Hello!

Welcome to the third episode in the Ketz: Galactic Overlords Developer Log.

In this edition, we will share upcoming game systems, characters, and mechanics with you, providing more insight into the development process. We also aim to shape the game’s progression together with feedback from the community.

Today, we will introduce Kael, the master tracker and archer shaped by the wilds of Arden. Let’s dive into her story and combat mechanics.



[h3]Meet Kael – Master Hunter of Arden[/h3]
Kael hails from Arden, an untamed world filled with dense forests and fierce wildlife. Trained from childhood to survive and hunt in the most unforgiving terrain, she became a legendary tracker, moving with unmatched stealth and striking with deadly accuracy.

But Kael’s peaceful world changed when unnatural creatures began creeping into the edges of Arden’s woodlands. Her instincts warned her that something far greater was unfolding. As she tracked these intruders, she uncovered a grim truth—Ketzeror’s corruption had reached her homeworld.

With Arden’s future hanging in the balance, Kael set off alone, determined to trace the threat back to its source. Her journey eventually led her to The Sanctuary, where she encountered Rax. Impressed by her skills and unwavering resolve, Rax welcomed her as a part of The Sanctuary.


[h3]Kael’s Combat Style[/h3]

Kael wields a high-powered bow, relying on agility and precision to strike from afar. Her combat is defined by two core mechanics:

• Piercing Arrows: Kael’s arrows pierce through enemies, continuing past the initial target and damaging others in their path.
  
• Focused Volley: Every third attack, Kael fires two attack instead of one.
  

[h3]How Will You Harness Kael’s Hunter’s Instinct?[/h3]

Kael will be playable in Early Access.

• What do you think of her double-shot mechanic?
  
• Which ability combos do you think would best amplify her power?

Hello!

Welcome to the second episode of the Ketz: Galactic Overlords developer log.

In this edition, we will share upcoming game systems, characters, and mechanics with you, providing more insight into the development process. We also aim to shape the game’s progression together with feedback from you all.
Today, we will introduce Dr. Rennor, the cyborg warrior who merges science and technology. Let's dive into his story and mechanics.


[h3]Who is Dr. Rennor?[/h3]
Dr. Rennor was an esteemed scientist and astronaut from Earth. Specializing in astrobiology and advanced robotics, he embarked on numerous missions to explore the depths of space, searching for signs of life and developing new technologies.

However, his fate took a drastic turn during an expedition to the planet Nyxaloria. While on his mission, his spacecraft was caught in a violent meteor storm, sustaining severe damage. All communication with Earth was lost, and the ship’s systems completely failed. Stranded in deep space, Dr. Rennor managed to survive for months on limited oxygen supplies before ultimately succumbing to the void of space.

[h3]Rebirth: Cyborg Dr. Rennor[/h3]
During one of their exploration missions, Rax and his team discovered the wreckage of Dr. Rennor’s spacecraft. Upon realizing that the body belonged to a scientist from Earth, they speculated that he might hold crucial information about Ketzeror’s plans.

With the help of Zenith Techlock’s advanced technology and the energy of Aether Streams, Dr. Rennor was revived as a cyborg. His new form granted him superhuman abilities, enhanced senses, and seamless integration with technological systems.

Initially, he struggled to accept his transformation. However, upon learning that Ketzeror’s army included creatures abducted from Earth, he resolved to fight back. Combining his scientific knowledge with his newly acquired strength, Dr. Rennor became a key player in the battle against Ketzeror’s forces.

[h3]Dr. Rennor’s Combat Abilities[/h3]

As a cyborg, Dr. Rennor was no longer just a scientist—he became a warrior. With the help of Zenith Techlock’s engineering, he now wields advanced arm attachments capable of launching powerful energy spheres at enemies.

Dr. Rennor's Basic Attack
His projectiles explode upon impact, creating a secondary energy orb that rises into the air before crashing down in a random location, dealing area damage.

His long-range combat style requires strategic positioning for maximum effectiveness.


[h3]Are You Ready to Build the Ultimate Cyborg Warrior?[/h3]

Dr. Rennor will be available in Early Access.

• What do you think about his basic attacks?
  
• What kinds of devastating builds do you think you can cook up with Dr. Rennor?
