An Infested Cabin in the Woods

Hi everyone,

Terra Randoma Beta testing continues and we are adding new content based on comments from testers, writers, content creators and fellow indie developers.

Most importantly, we decided to add more quests to towns and more incidents to the overworld, to make new player experience more interesting. We aim to increase variety and replayability on the one hand, and imply existence of a main quest on the other.

Adding Aquathrians was the first step to this and now we have new enemies:

  • Cultists: Seeking to awaken the Ancient Evil that lies beneath the island, these enemies kidnap people, search for artifacts and use violent means to raise funds for their mission. Like other human characters in the game, they may equip both melee and ranged weapons and they are not shy of using poison or other tricks.
  • Coral Spiders: Allies to both Cultists and Aquathrians, these amphibious creatures move slow but have high defense. Their blade-sharp claws enable bleed attacks.




We added variations to the townsfolk quests as well. They used to ask you to retrieve a stolen object or release a kidnapped relative from enemies. Now they can also ask you to take revenge from a villain or find an artifact. We also extended escort mission so now if bandits ambush you while you are escorting someone, they will ask you to surrender the NPC to them, and you may decide that he is not worth the fight.

We also added a brand new quest type: Infested (or Haunted) house. Townsfolk now may require you to clean a summer house or cabin in the woods from certain invaders.



We are adding more variety on other fronts too. One of the chest-likes that you meet is a Dead Adventurer. If you search him, you can find all sorts of items. With new additions, you can now meet other unlucky NPCs on the overworld and inside dungeons with more specific loot, like a dead Alchemist with more possibility to find potions.

Speaking of content creators, here is a few more preview gameplay videos you can watch:

We also want to refer to this great first impression article by hardcase on turnbasedlovers where he concluded as follows: “What I really appreciated above anything else is the fact that Terra Randoma tries to represent a ‘new kind’ of roguelike: very accessible for novices but also very enjoyable for hardcore fans of the genre.”
