Hi everyone,
This week we continued working on more elemental spells. The new one is called Lightning Lance. This unleashes a line of lightning to any direction from the hero. It damages multiple enemies along the line. This spell is also pure intelligent based and scales with intelligence only.



Another thing we changed has to do with the balance of the game. Meditation skill is now much more improved and it further lowers the stamina cost and cooldown times of the Talent Stones.

Since we are improving the intelligent based characters, we decided to introduce the most convenient weapon too: Staves. These will be two-handed weapons. Their damage will not be too high but they will grant defense bonus as a default property. Of course they will have the usual suffix and prefixes as other weapons in the game.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!

Here is a small update with changes and bug fixes.

Hi everyone,
This week we worked on two traditional fantasy spells most wanted by our community: Fireball and Teleport. We previously had Explosive Arrow Talent Stone which works like Fireball but it required an arrow and a target enemy. Its damage scaled with dexterity and intelligence. And a good bow of course helped.



Fireball Talent Stone is different because it is more powerful and scales only with intelligence. Also it can be cast on any tile as long as there is line of sight. So pure intelligent based characters will benefit from this the most.



The other Talent Stone is Teleport. This one is quite valuable because it doesn’t require line of sight to the target tile hero wants to teleport to. Hero can go to another room even if there is a wall in between, as long as it is within 5 tiles distance. It can change the course of events dramatically especially if you are low on health and surrounded.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!

Hi everyone,
This week we worked on two new tile types to enrich the battlemaps and dungeons. One of them is Spiked Trap. This trap is initially not activated and seems like holes on the ground. When someone steps on it, spikes come out of holes and damage whoever stepped. It gives bleed damage too.



Enemies who step on it panic and try to move away from the trap. Then the big spikes stay visible and enemies will not step on the trap again. But our hero can. This brings interesting tactical choices. Should I step on spikes and take a little damage to secure an escape or is it better to avoid the trap?

The other tile type is Spider Web. These come up whenever there is a spider as an enemy. Who ever steps on a Spider Web will slow down for 3-7 turns except spiders.



If our hero is in bat form or levitating, he can avoid these tiles. Also flying enemies are not affected. The other thing is that our hero can push the enemies to these tiles and activate them. These will add new fun tactics to the game.

That’s all for this week. Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone,
We are ready with a new update. We introduced three kinds of barrels that can explode and two overworld incidents where you can see plenty of them. These barrels explode when hit and damage adjacent squares granting interesting and fun tactical advantages to the hero. But enemies with ranged attacks can also hit these barrels. Also they explode each other causing a chain reaction.

See below the details of the update:
