Titans of the Past News

Hello,

Alex 13 here. We've finished Sprint #33 and crossed the equator of the Demo Milestone. We expect some slight delays, considering which the Demo build should be ready in about 2 months.

Hello,

Alex 13 here. Good holidays rest brought us good results. Here's the changelog:

• Blood splatters when dealing and taking damage
  
• New attack VFX
  
• A few new spells
  
• Added the Tutorial - this was actually the focus of the sprint
  
• Mostly finished the Statistic screens - thing like how much characters created, adventures won and lost, items looted, highest damage dealt etc. We love this stuff in other games (like Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate 1&2) so decided to add it to our game
  
• Lots of bugfixes found during our extensive internal playtest (it was fun time!)
  
• New icons for some abilities
  
• New music
  

Also, we're starting to gather a list of playtesters for the upcoming closed test. If you're willing to test the game and provide feedback - ping me at [email protected]

The playtest will happen somewhere in Spring, probably March-April. But don't take my word on that.

Hello,

Alex 13 here. First of all - Happy Holidays!

Most of the team (10 people already!) were on a holiday break. 2024 was a year of good progress, and 2025 is a year of release. We've spent time with our loved ones, and played lots of games :) Now we're ready to rock as much as possible.

Before this, we've finished Sprint 30. Here's the changelog:

• Spell scaling for mobs
  
• All AOE spells now deal friendly fire - ToP is a tactical game
  
• Wands VFX
  
• New mob spawn VFX for arena levels - ARPG-like portal
  
• Improved visual and audial feedback of player characters taking damage
  
• Swamp map - good progress, 80% done
  
• New Arena map - wintery Marketplace
  
• Loot tags for items
  
• New post-process, a bit Borderlands-ish
  
• Mobs can now properly cast AOE buff and debuff spells
  
• Some spells now push enemies back for more fun and chaos
  
• A few new spells
  
• Started working on Statistics visible to players: how much damage dealt and taken, resources gathered and spent, kills and deaths and so on
  
• Blood Magic spells now cost HP instead of Energy (mana)
  
• Finally completed work on all skills - 68 of them
  
• Proper location targeting for spells
  
• Summon spells and skills that buff summons
  
• Reduced amount of information in the Mob Info tooltip - keeping only the necessary information
  
• Spawn chance for resource pickables
  
• Descriptions for all classes
  
• Descriptions for all affixes
  
• Default spells for all classes
  

We'll be working on the Demo. It's time for us to stop implementing pieces of mechanics and content and start working on the playable product. That's our focus for the Demo - give you something playable and descriptive.












See you in about two weeks.

13, clear
