[Dev Note] New Skill tree menu, (Skin) Random box, Inventory management and more

Greetings from Orbis!

Early access is almost here!!!! I hope you’re all as excited as I am! It’s been a long road from when we first set pen to paper to start drawing concept art and character designs for Dysterra. I’m so happy to see all of you amazing(and magnificent!) people waiting on the edges of your seats for our launch into Early Access. Thank you for encouraging our team and helping us make Dysterra into what has become.

We’ve got a new set of upgrades for the skill tree, a random box(of skins!) you can earn, an inventory management system, and a new attack for the cyclops.

[h2]đź“’ Skill Tree Upgrade[/h2]
We’ve added a third tab to the skill menu: COMBAT

The new combat skill tree consists of two main tiers: “fast reload” and “specialization.” And each tier has a skill for improving only a specific gun-type: short-range guns, mid-range guns, long-range guns, and rocket launchers. I think “fast reload” is pretty self explanatory. “Specialization” reduces durability lost when firing a gun.



We’re hoping this will give players more choices on how they can choose to play the game. Beginners might spread their skill points between different gun types, while Dysterra veterans might prefer to throw all of their skill points into a single gun type.

The choice is yours!

[h2]đź“’ Random Box[/h2]
Some of you may remember that we added the “Terra Shop” to our game’s lobby. One of the things we’ve added to the shop is a random box. Each time you open a random box, you’ll unlock 3 new skins that you can use when crafting in-game. Note: You won’t receive any items when you open a random box, but you’ll be able to craft new items with the skins you unlock.



So how can you purchase these new skins? With Terra Points! We want to reward survivors who play frequently as well as ranked survivors, so there are two ways to get Terra Points (TP):
1. Log in daily.
2. Weekly TP rewards according to your global ranking.



[h2]đź“’ Easier Crafting With Remote Chest Access[/h2]
We realized a lot of players were struggling with inventory management. Running back and forth between your crafting bench and your storage chests can get tiring. And we wanted to make it at least a little easier.

We’ve modified the inventory UI so you can see what’s in nearby chests and drag and drop items from one chest directly into another. You can even open up a chest and craft directly from inside it!



[h2]đź“’ Cyclops Now Shoot Lasers![/h2]

The cyclops is definitely the most dangerous Orbis robot out in the wild. It initially had a slicing attack for close range, as well as a jumping attack for mid-range… Now we’ve added a laser attack to the cyclops to keep players on their toes no matter where they are.

Good luck staying alive out there!
