Titans of the Past News

Hey,

Alex 13 here. We've updated the Demo build. Most changes are thanks to YOUR feedback!

The game was received well - not a super hit but something that genre players enjoy. That was exactly our goal. We're satisfied. Thank you for all the feedback and support! You rock. Yes, yes, you!

Important note: items that were already broken in your save will remain broken, new ones with the fixed affixes will work properly. No need to clear saves!

Hello,

Alex 13 here.

We've released the Demo, you can play it now.

Two weeks ago we've started a closed test with content creators, and this was a good experience. Based on their feedback, we were able to fix a lot of bugs, polish the UX, improve the UI, and make the balance much more engaging and playable.

Thank you people who helped to shape the Demo! A shoutout to the following content creators:

• Falagar
• Games Video UA
• Magic Game World
• Dark Skye Gaming
• Ecko_Ray
• Wizard Worm
• AllGamesWorldHd
• Milenio Oscuro Games

If I post a full changelog, it will look like a small novel, so I won't.
So here's the TLDR one:

• Replaced the whole HUD artwork;
  
• Made the balance more enjoyable - please note that the game is intendedly hard;
  
• Added ambient sounds;
  
• Added UI sounds;
  
• Added gameplay sounds;
  
• Added Ukrainian localization (we're from Ukraine);
  
• Increased player resource income;
  
• Buffed Assassin and Berserker classes;
  
• Improved lighting on all Demo maps;
  
• Nerfed the traps damage;
  
• Removed Cleave ability from enemies for now, that was too much;
  
• Added resource pickables to all Demo maps;
  
• Tweaked the speedrun timers and rewards.
  

Play the Demo, leave your feedback, check out our pets, 'enjoy' the rats.

Thank you,
Alex 13, the DDG team, and our animal companions.

P.S. I thank the team - making games is hard, being an Ukrainian is hard (I'm proud we are), mixing this is an elite difficulty mode. I'm honored to work with you guys, you're outstanding, all of you.

Hey,

Alex 13 here.

The Demo will be live on May 16th, possibly a few days earlier.

We have two blocks of work to finalize before we submit the build - UI and Class Abilities for the Classes available in the Demo. Here are a few screenshots of the new UI:

... May. The Demo for Titans of the Past is coming this May. Stay tuned - we'll announce the exact date in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, we've finalized a few important things. The most important of which is that Town is now completely done - all art and mechanics are in. And oh boy there are lots of mechanics:
- Town Halls improve your gold income from adventuring
- Goblin Scout helps you find the exact loot you need
- Guild allow Mastery training and acquiring hew skills, abilities, and spells
- There are stores to trade
- The Enchanter crafts you BIS gear - if you've resources to pay for it
- There are rewards for each level of Adventure you complete - check the Tavern. And it's for each character individually!
- Buildings unlock character Races and Classes - so the more you progress the more options you have. And some combinations are straight more powerful. Lookin' at you, High Elf Necromancer
- There's a Fountain that allows you to respec

I even probably forgot something - there are lots of things going in your Town.

There are lots of things to put into the changelog, but I won't do it this time. Here's the screenshot of a Town instead.
