Petrifying Arrows, Freezing Stones and Other Noteworthy Developments
Hi everyone,
We reached an important milestone that completes the questing system: you can now abandon your quests at Terra Randoma. Once you take on a quest, it is put on your quest log, and marked on your map. It may take you to a single battlefield or a dungeon. You will need to save someone or retrieve an item and go back to the settlement to report to the NPC to complete your mission.
You can now abandon a quest by simply clicking on that option at the bottom of your quest screen before attempting to accomplish it. Maybe you planned a route and one quest ruins the possibility of a perfect circle of a questing spree, or feels like too much a hassle. If you are already in the dungeon or the battlefield, you have to run to the exit to abandon the quest.
However, there is a price. Each time you abandon a quest, you lose 10 points of hard-earned reputation points at the originating town, and 2 points each in rest of the towns. Reputation is very important in Terra Randoma, it not only enables you get better prices at the shops but also is required if you want to take on quests from town Lords, find riches that only they can tell you about, and complete one of the Meta goals.
We also added new enemies that will establish Gorgon Faction: Snakeman Warriors with their poison dipping spears and Gorgon Rangers with their petrifying bows and throwing daggers. We are getting their dungeon done, the interiors are almost ready.
We added a few types of Long Swords. Like in most RPGs, Long Swords give more damage than Short Swords but are heavier therefore consume more stamina.
We added a Freezing Blade Talent Stone, which freezes the enemy and gives ice damage over time. As we mentioned before, Talent Stones are simply yet beautifully carved stones that enable you to perform some special moves during combat. They consume Stamina and need to cool down a few turns before they can be used again. Some characters already have one talent stone at the beginning of the game, depending on your choice of background. Freezing Blade Talent Stone will be found at the Highlander’s starting backpack. Otherwise, talent stones can be bought from the adventurer’s guild.
