As Camelot Unchained transforms from a ramshackle collection of ideas and features into a cohesive product, it’s neat to see glimpses of the game that it’s to become. Even something as seemingly mundane as an inventory screen can be exciting in this context.
In this week’s newsletter, the team shows a mockup that it is using to create the character gear and inventory screen. One interesting design element that the team is working on concerns the relationship between inventory and speed: “We finished off the first part of encumbrance penalties item on the Beta 1 Checklist. The weight of items in your inventory now affect player’s movement speed. Movement speed is also affected by exceeding one’s carrying capacity stat.”
The Camelot Unchained team continues to work on many features for the upcoming beta, including rendering improvements, seamless zone transitions, and torches (in each faction flavor). The studio even has a guy out back swinging different tools and recording them to make a database of sounds for weapons.
See how the inventory screen is being designed below!
