Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 - Dev Diary: The Professor
Greetings everyone, Carlos here, CEO at Blini Games! As you already know, in Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 we are introducing 6 playable characters, some of them you've met in the previous game, while others are brand new. Each of them will have unique abilities, exclusive items, and their own gameplay style totally different from the rest.
Today, we introduce another one of the main characters of Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2, with a bit of his history, and some details about their abilities.
I’VE SEEN THINGS YOU PEOPLE WOULDN´T BELIEVE
The Professor is the second classic characters that we have “rescued” from the first part, to continue his fight against the Great Old Ones.
The meta-scientist Dr. Clawston is a powerfully built, ruthless genius, whose lust for knowledge has not been cowed by the horrors he’s discovered. He carries a portable ‘Resonator’ device which disrupts its targets by affecting the dimensions of reality itself!
Dr. Clawstone once led the project ‘Tillinghast’, before a series of ‘accidents’ led to the destruction of his laboratory. Clawstone immediately realized the walls between dimensions had been weakened and embarked on a field trip to stabilize them.
This culminated in Clawstone using the bio-technology of an ancient alien race to re-capture a pan-dimensional apex predator before it escaped into our reality.
It’s possible it was the proximity to the Resonator which caused Clawstone’s memory to erode inexorably, until all he could recall was... the piping of flutes...
SKILLS AND GAMEPLAY DETAILS
The Professor is a very interesting ranged class. Perhaps not as mobile and fast as the Detective, but he comes with skills that make him more resilient to damage, and also, we have changed some of his original skills to improve his survivability.
For starters, his basic weapon is one of the strongest. Not only does it have higher potential DPS than the detective's, it can also shoot 20 rounds before having to reload.
The Professor can use an energy shield at the cost of energy, which will negate incoming damage. This shield can be improved with the use of items that you can craft or find, which will increase the amount of damage negated, thus becoming a potential ranged tank later in the game. Careful though, when the energy runs out, the shield will deactivate, and you will have to wait some time to recover it back.
His weapon has a secondary explosive shot that consumes energy and takes a second to shoot, in which time, the professor won´t be able to move. But the AOE damage makes it perfect against clusters of enemies packed closely together.
We have added a new skill to the Professor to show how he has improved his control over the energies of the other dimension. Now he can summon a pet-worm which will attack the enemies on screen. Summoning the pet takes a lot of energy, and it can be killed. It will also die after a period of time. It will be possible to increase the DPS of the pet, its duration and HP through the use of items, crafted or found.
The Professor can also operate complex machinery and solve certain puzzles and mini-events based on science that other characters won´t be able to understand.
Till next time, in case you haven't done so already, please don't forget to add the game to your Steam wishlist and stay up to date on all the upcoming news. We'll be seeing you soon with more exciting updates about our game.
