Development News: Restless Spirits Must Rest!
Hi everyone,
Happy new year to all. May the tides bring you triumph!
Development of the lore update is almost finished. We are now playing the game and making the last changes (hopefully) about balance and things. There have been many additions and changes since I last wrote a Development News.
First of all, Lore can be spent to find not only treasure islands, but some dungeons too. So two new dungeon types are added to the mix.
One of them is the “Ancient Tomb” dungeon which is home to mummies and a mummy lord. This dungeon has lots and lots of traps. Mummies are slow but they cast a strong curse called “death curse” which is conveniently named to emphasize its seriousness and strength. This curse kills the hero after ten days exactly at midnight. The only solution is to drink a remove curse potion before it is too late.
The other dungeon our hero can find is the “Golden Citadel”. The map to this dungeon is the most expensive map. Hero needs 1000 lore points to unluck this dungeon which is full of gold. The residents of this dungeon is mostly gold golems.
I also worked on the quests for Lore Wardens. One of them is called “Restless Spirits Must Rest!”. A famous historian unearthed a long lost crypt but disturbed some Restless Spirits in the process. He locked himself in a silver cage to be safe from the undead and we need to save him.
The other quest allows us to find lots of books. A lost library from the second age of cataclysm has been found. The Wardens sent an archeologist to investigate it but he didn't return. There is a new enemy boss in this dungeon too: Arachne!
By reading books and finding statues or listening bards, hero can collect lore and unlock maps to these places. There are 10 treasure island maps, 5 ancient tomb maps and 3 golden citadel maps. All of these places have unique items and other riches. Hero can unlock these places in any order he likes.
Hero can also buy skill points with lore. Lore mastery skill enhances the ability to collect lore, so we are testing the game to be sure this new skill is profitable and fun to play with.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
