  Here is a screen of the Amguns' apartment. And also a recreation of this Shiden (sword) being swung at Sandor. I think the goal is to teach Sandor that he should never stand up while grownups are swin... Continue reading

  
• Game Engine Test: Veld Sea Soundscape
  October 01, 2024 by swordofmoonlight

  This update is just the basics. What may be new is some monsters like ghosts are animated now, and I discovered a bug with the new shadows in PCVR mode, that this patch fixes. This is the first patch... Continue reading

  I'm having a hard time with this. It's mostly summer heat, and sweat, and schizophrenia though. No more peace and quiet and alone time. Please share this image, enthusiastically :)... Continue reading

• animated NPC shadows
  July 08, 2024 by swordofmoonlight

  EDITED: I messed up this patch (fixed) by forgetting to include the new DLL file in the EX/SYSTEM folder. I'm really sorry, it's been a while since I've done this and my life is so chaotic now with sc... Continue reading
• Variable frame rate animation
  May 03, 2024 by swordofmoonlight

  It's taken me a while to put out this release. I'll be honest, I'm not able to work on SOM on most days because of my schizophrenia and cascading life challenges, but I'm hoping that I can turn this p... Continue reading

  I've uploaded a missing wind sound effect from the previous update (for when running, etc.) and now when monsters die they turn somewhat white or gray more like in the PlayStation version. I'm trying... Continue reading
• 120hz + computer-generated shadows
  October 08, 2023 by swordofmoonlight

  1

  I haven't updated in a while. Sorry. This update runs at twice the frame rate (120fps) from previous and should be more regular. This was accomplished by upgrading the compiler from MSVC2010 to 2019 a... Continue reading
• Transparency enhancement & doors animation fix
  April 24, 2023 by swordofmoonlight

  1

  I've been partly out of commission for a while. It's taken me too long to get this fix up. What it is is improve transparency by sorting triangles. I may've already uploaded something like this, but i... Continue reading

• Notice: VR product compatibility info
  August 21, 2022 by swordofmoonlight

  Update: There's some mixed news about VR sets potentially not working with 32-bit apps. Valve Index is definitely one. Oculus and WMR are good. Some evidence Pimax works, I've updated the app to work... Continue reading
• Triple event, incl. PCVR via WMR+OpenXR & Secrets of KF and the Moonlight Sword!
  August 18, 2022 by swordofmoonlight

  PART 1 (itch.io) Since last update I took a stint working on an animation upgrade for my 3D editing software. And after that I've worked on VR for Windows. I've uploaded a new download with "PCVR" and... Continue reading

  I'm trying to rewrite this page in the next few days. I've enabled donations at $0.00 but it still prints out $2 and this annoys me, but also the Install Instructions section has disappeared (it's cop... Continue reading

  Small update, https://www.twitch.tv/lthelady ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuWW5qD2Kvw0uJIYlLeqn7A ) made a video. I recommend watching in a small window, but if you can make it through the parts... Continue reading
• #10 New (final?) antialiasing upgrade

  Briefly I've uploaded a patched version with a new complementary effect that enhances antialiasing in some problem scenarios to varying degrees. Hopefully with supersampling it's effectively perfect f... Continue reading
• PS4 and PS5 controllers finally detected?
  May 31, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  I guess PS4 and PS5 controllers weren't working before now, because detection wasn't working. I learned this to my horror tonight after trying them on a new computer. I blame myself because I should'v... Continue reading
• Shield and counter/heavy attack demo
  May 12, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  The latest download has a new shield system you can try, and on the opposite hand a counter-attack system. The latter is actually an NPC feature of Sword of Moonlight. I think it's very interesting an... Continue reading
• #9 Menu buttons / where to look for future info
  April 16, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  Just want to add, the shoulder buttons should work inside of menus now as long as the "action" and "menu" buttons are assigned to them. Also the skeletons are now mobile. Which is neat but causes prob... Continue reading

  February 19, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  The ZIP file now has a supersampling feature that is designed to complement its novel anti-aliasing system and elegantly solve some LOD (level of detail) problems. The anti-aliasing with this feature... Continue reading
• #7 A sizable update (loads of stuff inside)
  January 30, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  First of all, I'm going to be doing fewer of these "update" devlogs because (1) I noticed they go into itch.io's public listing, and I really just want to be able to share bare bones notes to subscrib... Continue reading
• #6 Minor Fixes (and items)
  January 16, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  *It seems an object interaction/activation bug made it into the last upload I made. Though most everything says "No Use", so no big deal. (A change made it so it only worked from in front of objects,... Continue reading
• #5 Update (D3DX9_43.dll and D3DCompiler_43.dll)
  January 09, 2021 by swordofmoonlight

  1

  Sorry to keep updating, some have said "it doesn't work" so I got an idea from another project on itch.io that D3DX9_43.dll can just be added to the files. I didn't know it was a single DLL. I got the... Continue reading

  Update: I've reuploaded the file with some fixes. Mainly I think I've finally solved a stubborn kneecapped jumping glitch that would occur on the very edge of platforms. Also I felt a last minute chan... Continue reading
