Fate of Fire: Kyvedy Guardiah News

[h3]This is the biggest update so far with a total rework of combat and levels.[/h3]
[h3]And the biggest news is the introduction of a new mechanic: The Kyvedy Flame![/h3]



Now killing enemies increases the Kyvedy Flame, when the flame is full lit you will always be revived on death.

But The Kyvedy Flame is not just an extra ress, pressing "F" you can unleash the fire on your enemies making it good for both a tactical defensive style or a more aggressive approach.

New Indicators for attack, stealth and counter attack have been added at the bottom right near the Prism, making it easier for you to understand when your abilities are available and ready to use.

All the levels have been reworked for the new mechanic in all game modes and difficulties.

Go try it yourself as the Guardiah Flame is now unleashed ! ^^



Good run!

This time combat is under the spotlight.
Thanks to a nice feedback I realized that the combat levels were too hard.
So I decided to address combat and after tinkering I found a new balance and I am satisfied with the result.
Now You die less.. a lot less and the overall combat feels more fluid.
This patch affects only the levels where you can actually die, the rest of the gameplay stays unchanged.
So this is the first patch of the "Argos Blade" and I will publish minor adjustments the next weeks to fit with the new combat.

Thanks and Good run!

A little update with some polishing, some art changes and One more level ? Two more books ?

Yes !

There was one level in the Tower that I let out at release. Now finally the time has come to visit "The World Compass" in the sixth floor of Guardiah.

There you will be challenged by Momo's eknosmachines that take care of The World Compass stopping any intruder.

New mechanic !
It time to shine for Roy and Eria and in The World Compass when one of the two heroes is bind by the Eknosmachines you will switch to the other and have a chance to free it. If both are "caught" is game over.

Lore !
Two new books have been added to the library and you will find them in the new level. They talk about The World Compass itself and the past of humanity in the old world ! Why they had to escape ? Find out there !

This update gives me the chance to add images to the books, so that in a near future I could add more in each one.

And this is pretty much all about the update !

Thanks and good run!

The Boon rewire update was meant to address a problem with flatpack in Linux that was "incompatible" with the game appimage. So, while that is fixed I decided to publish the new game modes as well !

Now from the options menu you can select from "classic" and "runner" mode.

The classic, or normal mode, is now the new default for the game and the "runner" mode is for those that want to push themself to the limits.. of speed!

The classic mode plays as you expect from an rpg: explore, understand what to do, fight, progress in the story.

The runner mode instead adds a time limit for any map, the timer is always shown onscreen, so you can check out how you are faring, and in some levels the mechanics are different to give satisfaction to your speed bursts!

In addition The Welcoming Hall and The Merchant's Lobby have been reworked adding a new mechanic !

And that's all for the Boon rewire Update!

Good run!

Achievements are here along with full support for Xbox compatible controllers.

Achievements
You will find "An old diary" in the prism with all your achievements and if you are online they will unlock on steam too! There are 23 achievements as now, but I plan to add more in the future. The majority will be unlocked during your playthrough but some are challenges that you must discover.


Gamepads
But the more juicy news is the xbox controller support that changes the gameplay making your run more smooth while using the controller. I am surprised as well as some levels are really easier when played with a controller. The analog stick does wonders in melee and Argos is very happy !


And that's all for the "Boon tinkering" update !

Thanks and good run!
