Nine Lives of Yoki [Ongoing] - Version: 0.9.9

What's New in Nine Lives of Yoki Version - 0.9.9?

What’s New?

Sounds
• We’ve added an incredible number of sounds for virtually every action! To achieve this, we created and refined special media systems to ensure fast and accurate sound playback. And to conserve memory and maintain performance, we carefully selected the track compression settings.
• Each sound is three-dimensional, meaning it follows spatial positioning logic and sound attenuation logic based on the distance from the source.
• A special system for sound attenuation based on the thickness of obstacles in its path has been implemented! WhireFox created a special algorithm that not only checks for obstacles between each sound source and the player but also verifies the thickness of the obstacle itself, with protection against false positives—all while maintaining optimal performance.
• In every cave, a unique sound effect awaits you, creating the sensation of being in a real cave. To achieve this, special sound filters were configured and triggers were set up.
• Another immersive feature is the sound of the player’s footsteps on different surfaces. The logic dynamically determines the surface type and adjusts the walking sound accordingly: on snow, stone, ice, and wood.
• We also didn’t forget about the interface sounds. In fact, specific sounds were selected for some of its elements.

Level Walkthrough
• Now that you’ve collected all the black lilies on the island, you can perform a special ritual at the Tree of Life to exchange the flowers for orbs. During the ritual, Yoki calls upon the ancient gods of this world to lift the souls trapped within the lilies to the heavens, and in return, receive an extract of wishes in the form of pink orbs. In the process, the Tree of Life receives immense energy to once again nourish its massive roots, from which the totem at the edge of the island is carved.
• By interacting with the mysterious totem at this stage, you can complete the first level and subsequently teleport to other islands. For a more convenient and interactive experience, the in-game UI has been configured to support both keyboard/gamepad controls and touch-based controls (mouse clicks and taps).
• And, of course, brand-new animations and sound effects have been created and added for all these new actions!

Other
• A new fun feature is that when Yoki falls into an abyss, she will teleport back with a new magical animation, while consuming her life force. If Yoki is low on health or falls into the abyss while stunned, she will not be able to teleport back.
• We’ve decided to make the “Easy” mode easier and the “Hard” mode more challenging by adjusting the amount of life energy points awarded for defeating mobs and changing the damage dealt by spikes.
• When a mob grabs Yoki, a spam bar appears with a position unique to that mob.
• And other changes.

Fixes
• Removed the ability to zoom in while immobilized in SFW mode
• Fixed a bug where a spam bar would appear when falling off the edge of a block while immobilized
