QA is now testing the first build on the updated engine! While most things are finished, there's still some funny bugs to patch! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Our Unity upgrade is nearly done! Pretty much all of the Beta is working except Ether Run, and it shouldn't be much longer for the rest. The upgrade includes a lot of performance savings in terrain! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Our Unity upgrade is improving game performance! As you can see, Medium quality gets a stable 350 FPS. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #Unity #unityengine

What do you think of the name Bargeist? The name draws inspiration from Barghest, the Northern English mythological canine, and the German word for ghost, “geist.” We’re excited to hear your thoughts! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine

Here's the "blocking" of a couple new Deerdog animations! Blocking establishes the key frames in an animation to make sure the designers are happy with the direction. From here, the rest of it will be fully animated. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #Unity #unityengine

The terrain issue (caused by the engine upgrade) we showed in a previous post has been fixed! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Someone please offer Deerdog a tissue! This cute little sneeze is a rare idle animation of theirs. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Work continues on upgrading our environments and terrain into the new engine version. We've hit a bit of a snag and turned the world into Minecraft. (Don't worry, it's already almost fixed!) #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

We recently talked about Chime Towers and Auras. What do you think happened to this Chime Tower? #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

We mentioned in the newsletter that Nyazen's walk cycle has taken a few attempts. Here's one of the first tries! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #Cat

We've been testing out a new texturing method for Nyazen's model! (These aren't the actual colors) #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Here's a glimpse of Nyazen in the game engine! The eyes aren't glowing yet (they will!) and this is still WIP. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #Cat

We added Prophect to the Beta last week! Their unique playstyle blends Light, Dark, and Mecha abilities, offering unique and interesting skill expression for all player levels. It's the most unique playstyle players have had access to so far. If you enjoy Lumala or Skulken, give Prophect a try! #KF

Look forward to a Beta patch adding Prophect as a playable character sometime in the next few days! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector #update

Since it was difficult to see in the newsletter, here's a better look at the new ability Deadly Premonition! Notice how the damage scales based on how much damage you inflict while the mark is active. #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine

Even though things haven't gone exactly as expected, we're still working hard to to make the game we envisioned. Here's an example of one of our incremental improvements, the evolution screen! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector

Here's an up close look at a Brihorn animation which might not be noticed during normal play! #monstertaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #KindredFates #KF #Unity #unityengine #monstercollector
