Terra Randoma News

Hi Everyone,
This week we worked on several fronts. One of them is introducing more accessibility features wanted for a long time. We added more keyboard shortcuts including numpad movement for all eight directions and “F” key for ranged attack.

Also there are already shortcut keys for the action bar but there was no indication of it on the shortcut list. We corrected that too.



We added several Talent Stones including but not limited to:

• Bleeding Arrow - As the name suggests, this is a ranged attack that bleeds the enemy.
  
• Toxic Arrow - This is a powerful talent stone that deals with multiple enemies. It poisons the enemy and adjacent enemies for 2-4 turns.
  
• Circle of Poison - This is a utility talent stone for more defensive tactics. It conjures a circle of poison that has 30% chance to poison adjacent enemies that hit you.
  

We also added an overworld incident: An Old Man Needs Help… Hero encounters an old man who seems to have lost his dog and asks for help. It requires a wilderness survival skill check to find the dog. But hero may as well discover that this was a trap and the old man is not what he seems to be.

Hi Everyone,

A new update arrives. This time we put the final boss and its 3 servants to the game. With this update, players can now beat the game! Thanks to everyone who helped us to achieve this milestone. Here are the update notes.

ADDITIONS

• End game boss: Aquathra, the World Devourer. It is a kraken with eight tentacles. Tentacles have regeneration and poison ability. Kraken head has bleed ability.
  
• New battlemap: A beach with a shipwreck.
  

• New enemy: Siren. She is a ranger and has confuse ability.
  
• New enemy: Aquatril Golem. It has regeneration ability.
  
• New Enemy: Sea Serpent. It has poison and bleed ability.
  

• New dungeon type: Coastal caves. There can be water tiles inside these caves. There are also ore rocks and other rock formations.
  
• New NPC: Elder Alchemist. After completing the 5 tablet fragments, the hero can take a quest from any lord to meet the Elder Alchemist at the Alchemist's Tower. Note that the old save files with 5 fragments completed will also work. Elder Alchemist reads the tablet and explains the hero what to do next.
  
• Journal has been updated to include the new bosses.
  
• A new stat added to journal: Towns saved. Adventurer's guild gives discount according to the number of towns hero has saved. Towns can be saved from bandit invasions or pest infestations.
  

CHANGES AND BUGFIXES

• Fixed a bug about defensive talent stones.
  
• Fixed Dark Ray drops.
  
• Bleed ability of the enemies can't be more than 25%
  
• Rebalanced late game enemies. (they were too powerful)
  

Hi Everyone,
This week, we worked on the boss: the World Devourer. It is almost finished and the update is near.



The World Devourer is a kraken. It has a giant head with teeth like sharks and eight tentacles with regeneration ability. After hero fights the three servants, the Kraken shows up at coasts attacking ships. Elder Alchemist tells the hero that the kraken will attack the towns and urges him to the battle.

The battlemap is a beach with a shipwreck. We are making tests and balancing the battle.



We also put Aquatril Golem and Sea Serpent Champions as well, so now Terra Randoma’s main questline will be playable from start to finish.

May the tides bring you triumph!

Hi Everyone,
This week we worked on the Servants of the World Devourer’s dungeons. These dungeons have cave like large halls. They appear mostly on coasts of the island.



Since they are very close to sea, they have rooms with water tiles. They also use different prop sets than regular dungeons. They have ore rocks but no weapon racks or bookcases.



Sirens and Coral Spiders are regular inhabitants of these dungeons. Siren’s ranged attack with confussion ability paired with Coral Spider's bleed, makes these dungeons quite dangerous. But there are lots of riches to be earned too.



We also made the Elder Alchemist’s secret lab where you can meet him after collecting 5 fragments of the ancient tablet. He will take the fragments from you and read the text on the tablet written in a forgotten language.



It appears that before facing the World Devourer, hero must confront its three servants. First one is the Dark Ray Champion.

Hi Everyone,

This week we worked on the last boss “The World Devourer” and its three servants, Dark Ray, Aquatril Golem and the Sea Serpent. As mentioned last week, Dark Ray has slow ability. Aquatril Golem has regeneration ability due to the unknown qualities of the mysterious aquatril ore. And finally, Sea Serpant has poison and bleed at the same time. There is also a new enemy which will come at late game dungeons and sea tiles: The Siren. She will confuse the hero and add challange to the servant dungeons. 3d models are ready and they will be in the game once the questing is updated. We updated the journal too. Note that these are all works in progress.





After the hero collects all five fragments of the ancient tablet, he will be directed to the Alchemy Tower to meet the renown Elder Alchemist. Then the Alchemist will read the tablet and guide the hero to each servant’s dungeon. Hero must conquer these all to finally meet the World Devourer.
