Sky Rocks

Dear Gatewalkers!

Today we will share with you more information about one of the worlds you will explore during your play. This place is called “Sky Rocks” and it is a bit different than the worlds you have already explored.

The biggest difference is terrain - the mountains are in fact a complex of giant rocks, hanging in the air above the clouds. So, you can explore the land only by using drawbridges. The place creates a specific atmosphere - the space is filled with energy and to get rid of it, the streaks of lightning are induced. Also, you will face different creatures - giant raptors.

While walking around the world, players collect the charge. When the player collects 100% of the charge, he is struck by lightning. Lightning brings a large AOE dealing damage - 33% of max shield and destroys durability of all worn items by 10% (including perk).

To get rid of the charge, the player can stay close to the earthing devices that are already existing in the world (e.g. in ancient buildings), build an earthing device or enter a cave. In the cave, the charge slowly diminishes.

If the player has 80% or more charge, the earthing device will take the charge from the player and take the discharge on itself.
If a player with a load greater than 90% is near the earthing device, he loses the charge and the earthing device starts to charge the AOE with lightning and after a small delay the lightning strikes the earthing device. Everyone in range takes damage.

I hope you liked this post! If you wish to talk or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

MEET THE CHARACTERS #5 - URSULINA TRAGAR

Dear Gatewalkers!

Today we will tell you more about a character that you meet in Gatewalkers - the librarian, Ursulina Tragar.

There is no older and wiser person in the Guild than Ursulina. Her knowledge is widely used. You can find her in a library - she basically lives there.

The Guildmaster often goes to her for advice on many matters. Ursulina also teaches general knowledge to young adepts. She loves the Guild and the library and takes care of precious books. Despite the general respect that every member of the Guild has for Ursulina, many Gatewalkers think she is a weirdo because of her beliefs. Ursulina thinks that many notes and materials prove that the cataclysm will come soon and destroy everything. She says that the world is dying cyclically to cleanse itself of the plague that fills it with the essence. Such a filled world is saturated with energy and is slowly being destroyed. The perpetrators of the plague die with the world, and the disease-free world blooms again and creates life. Ursulina believes that we should let the world die, not try to save it with an essence that can forever destroy it.

She is a quiet person who doesn’t get involved with other people’s businesses. She is only close with Victor Hemming, and Arvin Gabnis - the Swordmaster of the Guild. However, for some reason, she is mean towards Loulou Dupont, the huntress, and light armor master. No one knows what happened between them, but Ursulina is not keen on talking about that. Theodor Seed, the prophet, also makes her angry. Well, maybe he just has another opinion about the cataclysm?

We hope you liked to find out a bit more about our characters! Soon we will share with you information about others. If you like to share your thoughts about anything, please don’t hesitate and join our Discord server here:

MEET THE CHARACTERS #4 - VICTOR HEMMING

Hello Brave Gatewalkers!

Today we share with you more info about another character you met during the Demo - Victor Hemming!

Victor is constantly seeking answers about the nature of the world in which we live. That’s why he became Guild’s Master Academic.

From an early age, he was fixated with artifacts of the ancients. He studied every material he could find. He was the most talented student of Ursulina Tragar, who believed that Victor may be the first one to figure out all of the Ancient’s secrets. He was a very smart person indeed, but his obsession led him to dangerous experiments. His strive to find out the truth made him the most eminent scholar in the Guild but also marked him with diseases that entail too long exposure to the ancient essence. The essence damaged his skin, hair, eyes… It is slowly killing him, but the irony is, that he feels alive only when exposed to it.

The growing pressure to discover the truth, the essence, solitary life… Victor became a little insane. He is a person who is very hard to cope with. His strange ways and coldness towards people are what make him the most disliked person in the entire Guild. The only friend he has is his old teacher, Ursulina. The rest tries to avoid him at all costs.

GATHERING RESOURCES

Hello Gatewalkers!

Today, we'll briefly introduce you to another aspect of the game - gathering resources.

In Gatewalkers we diversify the collection of raw materials with an additional aspect, which is an uncommon and rare collection.

Breakdown of raw materials:
common - raw materials commonly available. Additionally, these resources can be tier and can be processed in crafting stations. Usually, common tier resources are processed into a processed version and only then we craft the target items from them (the exception is tier 1). This is the basis for most crafting recipes.

Examples: Fiber, Wood, Ore, Hide

uncommon - resources that drop from nodes of common resources, but usually only have some chance of falling while mining. The chance of dropping depends on the level of the tool you use. These are the resources that will be rather used for T3 + weapons (other recipes also, e.g. rings, will require silver or gold)

Examples: sulfur, silicon, silver, gold, resin, seeds.

rare - resources that have their own name and do not have tiers. They have their representation in the world and are hard to find.

Examples: starstone, moonlight flower.

At the time of extracting resources, it is checked with what tools we have extracted. Example of operation: We extract IronOre using PickAxe. Over time, the tools wear out and new ones have to be made.

Remember that every world has different resources, so during your quests take a few minutes to gather them! And also keep in mind to have some extra wood to create new tools.

Best,

MEET THE CHARACTERS #3 - BERNARD TRETH

Hello Brave Gatewalkers!

Today we share with you more info about another character you met during the Demo - Bernard Treth!

Bernard is the best blacksmith in the Guild. He is known for his hard work, reliability, and humbleness.

He is a strict man with rules. Self-discipline is what made him a great blacksmith. His parents probably contributed to this, as they treated him in a harsh way. Because of them he became thick-skinned and focused on getting the best in his craft. However, he also became a silent man, unable to build solid relationships with others. When his parents found out about his adoration for the male body, they reacted badly. Unjustly ashamed of his own feelings, Bernard became a curt man.

He was taught work ethics by a professional hunter, called Dupont. His teacher had a daughter, Loulou who became a hunter too, and a master in leathercraft. They knew each other since they were kids, but apart from mutual respect and sporadic cooperative work, they were not connected by greater friendship. But there are some who managed to build a warmer relationship with Bernard - Arvin Gabnis, Markus Henrid, and Fritz Wagner. Bernard generally doesn’t have an open conflict with anyone, but he dislikes Viktor Hemming and Taiho Everdine - the first for craziness, the second one for aggression.
