Fatal Claw - Dev Notes #05

[p][/p][p]Hello, everyone![/p][p]In our last developer interview, we mentioned that we added distinct landmarks so that players can easily remember them.[/p][p]For today’s Dev Notes, we’d like to introduce some of those hidden landmarks scattered across the world of Fatal Claw.[/p][p][/p][p]Each landmark was created with its own story, so that when you stumble across one in-game, you’ll instinctively think, "Ah, I’m in that area now!"[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]\[Stories Within the Landmarks][/h2][p][/p][p]The underground world of Fatal Claw isn’t just a backdrop.[/p][p]Every region carries the weight of time and story in the form of landmarks.[/p][p][/p][p]These places, where you may stop to gaze, whisper ancient breaths and lingering mysteries.[/p][p]We’ve compiled records of some key landmarks you’ll discover. Let’s explore them together![/p][p][/p][h2]#Kannir Drilling Site[/h2][p][/p][h3]Origin Screen [/h3][h3][/h3][p]Scattered across the underworld, these giant screens exist to broadcast something. [/p][p]You’ll often see flickering ads or broken messages, but age has reduced them to fractured signals. [/p][p]On the other hand, their very incompleteness sparks more imagination and stories. [/p][p][/p][h3]Automata Workshop[/h3][p][/p][p]From afar, you can spot automata tirelessly working to extract Kannir. [/p][p]Nearby, cylinders filled with Kannir fluid are stacked high, leaving no doubt: this is a true extraction site in full operation. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]#Ashen Valley[/h2][p][/p][h3]Nagaraja’s Corpse[/h3][p]The colossal skull of a mythical beast lies here, enduring centuries of erosion.[/p][p]Those who approach the entrance are struck by an uneasy fear, unable to take a step forward.[/p][p]Yet this fear is precisely what provokes a burning urge to challenge it, serving as the intersection of dread and curiosity.[/p][p][/p][h3]The Well[/h3][p]Chains hang at its mouth, and strange fluid has seeped deep into its stones, radiating an ominous aura. [/p][p]Though small and unassuming, the moment you face it, you can’t help but pause and think: “Ah… right, there was a well here.” [/p][p]A minor landmark, but one that fixes itself as a waypoint of memory along the path. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]#Strigine Quarry[/h2][p][/p][h3]Hydrangea Field[/h3][p][/p][p]At the edge of a wind-lashed cliff lies a blooming field of hydrangeas.[/p][p]A flower field in the desolate underground world feels out of place, a strange beauty that doesn’t belong.[/p][p]And at its center, crouched low, lurks a bug-like silhouette... but what could it be?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]#Elord Castle[/h2][p][/p][h3]Arcadia[/h3][p][/p][p]Deep inside the castle stands a mysterious high-tech device. [/p][p]Its mechanical structure and refined engineering prove that this world is far from ordinary. [/p][p]Nearby, remains of Owls suggest this device was never just ornamental—it had purpose. [/p][p][/p][h3]A Statue[/h3][p]Ensnared by infected plants, this statue looks like a forgotten memory left to decay. [/p][p]Step closer, and a strangely familiar face emerges, leaving behind an uncanny sense of déjà vu. [/p][p]Who does this statue resemble? And what hidden story does it hold? [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]#Higasha Tundra[/h2][p][/p][h3]Shrine Entrance[/h3][p]Beyond the bamboo groves, on a snow-covered land, stands a silent shrine.[/p][p]Its entrance is carved with strange patterns, but it's unclear which deity it honors.[/p][p]But that very mystery ignites the imagination, stirring anticipation of the new adventures waiting ahead.[/p][p][/p][h3]Bamboo Grove[/h3][p][/p][p]Once you start seeing bamboo stalks appear, you know you’ve reached the grove. [/p][p]While bamboo may not seem like a grand landmark, here it becomes a natural guidepost. [/p][p]Spot the grove nearby? Follow its flow, and you won’t lose your way. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]💠Wrapping Up[/h2][p][/p][p]The landmarks we introduced today serve as witnesses of this world’s past. [/p][p]They act as memorable signposts for players, as well as stages for the unfolding narrative. [/p][p][/p][p]To bring you those moments of discovery, we continue to design, refine, and build with great care.[/p][p]When you finally encounter them during your own journey, we hope you’ll feel that instant moment of recognition.[/p][p]Look forward to seeing them in action during your adventures. 🙂[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for reading!
