Development News: Lava Rivers and Ores
Hi everybody,
Here is the news about the latest developments of Terra Randoma.
There are many map types with rivers and lakes for forest and grassland battles. But mountain areas were not varied as much. There was only one type of map with procedurally located rocks. So it needed some development.
We are now working on lava tiles so we can make lava rivers or lava lakes at the mountain areas. This will enrich the map variety. We want to use lava tiles at the Minotaur Dungeon too. Creatures with fire immunity or flying ability can pass through these tiles. The hero can also fly over them if he shapeshifts into a bat (keep in mind though if he turns back into human form above the lava tile, he will be no more.)
We are introducing a new type of chestlike object which is breakable: Ore Vein. There will be four types, copper, silver, iron, gold. Hero can hit and crush them like he chops trees. They drop metal ore, stone, or gems. Sometimes they turn into a stone golem instead of loot. They will appear mostly at the mountain areas but rarely in other places too.
Regular rocks will be breakable too to avoid them blocking the way through lava rivers. However, they won’t drop valuable items but they may turn into a stone golem as well.
With the addition of ores, mountains will be a new source of income for the brave heroes.
