ATLYSS Progress Update - 7/8/2025

8 Jul

Hello everyone, thank you so much for all of your feedback for ATLYSS. I have been taking as much time as I can to read all the feedback provided for the new update that released yesterday. A lot of the game has changed, and I'm aware and learning what outcome is for taking as long as I have on this update.

There will be a new patch for the game, addressing some of the common issues regarding the skill system, mostly pertaining to the Mystic class balancing.

What to expect for this upcoming patch:

Revised Mystic skill cool downs and cast times, alongside skill power adjustments.
For the time being, Lethal Strike will be reverted back to a charge and release skill as it was more stable than the dash modifier. I will find a new solution later on for making the Fighter's dash upgrade work in conjunction with the Mystic and Bandit dash passives.
Adjusted defense dampening on enemies, and slightly lowered health scaling for enemies for parties.
Removal of the Angela quest for Trial of the Stars, replacing it with a different NPC at the Wall of the Stars. The latter was the original plan, but I did not have enough time. To be clear, the Trial of the Stars is not required, despite appearing as an Angela attunement quest.
Reverting the 6 action slot and 4 support slot limitation from the skill actionbars.

There may be more adjustments and additions to this upcoming patch. If so, more information will be provided when the patch releases.

Thank you so much again for your support and your feedback!

Atlyss Progress Update - 6/1/2025

1 Jun

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, thank you for your support for the game and ultimately your patience. It's understandable that there is a lot of tension and I'm well aware of it all. Just to reiterate, there was the lack of transparency and communication that I provided here, and I'm looking to fix that and let everyone know that I am still hard at work on this game. I am eager to keep learning on how to manage this sort of thing so I will do the best I can to maintain things and be as clear as I can.

A lot of the game as it stands on the live / retail version was very unfinished and in prototype condition, but since then I have completely revamped and revitalized a lot of the systems, ultimately making it much easier for me to develop with.

New Skill System

One of the major hurdles that I've had while developing this game was creating skills. Before, skills had a rank system. Each rank used different skill logic objects and parameters, making it a bit of a pain to manage.

Instead, I have gotten rid of the rank system for skills and made them cost a certain amount of skill points. This means there's no level requirement on them either, so you can purchase skills with your points as long as they are available in your skillbook.

To compensate for the removal of the ranks, the skills will scale with their stat attribute. For example Prism being a mind skill, will scale its absorption based on your magic power stat.

All the three primary classes have their skillbooks filled.

In this new Skill System, you will have two actionbars to work with for your alt and primary weapon swaps. Both bars will have four slots for "Action Skills", and two slots for "Support Skills". I chose to do this for balancing and to still provide a sense of limitation for skill loadout building.

New Overworld

The workflow I had while building the old overworld wasn't particularly working well for me. Instead I have opted to use a terrain system for the overworld maps, making things look more natural.

I did experiment with the idea of making one large map containing all of the old segments of the outer sanctum zone, but it ended up being too big of a scope to work with. I have made the choice to keep things segmented, but the new terrain zones make the exploration experience feel more open and free. It's also extremely fast to revise these old maps with the terrain.

New Outer Sanctum

New Effold Terrace

Weather in the Overworld Maps

New Character Selection / Creation Screen

The character selection / creation screen has a new environment and look to it. All of the player models have been refined to look more rounder / softer and less jagged.

Lowest / Thin Proportion example

Highest / Fat Proportion example

Head customization value ranges are increased for some races too.

Netplay Optimization

One of the biggest issues in Atlyss is the netplay performance. Atlyss is primarily a multiplayer focused game, so this was something I wanted to get to the bottom of. Fortunately, I have found many of the causes for the issues with this, and now netplay will be running much smoother for hosts. So far, with up to 6-8 players, the game will still run at over 120fps, at best being near 200fps. There's still a lot of work to do for this, but I am setting aside anymore focus for optimization for netplay until the next public update releases.

Confirmed Level Cap

The confirmed level cap for the game is level 40.

Subclass Development

Development of the subclasses have been going underway, primarily focusing on the Mystic Subclasses. Each of the primary classes will have two subclasses to choose from at level 30.

Fighter - Paladin and Berserker
Mystic - Magus and Bishop
Bandit - Rogue and Engineer

For the next public update, it is most likely that these subclasses will not be finished. The most near complete subclass will be the Bishop.

Moving Forward

I will stay by my word and be committed to continue providing communication and transparency at the best of my ability here each month. Again, I do apologize for taking as long as I am. There is a silver lining to all of this and I'm certain things will turn in a good direction soon.

ATLYSS Progress Update - 2/21/2025

21 Feb

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your support for my project and ultimately your patience. I have been ridiculously busy developing the game, and I'm happy to report that so far things have been going very smoothly. I understand that it has been a struggle for everyone to wait for a long while for this next update, but rest assured there will be quite a lot of additions and changes for the game.

For context, the game is still pretty deep in development. A lot of the code base had to be re-written and re-adjusted so that for future content additions, it won't pile up into an unmanageable mess. One of the biggest additions for the next update is native gamepad support.

Gamepad support was not something I was going to deep focus on for the game until much later down the line, but having a Steamdeck got me motivated to focus on this support. A lot of the games menus / ui were designed with mouse cursor in mind, so I had to spend a lot of time building a separate cursor / navigation system for the gamepad.

So far, the game is about 96% playable with the gamepad natively. There are only but a few more things I have to do for gamepad support to make it fully functional without having to navigate with the mouse cursor.

Some other changes that I've implemented worth noting:

- Level cap increasing to 30+.
- Hard Mode Crescent Grove.
- Entire stat re-adjustment for all existing armors, and attribute stat bonuses.
- New Skill for Mystic and Bandit.
- Moving Execute to Fighter as an exclusive Skill, creating a new Scroll Skill in it's place.

Fishing system.

Updated the visual aspect of floating combat values, giving them icons and other color variants to tell which element they are.

Added more visual indicators for modified enemies, making them easier to distinguish. They also provide an actual exp bonus, which was a thing that wasn't working in the current builds.

An entire re-work of the World Portal system, making it easier to navigate where you want to go. Waypoints you activate throughout the world can also be used to teleport to other waypoints, not just the Sanctum one anymore.

Addition of Elemental Resistances / Weaknesses and a re-factoring of the Condition system, adding resistances to certain condition groups such as poisons and curses. Equipment can have resistance modifiers applied to them as well.

Steam Lobby category "Realms". These are designed to make lobby navigation a bit more streamlined and easier to navigate, so that you can find the experience you're looking for a lot easier with some visual flare.

There's a lot more that I've done for this update, but these are but just a few!
I will be looking to get this update out as fast as I can, but I do want to be sure that there is plenty to do and that the game provides enough to compensate for the wait.

More info and updates on the progress coming soon.
