Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders News

[h3]📣 Hello, Sherwood Builders! 🏹[/h3]

As the game's premiere continues to draw near, we return to share some more details about its various features. And today we focus on...



Adventuring across a land filled with opportunities for daring deeds and skilfull feats of combat is a staple of the open-world RPG. We wouldn't really have such games without these features, so they're all well and good, but a proper open world still needs even more variety than that. Their design in RPGs is enriched through various means, a popular choice among them are "games within the game." Sherwood Builders also features such solutions.

[h3]Puzzles[/h3]

Exploration ought to reward the curious, as long as they overcome the challenges that come with it. However, not every one of Sherwood's treasures lies under the watchful eye of an armed guard. Sometimes the enterprising outlaw will have to best special mechanisms to reach their bounties:

• Combination mechanisms
  
• Lights and mirrors
  
• Musical sequences
  
• Combination locks
  

Just some of the game's puzzles you'll need to solve if you really want that good loot...

[h3]Minigames[/h3]

Medieval times are hard enough, but life under the Sheriff's rule is as far from idyllic as it can get. So, the denizens of Sherwood have come up with some diversions to make their dreary existence just a little better. And no, there's more to it than ale. Plus, Robin can freely participate in these activities:

• Dice games
  
• Drinking contests
  
• Archery tournaments
  
• Some other activities that are somewhat secret and we don't want to spoil for you
  

Try your skill! It might just be a great way to supplement the resources at the Merry Men's disposal. Or to jeopardise them...

[h3]Gameplay Difficulty in Sherwood Builders[/h3]

Many games don't manage their difficulty design in a fair way, especially when it comes to combat. This is mostly done by having the difficulty setting modify the stats of characters and creating so-called damage sponges – enemies who force you into a slog of being battered for a long period of time until they're finally defeated. While at it, the fight doesn't offer much in the way of new combat gameplay and only either shorterns or lengthens the loop that's already in place.

We wanted a different approach, one that would address gameplay challenge through combat and, consequently, actually mean something to the player. And so, the three different difficulty levels of Sherwood Builders: Rogue, Outlaw, and Legend affect the way enemies behave alongside several other combat-related conditions:

• Damage caused by enemies
  
• Frequency of enemy attacks
  
• Number of enemies willing to attack at the same time
  
• Chances of various enemy responses, such as blocking and dodging
  
• The rate at which Robin gets fatigued by fighting
  
• The timing window for the player to parry attacks
  
• Item drop chances
  

With these solutions combined, we intend for the game difficulty to engage the player's skills, reward how much practice they've had with the game, and how great a challenge they wish to face as they complete the quests and follow the story.
