Developer Diary #26
Brave Ones!
We're pleased to present a new installment of the "Developer Diary"!
For everyone eager to learn about the upcoming changes and innovations in the world of Singoru, we're ready to lift the veil of mystery. In this new issue, we'll discuss marketplace changes, a new marathon event, and new functionality!
[h2]Major Economic Changes[/h2]
We're delighted to present important changes that will make your gaming adventure even more exciting and rewarding. We always strive to ensure every game element is enjoyable and truly valuable to you. That's why we've reworked the prism shard system and prepared something special!
[h3]Prism Shards Convert to Star Coins![/h3]
After carefully analyzing your feedback, we've noted the impressive efficiency some players demonstrated in collecting prism shards. Unfortunately, the number of shards obtained significantly exceeded our expectations, creating some imbalance in the game economy.
We also noticed the current shard system was quite limited and didn't provide sufficient gameplay diversity. We want to offer you broader prospects and more varied uses for in-game currency.
Considering your comments that while obtaining resources for hero and weapon summoning is great, gameplay shouldn't be limited to just that, we've decided to implement major changes. We're phasing out prism shards and introducing a new currency - Star Coins.
In their place, we're introducing a more flexible system where Star Coins can be used to purchase a wide range of in-game items and opportunities. This will make gameplay more diverse and engaging, giving you more choices and progression options.
Coming soon:
All your existing prism shards will be automatically converted to the new currency - Star Coins at a 1:1 ratio.
[h3]Temporary Changes to Star Coin Acquisition[/h3]
To ensure a smooth transition to the new system, we need to adjust market balance and drop rates for the new currency. Therefore, we're temporarily discontinuing prism shard rewards from hardcore mode.
But we've made sure you won't lose your favorite resource! Now you can earn Star Coins in the daily marathon - just log in every day to claim generous rewards!
[h3]Gift Marathon[/h3]
The "Gift Marathon" begins with the first monthly marathon lasting 28 days, after which it will transition to a cyclical format.
The marathon offers 28 days of continuous rewards. No quests needed - just log in daily to claim your bonuses.
After the initial phase, the marathon will cycle with changed rewards, while maintaining the same claiming system. This lets you plan your time and always know when to expect new gifts.
Our well-designed reward system makes the marathon accessible to everyone. No complex conditions or special requirements - just play and claim your bonuses. For those wanting more, we've prepared a premium marathon track with additional rewards.
[h2]Evolution Skill Changes[/h2]
We've carefully reviewed all your feedback and suggestions. Thanks to your active participation and valuable comments, we've revamped several skills - and this is just the beginning!
[h3]Boulder → Earth Barrage[/h3]
(Stone Shrapnel Evolution)
Boulder has transformed into mighty Earth Barrage. This isn't just an upgrade - instead of a single hit, you now get a devastating volley of stone projectiles. Each shot becomes a hail of fragments, obliterating everything in its path.
[h3]Supernova → Explosive Shards[/h3]
(Ice Shards Evolution)
Supernova has become destructive Explosive Shards. This new ability takes the best from frost shards, but now each icy projectile explodes, engulfing enemies in cold and slowing their movements. Enemies don't just take damage - they're trapped in frost!
[h3]Queen's Song[/h3]
(Chakram Evolution)
Queen's Song has been reborn. The spell now hits enemies with multiple projectiles, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The reworked visual effect turns the ability into a true performance, with each projectile dancing through the air before finding its target.
[h2]New Aiming Mode[/h2]
The game now features flexible aiming settings.
Auto-Aim - The classic mode where the game automatically helps target enemies. Perfect for dynamic combat and beginners.
Cursor Aiming - An advanced mode offering full control over shots. You can now precisely aim using the cursor, especially valuable for experienced players.
We've added a convenient toggle so you can choose your preferred aiming style. On PC, you have two options:
In the upcoming mobile version, aiming mode can only be changed through settings.
This new feature currently affects only certain skills:
The choice is yours! Customize aiming to match your playstyle. Remember: in cursor mode, accuracy depends entirely on your skill and experience.
Experiment with both modes to find what works best for you. You can change settings anytime during gameplay, so nothing stops you from enjoying convenient auto-aim until truly challenging moments when you might want to take full control!
