Progress Update: More Tools to Survive the Deep Dungeons
Hey Companions! Part two of our progress update continues. More items and facilities to help you last into Day 4 and beyond. Especially as the dungeons get deeper, players need more tools and strategies to survive.
[h2]Facilities[/h2]
These structures on the Island help with your overall strategy, whether to heal yourself, teleport to a team mate, teleport to the dungeon, and more.
[h3]Teleportaloo[/h3]
It's an outdoor toilet and a teleportation device! A magical outhouse that will teleport you straight to one of your team members. This will come in really handy when equipped with a Teleport or the Wayhome stone, so you can keep making runs back and forth, collecting as much Treasure as you can. Pro-tip, load up on the Queen's Favor potion to carry more Treasure in your inventory!
Note: not a real toilet 😎
[h3]Bath House[/h3]
Need to heal up? Head over to the Bath House where you can restore your health, remove toxins and other forms of virulent plagues.
[h3]Teleport Ring[/h3]
The Teleport Ring will randomly teleport you to a new location in the dungeon. But be warned you could end up deep in the depths! Make sure you bring along a Teleport Stone or a Wayhome Stone so you can make your way back!
[h3]Status Board[/h3]
With the Status Board, you’ll always know who’s alive and who’s dead. It’s a quick way to check the current game state and track the progress of your companions in real time.
[h3]Beacon Upgrade[/h3]
Say "I can see clearly now" in the Abyssal Lands, it now displays the Dungeon Side Entrances in red and Dark Shrine in purple. This will come in handy in the later stages of the game.
[h2]Items and inventory[/h2]
We're making an improvement to the items. Along with the coins, body parts, items now appear as loot in the Abyssal Lands and the Dungeons. Previously you could only buy it in the Shop, but now there is a chance the torch may drop, or a potion. It makes exploring more rewarding and also helps you survive better. Because of that change, we have also increased the number of items you can carry by default from four to five.
[h3]Boomer Mine[/h3]
A new explosive that’s triggered by a word! If you say the right word, the Boomer Mine will go boom, dealing damage to nearby players and stunning anyone who survives the blast. Use it strategically to slow down monsters... or your teammates.
[h3]Curse Remover[/h3]
Use the Curse Remover to scrub away any Death Curse you have. Useful if you keep stacking up those annoying curses. Expensive though, so you better collect as much gold as you can.
[h3]Cure-All Potion[/h3]
These potions are here to restore your health and remove any poisons, blight and more. Super useful! Very handy for advanced levels where monsters are aplenty! Or if you friends talk way too much and trigger your curse words by accident!
[h3]Cleansing Bell[/h3]
Got too many curses? The Cleansing Bell can transfer your curses to other players. Use it strategically to offload your bad luck onto someone else - perfect to cause total chaos!
[h2]New Decor and Furniture[/h2]
Decorate your house with brand new furniture items! From chairs to tables, we’ve got a whole host of new options to help personalize your space.
[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
This is not a comprehensive list of new stuff, there's a lot more we've not revealed. Just a little teaser of things you'd get when we launch the game into Early Access.
We're working to playtest these features so if you're interested, please hop to our Discord and give us a holler.
We're working hard towards the Early Access release this year, trying to ensure the experience is as great as possible. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, WISHLIST!
