Terrordrome - Reign of the Legends News

Greetings everyone and a happy warm welcome from the Terrordrome team.
we have been working hard the past few months continuing the develop Reign of the Legends as much as we can and we'd like to apologies for not creating a update for March.
The reason why we decided this was that we simply didn't have enough developed content enough to warrant a new update and as some are aware, some of us are still working full time jobs and it takes us away from developing the game quicker but now we have content to share with you today!

Wendigo has a brand new move!



This move is the turnpike!
when making the Wendigo we added a move called ice spike where the creature summons a giant spike of ice out of the ground which lifts the opponent off the ground.
when trying it out we found along with our testers that the ice spike felt a little 1 dimensional and unfun when labbing and we knew we could do better and create something more fun.
This new move has Wendigo summon a bony turnpike from the ground, the amalgamation structure of bones will rotate for a period of time creating a long lasting hit box that can hit your foe until it despawns.
since the move had been given to our tester/Patreon build of the game we have already seen our testers preform unique and creative combos with the move including summoning the pike behind the opponent and launching them into it creating a new juggle combo as if they were like playing a game of tennis.

Development of arcade intros and outros



As stated in the previous update we were working on intros and outros for the Arcade mode for every character in the game and now we have images to share with you!
We have for now censored the text for spoilers but this is what to expect in terms of artstyle that will be in all arcade branches going forward, So far we have completed both the intro and outro for Alex Van Helsing and the intro for Neverman.
We'd like to remind everyone that this is not the actual story mode or canon to the games story but what if scenarios that may have potentially happened in an alternate reality within the Terrordrome Reign of the Legends universe.

Online lobby fixes and adjustments



We have overhauled our lobby system.
Now when joining a lobby you can now choose to select if you want to be player 1 or player 2 as well as now being able to view friends matches if you are within the same lobby, at this time there's only 2 spectators maximum but we plan on adding more.
This new lobby also now comes with a chat box for those who want to discuss thing before and after the match.
Please keep in mind that this lobby is subject to change as we continue to develop it further.

That's all for today, thank you always for sticking through our journey and thank you for reading
- The Terrordrome Team.

Here’s the vlog you guys have been anticipating.
Today our lead designer Huracan will be going over stage polishing, Invisible Man and the future release plans for the game.

Early days of 2024 but we still strive and work on improving the game as much as we can with a newly polished stage, a new stage NPC and updates on what we develop next.

The Hidden Forest

Lots of new lighting made to this stage as well as more assets like trees rocks and other woodland architecture created by mother nature complimented with a slight mist in the background to provide a whimsical feel to the stage.

Introducing Jab the night guard



This is Jab, the night guard at the Erase Warehouse.
For those who find his name familiar this is Jab who is one of our biggest Patreon contributors as well as one of our finest members of the Terrordrome community and we decided to reward him as an in game cameo playing as the night guard working for Erase (one of Dracula's side companies).
In a future update you will find Jab in the background within the warehouse stage checking for any trespassers.

The Vlog

Lots of parts of development that are too important to explain through just the socials, this is why we're in the middle of creating another Video log of what we plan to do.
Please be sure to check out the vlog once it's public as it goes over major decisions we will be making to the all important release of the game.

2024 is here and we'd like to wish everyone a happy new year!
As last month was the holidays we have spent the later half of the month with friends and family for festive celebrations which means are work load had slowed during that time and this update will be shorter for this reason.

Character sound polishing
We've gotten far with the sound polishing phase with Mr Hyde, The Lady in White and Dracula now finished!
we have now reach 10 sound polished characters out of 12, Only polishing for Wendigo and Spring Heeled Jack is left and will likely will be completed before this month is over.

Stage polishing

Stages are one of the hardest and one of the most expensive parts of the games development which means each adjustment takes time and money away from the development of other things but we have finished yet another stage!

Underground

Now with a revamp!
The underground we felt was one of our most bland stages out there so we took extra steps to bring more movement to the stage whilst still keeping the dark gritty atmosphere the stage was meant to portray.
we have added some more pillars in the background, a hole where light and water rains down from the surface and a mysterious staircase leading to the unknown.

Hidden Forest

This is the next stage we have decided to touch up and is in development as we speak, we apologies as we can't show any images of the progress at this time but be sure to tune in next month to see the new version of the Hidden Forest.

That's all we can share this month as we continue development to the next month when we can share even more work and progress we made so far.

Have a happy new year - The Terrordrome Team.

Due to a lot of work we apologies for how late this update is as we were focusing on stage and sound work.
setting up for the winter we have been working harder before we take a break during the festive holidays.

Invisible Man

Invisible Man is on edge to being completed development wise.
Since the last update we have incorporated his voice lines and at this time working up the budget to commission his final sound effects which will complete the entire character.
All that would be left is testing and the creation of his trailer which will release the same day he becomes available to the public.
He his currently available to play for Tier 2 and above in our Patreon exclusive build, If you would like to try him whilst he is in development be sure to subscribe here:

Character sound polishing.

Character sounds are in the polishing phase and we are over halfway complete from finishing them.
So far characters from Frankenstein to T.H.I.S have been finished and some are already published for the public to play.

Stage polishing.

Stages are being refurbished with new visual appeal!
From lighting changes to complete asset overhauls, some of which we showed last update but here are the final result we'd like to share today!

Cemetery Crossroads

With Cemetery Crossroads we added more directional lighting from the lamps themselves, added light fog and made the cobbled ground more ragged and worn down level wise


Helsing Arcade

For Helsing Arcade we added LED lights to the arches on each side, a T-Rex statue centre piece now with a stand to hold it up.
This dino is special as it was a main character for a game we were unable to complete, maybe there's a possibility we can bring back this unannounced title in the future? who knows.
Finally on each side we have movie and event posters that take place in the Terrordrome universe and timeline, Looks like Dorian Grey used his Immortality to become a Hollywood Icon.


Dr Jekyll's Laboratory

This stage has had a complete overhaul with brand new assets added as well as some ratty rodents to help with the formula that he has spent a lifetime developing, seems to create some gigantisms with some subjects.


Realm of Reflection

Another stage with big changes, Mary's imagination and memory has grown more and has made additions to her world, most notably a train, skull bats and strange ghostly shells of people she knew before her death.

We hope you have a great festive holiday this December as we continue our polish and release of the final game in 2024.
