Development News: Do You Possess the Courage to Lay Thy Hands Upon This Blade?
Hi everyone,
Following the cooking update, we worked on another long time wanted feature: inventory sorting. With the latest updates, the ingredients and raw food that our hero collects increased dramatically so this feature became a priority.
In the next update there will be a button that sorts the inventory according to item type, first potions than food etc. Every page of the inventory will be sorted separately.
We also worked on some new overworld incidents. One of them is the “Sword in the Stone” incident. Hero must persuade the ethereal defender of the sword that he is brave and worthy enough to wield it. If he succeeds certain skill checks, he may get the sword without fighting. It is a magical sword with one suffix or prefix. If hero’s one handed skill is more than his two-handed skill, he will get a one-handed sword and vice versa.
Another incident is about cultists conducting a ritual under an unearthly statue. There is a new kind of thievery skill check on this incident which is “Investigate Cautiously”. If this skill check succeeds, hero will face less enemies and learn how many there are in the battle map before commiting to battle. But if he fails, it will mean that he made too much noise and the enemies called for back up. So he will need to fight more enemies. This skill check makes thievery more important in the game and we are looking for ways to integrate it to some existing incidents too.
After the battle, the hero will have the chance to search the otherworldly statue. It holds some surprise treasures, but only a hero with strong mind resistance can safely claim them without slipping into the madness of the abyss.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
