DevBlog #6

Hello everyone, Welcome to the next DevBlog of Shiva. We have had some minor relapse and also one major relapse in the past few weeks. However, we have caught up with our relapse. We are fine now again. The only bad message is that we now have to push the beta to August and the official launch of the project to September.

1. The Shiva Trailer

As you could already see on the GIF in the attachment, a nice cinematic trailer is in work in the background. We came across a talented professional animator through some contacts. With him we are currently working on the completion of the trailer. It will be a feast for the eyes!

• 2. Anti Bug Functions

  This point is kept very short. We have done a lot of anti bug measures. However, we think it was worth mentioning, because we spent a lot of time on it.

  3. Vote 4 Bonus

  We've implemented a Vote4Bonus system. You will receive an item that you can activate, for voting successfully every day. This item will grant you additional helpful bonuses.

  4. Wedding System

  We have reworked the entire wedding system. Love points as you knew them before no longer exist. However, the love points icon is still active when your life companion is on the same map as you. From that moment on, both players receive a bonus of 5% increased item drop and 5% more base experience. Likewise, same-gender marriage are possible on Shiva. Teleporting to your partner also works as usual, but only teleports to maps that your character has access to will work. Furthermore, there is a new slot in the equipment section of your inventory where you can equip wedding jewelry. The jewelry has received brand new bonuses and the crafting of this jewelry will also surprise you. If you've ever been to a jeweler, you can guess how it will work.

  

  
  

  
  

  5. Future plans

  In the next time we will have to work on the dungeons again, because we have some new features planned. Also we are currently working on the complete translation of the client. We are on the right track towards beta.

  
  

  As always, we thank you for reading the DevBlog and for the trust you have in us.

  
  

  Your entire Shiva Team!
