we're making fantastic progress! The game overall, especially the movement and game flow, feels on-point and satisfying. However, we're not finished yet. The coming months will be dedicated to finalizing the story, adding props and details, and balancing everything. We kindly ask for your continued support. หsteamhappyห From now on, we'd like to provide regular development updates. We've already started sharing updates on a smaller scale, but we want to ensure everyone who supports us is informed. So, let's recap what's been happening with Mira and the Legend of the Djinns over the past few months. This video showcases the improved combat system using different weapons https://www.youtโฆ
- Update v0.1.6 Alpha - 12 July 2024
Improvements We tweaked the player's movement to feel less floaty and slippery, and we reduced the speed of the roll and dash. Combat has been improved, with enemy behavior now less confusing. Enemies can now drop Crystals (time to grind for some moves?). Some animation sprites have been improved. Dialogue in some cutscenes has been enhanced. Inputs can now be changed in the Pause Menu/Settings/Controls. Note: This is not final and will be improved. You can now move with the D-Pad buttons by adjusting the Control settings. Important: If you have the same input assigned to two different actions, you will need to change it manually, or that input will perform both actions simultaneously. The boss has been improved and now has a health bar. A low health indicator has been added for when the player's HP is low. Some platforming scenarios have been improved. The camera has been improved in sโฆ
- Hotfix v0.1.3 - 12 June 2024
Patch Notes - v0.1.3_alpha Hotfix Thank you for playing the demo! Your feedback was invaluable in helping us identify and fix various issues. Hereโs what we've addressed in this small hotfix update: Soft Locks Mira's cutscene no longer prevents proper loading. You will no longer get stuck after obtaining your projectile; there is now an infinite energy source in that room. The "Eye Door" area has been modified. Some players got stuck due to a lack of Baraka (mana) for a projectile, so we replaced the door with a regular one. Battle Arenas will no longer lock you in. Tutorials Updated the Gambri tutorial. You can now review the melodies you have learned. Tutorial panels will now pop up after you acquire a new ability. Note: We will continue to improve these tutorial panels in future updates. Fixes Battle Royale bugs where some enemies did not spawn have been fixed. The boss shield hitboxโฆ
- Steam Next Is Live! - 10 June 2024
Fellow Djinns, Steam Next Fest is up and running - and we're part of it. If you jump into the demo today, you'll notice that it's quite a new experience. It has just been updated so that you can play the latest demo version of Mira and the Legend of the Djinns. We've been working hard the last few months to bring you a much more developed demo for today's Steam Next Fest. At the head and most notably, we made a full about-turn engine-wise. We switched from previously Pixel Game Maker MV to Godot Engine. And we're super happy with that decision. The game feels so much better now, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback. To give you a water-level report, we'd say the demo resembles the Alpha Stage of Mira and the Legend of the Djinns' Godot version. The demo is playable until you reach the Main City Hub; this includes the game's tutorial and first boss. Please keep the feedbaโฆ
