Terra Randoma News

Hi Everyone,
Here is a smal bugfix update

• When finding a hunting opportunity while raining, the text was written as "deer tracks" although the hunt was a rabbit.
  
• Fixed an issue about package delivery missions. When the bandit demanded the package, the hero was unable to give it to him.
  

Hi everyone,
We are ready with a new update. This version introduces a long requested feature: A local scoreboard for ironman runs. There are other additions too. See below the details.

Version 0.82.08
ADDITIONS

• Hall of legends added. This is a local scoreboard for ironman runs. It holds 20 entries and can be accessed at the title screen.
  
• Four types of monster nests added to certain parts of the game (Snake, Spider, Giant Mite, Rat). These are holes in the ground that spawn enemies. They can be destructed and looted.
  
• Snake nests added to the gorgon dungeon.
  
• Giant Mite nests added to the minotaur dungeon.
  
• Rat nests added to the ratman dungeons.
  
• Garden of Cocoons incident added. Hero finds a peculiar place full of cocoons. There is a spider nest in the middle of the battlefield. Cocoons are full of loot from the unlucky victims of the giant spiders.
  
• Hole in the Ground incident added. The hero comes to a place with a curious hole in the ground. The rocks around the area glimmer with precious minerals.
  
• A new small spider type added: Burrowlurker.
  

CHANGES

• Mites are now weak to ice.
  
• Completing Minotaur dungeon gives a talent stone as a reward.
  
• Goat cheese added to rat drops.
  
• Changed the icon for frost blade with a more suitable one.
  

FIXES

• On rare occasions a monster won't die even it has negative hp. Since I couldn't reproduce this bug, I made an experimental solution.
  

Hi everyone,
Last week we worked on a long wanted feature: a local scoreboard to keep scores. This will be called “Hall of Legends”.

Scores will be calculated for the ironman (permadeath) mode. Score calculation will take into account experience, number of days hero survived and fame. Experience and number of days are essential parts of the score but fame also contributes. Difficulty level will also change the score dramatically with a positive or negative multiplier.



The score sheet will hold 20 entries and will be accessible through the title page. Hope this will make the game more fun for permadeath players.

Another addition we worked on is monster nests. These are basically one-square holes on the ground that spawn monsters. There is a spider nest and a rat nest for now.



They may come up at the dungeons or on the overworld. These nests will spawn enemies every 10-15 turns. They are destructable and weak to fire-based attacks. So a fireball or a bottle of lavafall may come handy.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!

Hi everyone,

• If you close the alchemy UI with the Q key while you have your cursor over a UI element, the tooltip was persisting on the screen.
  
• Investigating a house with coral spiders revealed a ghost instead of a coral spider.
