Devlog #11 - Secondary modes of the game, second alpha testing info
Hello guys! In this devlog I wanted to share some details about secondary game modes I plan for Gedonia, and also some thoughts on second alpha testing.
From my game developer experience, the best types of projects for Early Access are the ones that allow for a lot of replayability and also give the players a way to play around with game mechanics endlessly. That's why I wanted to add two secondary game modes for Gedonia:
1)Arena mode
2)Dungeon crawl mode
These will be a good option to provide people with some play time, while I work on updates for the main campaign mode, and also quite easy to throw together using existing assets and mechanics developed for open world. I plan to introduce them at the start in early access and develop them as I develop the main game. You would be able to test out different character builds, test the game for bugs or just spend some time there.
[h2]Arena[/h2]
If you participated in the first alpha testing, you might be familiar with this mode already, however I plan to change and improve it significally for the early access release, adding different waves of enemies, boss fights, traps etc. You will be unlocking advanced equipment gradually and will also be able to craft items for yourself.
[h2]Dungeons[/h2]
I plan to use my experience with randomly generated dungeons from previous projects, and add a dungeon crawl mode. You will explore random dungeons, get loot, craft resources, all the good stuff. This type of dungeons will be completely different from dungeons in the main open world, which are all handcrafted with unique mechanics, puzzles and story content.
As I am still in the process of reworking combat system, I plan to make a second alpha testing sometime in march-april to test it out and fix some issues. There will be no open world in this testing, only arena and dungeons modes. As usual, stay tuned for updates.
Thank you for reading this post, stay tuned for updates.
