Glyphica : Update 5 Brings new weapon, boss, consumable loot and more!
Hello Survival Typists!
We’re back with our regular updates, creating more content for you to enjoy, as well as some cosmetic experiments. Let’s get right to it!
[h3]New Weapon : Guardian[/h3]
The Guardian is a self propelled persistent Drone that guards the main turret with melee orbiting heat attacks. While it is a very powerful automated weapon, you need to keep picking up fuel to keep it going!
[h3]New Boss : Jormungandr[/h3]
Last update we drew from Greek mythology, this time we take a nod to Norse mythology. Jörmungandr was a mythological creature who supposedly encircled the world, biting its own tail. One of the signals that the end of the world is coming is when the serpent finally lets go of its tail to wreak havoc on the world. Our version of the serpent circles your main weapon menacingly while releasing single letter projectiles for you to shoot down.
[h3]Consumable Loot[/h3]
We’ve added a new consumables system to the game to allow you to store items in an inventory and then use them at will by typing the corresponding word. For example, the “Warhead” consumable triggers a massive string of explosions to take out enemies close to the main weapon. Right now all consumables are obtained via the Loot system, but we’re working to expand this and create more consumables in future updates.
[h3]Cosmetic Updates[/h3]
We’re slowly rolling out cosmetic updates like letting you change the music and color scheme to the game. This is more complex than we thought it would be, and we need more time to implement it fully. However, we did want to give you all a sneak peek of how it would work. In the audio settings, you can now choose between Glyphica’s current music set and the original music it launched with back in the 2024 Next Fest.
In addition, we’ve added a couple of new color themes aside from our light and dark themes. We will slowly open this up so more players can take advantage of this and make their own color themes, but if you have any theme requests let us know!
[h3]Combo Weapon Evolutions[/h3]
We’ve added more weapon Evolutions to the Minefield to increase the variations of gameplay. But on top of that, we’re excited to add weapon evolutions that only happen if you are using two specific weapons. The Dirty Bomb evolution makes your mines shoot puddles of goo when they explode, but you can only use this evolution if you are using Splattershot as well. We want future combos like this to be a cool surprise for players, but we’re leaking this one for you all to enjoy.
[h3]Omen Update[/h3]
There were players who didn't want the weapons kept from growing due to the Omen II penalty. We've updated the omen system and replaced the penalty with a new 9-letter wordlist.
[h3]Localized Achievements[/h3]
Achievements are now localized so you can all challenge yourselves to be better typists!
[h3]Outro[/h3]
That’s it for this update folks! We hope you enjoy this update, and we will be back again in 2 months to give you some fresh new content and features!
