Update: The Deep-Core Breach
Updated: (Thanks everyone for your feedback...much of it implemented...more in the future!)
- Added the following dungeon "props"
- Traps (2 currently, flat damage and gas trap. Both have stealth/mechanism checks (2 I have in video are in debug mode to test/ NOTE traps are only visible if detected...i just had the visible again for debugging.
- Sarcophagi - Sarcophagi have a random % to spawn on each level and hold treasure but also a random monster. IE could be tough as nails...or wimpy for easy loot haul
- Fountains - provide HP or temporary stat boosts/skill boosts
- Ancient God Statue - A nod to one of my favourite RPGs Phantasie...where you could desecrate the statues or pray at them...desecration meant fighting a powerful Titan, Demi god or if really unlucky/lucky...a Major Deity (Zeus).
- Changed from using sprites to 3d Monsters.
- Workflow -> Create using master style aesthetic prompt (will put below). I use master prompts for items, monsters. So created in ChatGPT then brought into photoshop...cleaned (i recommend prompt includes a white background so easy to extract). Then into Meshy.AI...I do use Trello 2 with my 12gb 4080 mobile but i find while good the quality with Meshy.AI is just better (or any other commercial image to 3d model ie Tripo etc).
- Mouseover and resist/affix system added
- Added weapon/armor affixes...affixes are for now defensive on armour and offensive on weapons so ya very Diablo like but its a good baseline. Rarity...white is base item...blue is a notch up etc...you can see in video I got lucky with a couple of blues.
- Added basic Monster AI...running % when under HP etc etc
A lot of it is placeholder still...for example dungeon walls are flat textures whereas I will be using models with depth and texturing. Same with monsters.
Workflow to date:
- Suno for music
- Pixabay and other sources for SFX
- Meshy.ai for Sprite->3D Model
- Chatgpt/Gemini for prompts and image generation
- Claude Code/Unity Hub etc for editor
