"Lost Castle 2" Development Log #3: Ethereal Treasure

In our last update, we provided an overview of some new features in "Lost Castle 2." This time, we'll specifically delve into the "Ethereal Treasure" system. This is one of the newly added in-game progression systems in the sequel. As treasure hunters embark on their adventures, they'll receive various types of rewards, including Ethereal Treasures. These treasures come with different passive effects. Additionally, hunters also have a chance to obtain rune stones of different colors. When these rune stones are combined with Ethereal Treasures, they enhance the abilities of the treasure hunters from various dimensions. This, in turn, affects players' decisions regarding weapon and equipment choices, as well as other strategic decisions.

The Ethereals are a mysterious race with the ability to freely traverse through time and space. Among them, three Ethereal factions roam various timelines, collecting a variety of treasures. They inscribe the runes of their factions on the treasures they collect, imbuing them with powerful magical energies. It is these runic imprints that make Ethereal Treasures so enticing to treasure hunters.

In the game, there will be three types of Ethereal Runes:

1. Akhil Rune (Red): The Akhil Runes provide treasure hunters with additional attack power. As the number of Rune Stones increases, special attack effects are triggered.

2. Parati Rune (Green): The Parati Runes grant treasure hunters extra vitality. When the quantity of Rune Stones reaches a certain threshold, a special effect called "Rune Quake" is activated.

3. Nairu Rune (Blue): The Nairu Runes enable hunters to recover mana faster during battles. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, it activates the "Rune Burst" state, continuously launching runic projectiles at nearby enemies.In the game, there will be three types of Ethereal Runes:

During adventures, treasure hunters acquire a variety of ethereal treasures, each adorned with runes of different colors. These runes bestow additional enhancements to the treasure hunter's abilities. Apart from elevating the attributes of the treasure hunter and triggering unique runic effects, the accumulation of runic power serves as the key to unlocking latent effects within ethereal treasures.

Alright, this concludes the introduction for this issue. Next time, we will present a new gameplay feature in 'Lost Castle 2'—the throwing mechanism.

At last，wish everyone Happy New Year！
