Terra Randoma News

Hi everyone,
We have continued working on the new enemy cards. We also worked on some new enemy traits since we have more space to write on the new cards now.

One of the new enemy traits is “Vermin”. This is for cockroaches and rats. Enemies with Vermin trait will steal food from hero’s inventory during battle.



“Pack Fury” is for enemies who travel in packs like Hyenas, Rats or Ratmen. Enemies with “Pack Fury” get bonus attack per ally in their pack. So the more crowded they are, the more dangerous they become.

Another new trait is “Rageful”. This is for Minotaurs. Minotaur gets angry when his health is low. So he enrages and gets a significant attack bonus.



We are also introducing “Coward” and “Brave” traits. There were already enemies with “Fearless” trait which gave them immunity to fear and they never ran away from the battle. So introducing “Coward” and “Brave” traits was logical since there was already a system at the background tracking these “bravery/cowardice” values of enemies.

When enemies are low on health, coward enemies have higher chance to run away from battle while brave enemies have much lower chance to run away from battle. Normal enemies without any traits always have 50% chance to run away when they are low on health. (Though they usually comeback after their initial panic wears off.)

Note that enemies with “Brave” trait, as much as we call them brave, are not immune to fear, like enemies with “Fearless” trait are. So fear causing Talent Stones will work on them 100%.

We also wrote the enemy’s minimum and maximum damage to the new enemy cards to let the players calculate risks more accurately hence make more informed tactical decisions.

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

Hi everyone,
This week we worked on an important user interface improvement: enemy cards. When we mouse over an enemy, a horizontal card was showing up at the top of the screen. One of the limiting things about it is that the card is small and only 3-4 enemy abilities can be written on it. And there isn’t a place to write enemy type, like undead or arachnid, which we need in order to develop some new game systems. For example, introducing some weapons which excel against certain enemy types.

We want to write a little bit more info and more abilities for some enemies. Maybe enemies may get, not only prefixes but suffixes too. So we needed a better system.



As a solution, we now moved enemy card to the right up corner. The new card is the same size as the item cards. So there is a unification there. We wrote enemy type and sub type under the name. Another info we wanted to communicate was the XP of the enemy. This way the player can estimate the power level of various enemies and make a more informed decision to which ones to go after first.



The enemy abilities are written in rows and there are some icons as well as a health bar of the enemy to ensure better readability at a glance during the heat of the battle.

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