About: An EO Christmas Story

Christmas miracle: Baby pengu
|
|
'' .. Plot? ''
Last year, the bar was set high with a crashed Santa and a robot Santa mysteriously hidden in a cave. This year, things get even wilder with an angry penguin and the enigmatic 'wandering wiseman' with lore still to be revealed, creating an interesting mix of eccentric characters.
The outcome? A giant penguin attempting to steal the Christmas Baby Penguin miracle at the Aeven church, while the wandering wise man roams Aeven. Robotic Santa, or Swaggy Nick, is on a quest to find the wise man and upgrade his Santa protocols, all while collecting gift tickets dropped by the Mega Penguin to claim presents from the box.
Meanwhile, Crashed Santa is still stranded at the crash site, desperately crafting and trading more loot in exchange for your help.

About: Npc Mechanics (Statemachine)
|
|
|
State machine
The npc now has a state machine setup that can be instructed with a set of attachable npc Stages, which can be visually edited in the server's Pub Studio software. If no stages are attached, the npc will remain in its main loop (auto mode) indefinitely, handling basic behaviors such as passive, scared, and aggressive states, among others.
Npc stages
A completely new UI has been introduced for npc stages. An npc can have one or more stages attached, each triggered by an npc's HP level. These stages contain lists of state decisions and actions, allowing for a flexible behavior system.
State decisions + actions
npc Stages hold a list of one or more decisions. These decisions alter the npc's main loop to a one-time triggered loop, which can be activated either upon entering the stage or by a timer while the npc is in the stage. Additionally, each stage has a list of possible actions, which are always triggered regardless of the npc's current stage or loop.

About: PUB Studio integrations
|
'' Full Visual Editing ''
The latest update to Pub Studio introduces full visual editing capabilities. World designers can easily create and modify game lootchests using an intuitive interface. All changes made are automatically saved in efficient binary pub-format files, ensuring seamless compatibility with both the server and client.
Another improvement is the integration of Lootchests into the design system. Designers now have the ability to quickly assemble new lootboxes or make adjustments to existing ones. This feature streamlines the process of creating and updating loot setups, making it faster and easier to customize gameplay rewards.
In this setup, the Christmas rewards are configured with a 45% chance of receiving a Golden Present, while the Halloween lootbox had a 60% chance for 'fallback prizes', including 40% for bandit drops (candies) and 20% for slime.
