Update #43: Re-Sorting Inventory

[HawK-EyE]

Une Enorme update avec beaucoup de bonne nouvelles :

 

We’re extremely happy with how the new inventory is coming along. It greatly reduces the amount of unnecessary micromanagement and is much more visually appealing than the previous iteration. Instead of being list based, we were able to make it more icon based with unique icons for all items. The list style inventory works well for a game like WL2 with lots of items to collect, but lacks a bit of the soul that comes with an icon based inventory. There is something special about getting to see all the items you own in one spot. We had always hoped to go with an icon based system, but early in the project we were hesitant to commit to it due to the greatly increased art costs. We’re now at the point where we feel comfortable taking on the challenge and know it will make for a better experience.

The image above shows the new backpack. Long gone are the days of hitting the backpack button and having 4-7 packs pop open. By selecting the party member along the side, you can see the contents of their pack. If you select the “All” button, it will show you the contents of all packs in one easy to read space. Hovering over an item in this mode will highlight the party member on the left to show whose bag it’s in. Drag it to the PC you want to have it and you’re good to go!

When you mouse over the item, you will get all stat and useful information displayed in a small pop-up. You also can further examine the items by double clicking to read the details and see any additional description information.

This grid-based inventory is not limited for space. You can manually keep it sorted yourself under the all items tab if you have your own system in mind, or have the game auto-sort it under one of the other tabs (which will not re-set your manual sorting).

At the same time, we’re also updating the character, attribute, skills and dossier screens. No longer will they be full screen but instead a more compact window, which gives us space to combine it with another screen. Additionally, dropping items in the world, adding them to hotkey bars, and trading becomes much easier when you can move this compact window around to the most convenient screen spot.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new inventory vs. the previous one. Please leave comments on our forums or in this Kickstarter update. It will be included in our next code update so those in the beta will go hands-on shortly!

Il y a aussi une novella pour les backers only. Et en anglais seulement. Mais je suis sympa je vous la met en pièce jointe.

Je me disais justement qu'il y avait aucune nouvelle. Cette bêta commence à durer. Ils vont le sortir quand le jeu ?

[HawK-EyE]

Oh je pense que ça va durer encore un bon moment. Mais si c'est pour le bien du jeu, je dit pourquoi pas.

Encore une bonne nouvelle, pour les personnes qui ont acheté le jeu à 20$ sur kickstarter, il sera possible d'avoir accès à la beta pour 10$. Et cela dès la prochaine update a priori.

Est ce qu'ils vont travailler sur l'optimisation du jeu ? Parce que c'est une catastrophe ! Bon avec mon pc je le fais tourner tout à fond sans aucun lag mais mes ventilos s'emballent. Je n'ai pas ce problème en faisant tourner à fond batman arkham origins, mon pc reste silencieux.

Oui enfin, c'est optimiser chez moi aussi ça chauffe mais bon c'est fait pour....
