Dummy Dungeon News

There will be a lot of new things. Many changes such as Bug Fixes or Optimization are not written out in this Roadmap because they are done on an ongoing basis from version to version. Currently I am able to share the news up to version 0.3.x but rest assured! This post does not contain big spoilers.


These are features that are not planned for a specific version of the game, it is possible that the update will only have a newly added game feature as soon as it is ready.

• Steam Cloud - that is, saving in the cloud
  
• Full controller support - All needed options such as button mapping
  
• Translation of the game into other languages
  
• Improved readability - more pop-ups with descriptions of what each thing does, and changes to the attack animations of enemies, currently some attacks visually do not fully reflect the actual hitbox
  

The current version will also receive new things. In this version as well as the next version, I'm keen on increasing the pool of rooms that can be generated. The more rooms in the pool, the more interesting and unique dungeons.

This version nevertheless is mainly patches, stabilizing the game and changes in the balance of weapon, character and enhancement stats.


Warm-up Update. In a nutshell it adds some enemies, perks, weapons and rooms each.

• Perks - Currently the pool of legendary perks is too small so in this update half of the new perks are legendary. New epic perks will create a chance for very interesting plays with gold. Rare perks will open up new play styles that are currently too weak.
  
  
  
• Opponents - Along with the new rooms, there will be new challenges. All new opponents will have a unique set of attacks and will strengthen the character of each floor.
  
  
• Weapons - New sets of weapons to unlock in the game will be added. Currently there are few sets to unlock, there will be more. Most of the weapons in the sets also have new modifications
  

This update will be thematic. In it, we will add a new character, a new type of weapon
and a new alternative floor.

• New character - Focus will be on developing punch combos, his skill will change depending on the state of the combo.
  
  
• New type of weapon - High damage, long range, slow weapon, heavy attack and the occasional attack, has a good range of action but will have to be charged first with combo.
  
  
• New alternative floor - During the run you will have to choose between this new floor and the "Sinking Ship". There will be a lot of fighting on this floor and, just like in the Sinking Ship, you will be able to win powerful rewards or lose the approach very easily.

[h2]Introduction[/h2]
Throughout September, every day I created and showed (on Twitter) a new weapon based on a previously prepared keyword. Here I would like to show some of the cool effects I created during this time!

[h2]This sword belongs to...[/h2]
The words this year represented the owner of the weapon. I won't hide the fact that I had a lot of trouble with names that are already in the game e.g. The Witch is in the game and has a weapon so coming up with another weapon with a similar effect for her was quite a challenge. In the end, thanks to this challenge, the pool of interesting items in the game has increased significantly, making each approach even more interesting!



[h2]In-game action[/h2]
Here are what weapons were created during this time:

• 5 daggers
  
• 9 heavy swords
  
• 1 spear
  
• 11 swords
  
• 4 katanas
  
• 1 axe
  

[h3]Day 5: Spymaster[/h3]
An axe that causes invisibility if the player starts charging a strong attack. A weapon ideal for dealing massive damage in one hit and very good for stealing items from the store.

[h3]Day 11: Queen[/h3]
The second weapon that is not a sword, the Queen's spear. It generates gold every 5 strikes. A very powerful effect that will definitely not collapse the economy in the game!

[h3]Day 18: Bard[/h3]
A heavy sword with a very simple effect, the last attack in the combination of blows is enhanced.

[h3]Day 21: Mermaid[/h3]
A katana that has powerful pushback, but only if the player is in the middle of a bunnyhop.
This weapon has powerful damage only on opponents without repulsion reduction.

[h2]Summary[/h2]
Of course, there are many more weapons that I could show here, but I prefer to leave it for you to discover because the Early Access of the game is approaching fast. I still plan to publish some Steam devlogs before the release and if you want to follow the progress of the production in real time, feel free to twitter!
