Atalla Dev Blog #4 - Climbing System and Special Attacks

Implementing the climbing system. Still not 100%. We'll be adding her ability to climb vines as well.

Other ideas are wall run, spear throw and ability to use the spear as a stepping oject, sliding down vines, etc.

Testing out a few special abilities in game. So far each weapon will have a special attack.

For the prototype there will only be two weapons the spear and bow and arrow. Of course the bow will be unlimited. As we progress we'll be adding more weapons and special abilities.

Since bow will be unlimitted we are thinking of having special arrows that do more damage and will be limited. More info coming soon.

Atalla Dev Blog #3 - Spear Combo Attack, Main Menu, and Enemy AI

Testing out the weapon change from bow to spear. Bow and arrow will be a limited weapon. More weapons will be added later such as an axe and/or small axes one in each hand.

Several combos will be included along with one special attack. Once player has collected enough XP the special attack will be available to use at any time. No one will survive it.

The enemy you see here will eventually be an ogre. There will be two types one with a bow and the other with a spear.

Added enemy AI. There will be different enemies throughout the game but for this demo we'll be focusing on one plus a boss character. Also working on adding xp for special attacks, etc.

Menu is done for now. Plenty of features such as adjusting music/sfx volume, changing xbox controller buttons to your liking, and more.

Starting to add a few sfx and music. Will post some of them soon.

Atalla Dev Blog #2 - Boar Transformation and Polishing Controls

In this update we are testing out the boar AI and animal transformation. Whenever the character player kills an animal for food you will have the ability to transform into that animal and use its attacks to fight off other animals.

Still need to figure out the best controls using both the keyboard/mouse and xbox controller. Might just scrap the use of the keyboard/mouse entirely.

Transforming into an animal will help in advancing to other parts of the level where you might not fit in human form. Other animals we have in mind are a monkey, elephant, black jaguar, and more.

Adding blend spaces in unreal to smooth animation transitions. Jump transition still needs work.

Still smoothing out the animation transitions. They feel good for now. We wont take these to final since this demo is only a quick prototype. We'll be adding more features along the way.

More clean up on the shooting mechanics. They are done for now.

Atalla Dev Blog #1 - New 3rd Person Action Adventure Game

Free webssite template by Free-Template.co

Atalla is a 3rd person action adventure game being developed in UE4. We are starting with a single level prototype of the game with almost all the working features. Game is currently in UE4 however, we will be making the switch to UE5 in order to take advantage of all the new features.

I don't want to say too much just yet about the story since it is still under development and will change along the way. The story will focus around a young warrior princess where her entire tribe was wiped out. Now she must go on the hunt and track them down.

The world will be mostly jungle and mayan environment but most likely in a different world, not Earth.

Character controls are work in progress and will be a WIP throughout the prototype. We just want to get it to a good working stage where it wont brake. Her primary weapon of choice will be a bow and arrow with a secondary weapon for close combat.

Her controls will be heavily influence by games such as "God of War", "Horizon Zero Dawn', and "Lost Ember".

The main thing we want to get right is to get all her animations to play as smooth as possible. Her controls will be an important part of development throughout since this is what players will mainly interact with.
