Welcome to the second Dev Diary for Superfuse! This time we’re breaking down the various enemies you’ll encounter in our game.




Common Enemies help fulfill the role of a power fantasy. While all combat should be a challenge, we want players to feel like a superhero by having moments where they can quickly decimate a group of enemies.



We designed common enemies in different classes, and named each class after the enemy's main behavior or function, like Swarmers and Rangers. This allowed us to create consistent bases for enemy designs. With these, we could define rules for what classes can appear together, and in which quantities, to make encounters that are balanced and dynamic.

Where it gets a bit more complicated is with higher ranking enemies, which should provide extra excitement and challenge for players. These enemies are also the prime source of higher-rarity loot.




The first higher ranking enemy are Elites. These are based on common enemies and come in three different types with increased stats compared to their common version.

First off, we have the “Super Elite”. These come with a telltale blue color, and have a single Elite Modifier, which is generally more stat driven, and they come in packs of two-to-four.

The second type is the “Rare Elite” (yellow). Unlike the blue elites, their packs comprise one Rare Elite and three-to-five minions. They also roll two modifiers, instead of one, and roll from a different pool than the Super Elites. To make them even more distinctive, we filled this pool of stats with more passive effects, like sparking and auras.



“Named Elites” (purple) are the final variation. In contrast to the other two Elite types, these are custom designed and have unique names. They appear at fixed locations in the story, and they can appear in the endgame too.






Our final, and highest ranking enemies, are Villains and Bosses.

Very early in the project, Villains leapt forward instantly from the superhero theme. These enemies are a natural counterpoint to Enforcers (our superheroes and player-characters). Villains give us ways to gate players, challenge them, and offer rewards for their defeat. With special abilities and powerful attacks, Villains offer unique and satisfying combat encounters.

Bosses fill a similar role, but are a little more traditional. Bosses fill a similar role, but are a little more traditional. We've made signature, large-scale fights with greater loot at the end and paired it with major story beats, bringing the Superfuse universe to life.






We hope you enjoyed this peek into the various enemies you’ll face in Superfuse. Come back soon for another Stitch Heads Dev Diary!

Mutated beyond recognition, the Foreman was once one of the highest-ranking workers on Eros. What now remains is a hulking monstrosity, triggered by an event that remains a mystery. All the Enforcers know is that he is dangerous, he knows something, and he needs to be taken down. The question is, are you strong enough to survive the encounter?



Join us on Discord to discuss Foreman and to count down to Early Access! Stay alert on the latest from Eros too by following us on Twitter.

Leading up to our Early Access release we, the Superfuse devs, wanted to highlight a few features we have in store.

Today we are going to be talking about our Endgame system, called the Solar Map, which we are releasing with Early Access. This is our solution for replayability, because it's an expandable system that lets us easily add new areas and new monsters.


The Solar Map will be unlocked at the end of the Early Access story. This allows you to continue your playthrough without interruption. The current Solar Map we've put in place is a lighter version which we hope to expand later down the line, but right now you'll already be able to take your spaceship to other asteroids and pick up Contracts.




Contracts come in various difficulties and forms, and can include killing Elites or a Boss. We are planning to add more variety, with objective-based contracts. To give players the chance to weigh risk vs reward, each Contract's fights can have stat modifiers applied to both you and your enemies. Depending on how you play, these modifiers could be positive or negative.

• Heightened chance for more loot and credits
  
• Lowered armor for the player
  
• Higher max health and attack speed for the enemies
  

Currently, Contracts work by scaling to the player level instead of being a fixed level. This is the form that we will release in Early Access, but we are eager to have your opinion on scaling vs. fixed level in our Discord!
Funny side note; one of our developers took the effort to have the Solar Map use the real numbers for the angles and relative rotation speed for all celestial bodies.
