Damage reduction is in the game.

HOW DAMAGE REDUCTION WORKS

Damage reduction works by equipping clothing items to each clothing slot (hat, body, legs and shoes).

Wearing no clothes (naked) will result in a minus damage reduction (you will take more damage!). Once you take off all your clothes, it will have a -40% damage reduction.

HOW DAMAGE REDUCTION IS CALCULATED

Damage reduction is calculated by adding all your clothing slot’s damage reduction together to give a total percentage of damage reduction.

(damage reduction = legs-reduction + body-reduction + shoe-reduction + hat-reduction)

DAMAGE REDUCTION ITEMS

• Normals Hats: +2.5%
• Riot Hat: +10%
• Hard Hat: 7%
• No Hat: 0%

• Normal Body Items: +2.5%
• Ripped T-Shirt (Starting T-Shirting): 0%
• No Legs: -20%

• Normal Leg Items: +2.5%
• Ripped Jeans (Starting Jeans): 0%
• No Legs: -20%

• Normal Shoes: +2.5%
• No Shoes: 0%

INVENTORY SCREEN

The damage reduction total is displayed on your inventory screen (TAB).

It’s mostly world design and character fixes!

WEAPONS

I’m now transitioning all the weapons to the new weapon system. This will take some time but will give a better experience. The new weapon system works with the new inventory system, where players can now unequip and drop their weapons.

There is now only 1 weapon slot, down from 2.

You can also pick up and store weapons right inside of the inventory, it no longer uses the weapon slots.

Here is a list of all the weapons that have been updated to the new system:

• Wooden Sword
• Hunting Bow
• Fire Axe
• Torch
• Heckler 5
• Wrench

NEW WEAPON: PITCH FORK

We had to include a pitch fork. Here it is!

Here it is for the First Person View:

MAP DEVELOPMENT:

We’ve been working hard on the new map.

We’ve included a industrial compound:

A farm:

A small military check point:

THE MAP SO FAR

CHARACTER UV

The main character’s UV has been fixed, it no longer has edges or caps on the corners. The left arm and foot UV has been flipped to allow for capes.

CHARACTER SKIN

If you are interested in developing your own skin to be put into the game you can download the UV here (blank) and here (example)

There is no tool to preview the skin on our model right now, but we’re planning on making one soon.

We would like you to keep the player face so it stays consistent with the other skins.

That’s it for today’s update. Remember you can follow the development of Nomad on our Twitch channel. We openly listen to suggestions and feedback and we even add your items in!

A big update!

NEW WEAPON: WRENCH

The wrench has been added into the game.

And here it is for the FPS view:

FIRE AXE

The fire axe has been retextured.

INDUSTRIAL SPAWNS

Industrial spawns are now in the game and have a separate loot table.

NEW INVENTORY SCREEN

The inventory screen has been updated. The crafting menu has been moved to its own crafting screen. The inventory now comes with “Equipped” screen, it shows what your player has equipped.

You can unequip and drop items from this new menu.

Here is the new crafting menu. Its cleaner and can be opened by the ` button.

BACK PACK SYSTEM

I’ve been working hard to get the back pack system into the game. It’s now working, yay! Here are some back packs you can get in the game. Some back packs also come in different colour variants.

SAVING

I started to work on the saving system. This system will save your inventory items, current weapons, position, hp, food and drink. Right now I have the basics down, it currently only saves position, food, drink and HP. Inventory items will follow soon!

FALLING FAILSAFE

Hate when you somehow bug through the floor and your player keeps failing? Well, I’ve added a failsafe to Nomad, so if you somehow fall through the floor, you will be teleported to a random spawn point (you won’t die and be forced to respawn).

BIRDS

Birds will now only come out in the day. They will delete when it gets dark.

That’s it for today’s update. Remember you can follow the development of Nomad on our Twitch channel. We openly listen to suggestions and feedback and we even add your items in!

New items and back packs!

NEW ITEM: MOCA COLA

A new drink item is in the game. It’s called Moca Cola.

NEW ITEM: VOLCANIC WATER

A bottle of water is now in the game and ready to go!

NEW ITEM: HOFFINGTON ORGANIC MILK

Love milk? Well Hoffington has got you covered, with his organic milk!

NEW ITEM: SPOILED MILK

Because milk goes bad.

MEDICAL PACK

The medical pack has finally been remodeled into the updated art style.

BACKPACKS

I’m working on the prototype backpack system. Here’s a sneak peak:

That’s it for today’s update. Remember you can follow the development of Nomad on our Twitch channel. We openly listen to suggestions and feedback and we even add your items in!

Tents, camp sites and starting the player building.

TENTS/CAMPSITES

Georgina has been busy modelling the new tent model. There are now camp sites within Nomad, dotted around the map.

PLAYER BUILDING

Player building is now being planned and designed. It will be ready to be developed and implemented into the game within a few days. As I will be focusing on player building, the dev blog will mostly be quiet for a few days. Unless one of the team members have made something.

Will report on any progress.

That’s it for today’s update. Remember you can follow the development of Nomad on our Twitch channel. We openly listen to suggestions and feedback and we even add your items in!

It’s the weekend but we still work, a little!

FIRST PERSON TEXTURE CHANGES

Your first person textures on your hands will now changed based on the costume you are wearing.

Holding the Storm rifle whilst wearing the Phantom Nanosuit. Yes, you can scale houses if you wear the nanosuit.

BUG FIXES & CHANGES

Sniper rifles will no longer have a bugged sound playing.

You can now adjust your AIMED sensitivity.
