Devlog #69 - Big Ol' Book
Greetings Talented Gamers!
Ever wondered how you're supposed to know what the different coloured Elites actually do? Or what is inside a Talent Package? Well.. until now you didn't really have any way to!
The Talented Compendium
It's finally here, and within its pages contains all of the information you seek... You can access the Compendium from the Pause Menu any time you like!
Killing Enemies adds their entry into the Compendium, allowing you to see their Health, Speed and Behaviour whenever you want.
Of course, you can fill your Compendium with all of the Talents you've learnt. This can be particularly useful when deciding between Talent Packages.
Note: discovering a Talent Package adds all entries to the Compendium, even if you don't learn all of the Talents.
One of the questions I've answered endless times on Discord is what each of the Elite Types do! Now you can see for yourself (you'll have to kill one first of course!).
With the introduction of Rare, Epic and Legendary Curses (formerly known as Enemy Bonuses) for Endless Mode it only felt right to include the in the Compendium. As long as they appear in a run, they're your to keep - getting all of them might require a few Endless Runs though!
Each Class has their own pool of Portals, enter them all and fill this page!
Book Worm
For those completionists out there, one of our final Achievement additions will be a set of Achievements requiring you to fill the Compendium. While this might sound daunting at first, experienced players know that with a seriously good run you can learn most of the Talents the Class has!
So there it is, all of the information at your fingertips ready for the 1.0 release. Now you can be a true Talented know-it-all. As a few people have requested the Compendium will begin empty (even for long time players), we've enjoyed filling it back up and don't think it takes *that* long to do, so hopefully you'll feel the same!
Next time we'll be diving into some Class Overhauls coming next update - get your feedback ready and...
Stay Talented
