Update 2: The camp under the Tower

[p]Hello! How time flies! Almost two months have passed since the launch of The Shadowed Rune, and your enthusiasm and support have truly reached my heart, thank you![/p][p][/p][p]To show my appreciation, I’ve prepared a huge update packed with lots of new content and brand-new systems designed to complete the camp experience.[/p][p]Until now, you would reach the Scorching Prison, defeat the final boss, and have very few options: unlocking Veld or the three members of the Triskelion Guard. But that has changed. Starting with Update 2, you’ll be able to free several additional camp members, allowing you to unlock different systems in the camp:[/p][p][/p][p]Albert’s Shop[/p][p]If you choose to free Albert, you’ll be able to invest in his shop and buy different cosmetic appearances for the characters and even… buy a wardrobe for your corner of the camp![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Mint’s Workshop[/p][p]By freeing Mint from the prison, you’ll be able to invest in her workshop and unlock Neku’s workbench. There, you’ll be able to buy different cosmetic appearances for your cat, each one more fun than the last.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Caye’s Orchard[/p][p]If you decide to free Caye, you’ll be able to restore the orchard and unlock a powerful tool to alter your characters’ starting attributes. You’ll be able to modify their diet so they become faster, cast spells more quickly, or regenerate mana faster. However, each crop improves one attribute while worsening the other two. Will you be able to find the perfect diet for your characters based on your playstyle?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Law System[/p][p]Now, after completing the game for the first time, you’ll be able to unlock the Law System, which allows you to activate several handicaps in exchange for better rewards when defeating the guardians at the end of each floor.[/p][p]Additionally, if you manage to complete the game with 3 laws activated, you’ll be able to face a new final boss that will put your endurance and skill to the test. Will you be able to defeat it?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Dungeon Master Mode (2–3 player mode)[/p][p]On the other hand, Dungeon Master Mode can now be used in your custom dungeons or those downloaded from Steam Workshop.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p][/p][p]All you need is one or two additional controllers to enjoy a unique experience both locally and online (via Steam Remote Play Together): the Dungeon Master will use the mouse to pull the strings from the shadows and set challenges for their “victims,” manipulating the dungeon at will while the players enjoy (or suffer) their adventure without knowing what their host has prepared for them.[/p][p][/p][p]And much more…[/p][p]More than twenty new rooms have been added, and the experience in the early levels of the Tower has been rebalanced.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]A new character selection screen with expanded information about each character’s unique traits, now it really matters which character you play![/p][p]You can now rescue Fox from the prison, which will unlock an event in the Tower that will give you many clues about how to solve the curse (pay attention, as it will only appear once!). This is the first of many events to come with the rest of the characters and NPCs.[/p][p]You can read the rest of the patch notes at the following link.[/p][p] [/p][p]What’s coming next?[/p][p]After this update, I’ll continue working on new content for the Tower, following the roadmap and focusing on creating new levels for the Scorching Prison, as well as new enemies, traps, spells, items, and NPCs. This way, the journey toward version 1.0 will become an increasingly complete and varied experience.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]As a final note for this update, I’d like to mention that I’m working on a series of rewards that will only be obtainable by purchasing the game during Early Access. This will be exclusive content reserved for those who have trusted The Shadowed Rune from the beginning. Once the game is released in its 1.0 version (Release), this content will only be claimable by those who purchased the game earlier.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For example, the Imperial appearances for all three playable characters are already available to those who purchase the game during the months of Early Access. But there will be new rewards that I’ll be revealing in upcoming updates. See you soon![/p]
