Now you have an idea of how much additions has appeared in D’ after so many updates. Let us highlight for you the most important innovations that make us proud. So…
Glare systemIt wasn’t difficult to make them. We are very sorry that we did not add them earlier, with them the game looks much more beautiful! It remains to figure out how to implement a realistic rendering of dynamic shadows. But it’s too early to talk about it.
Screen shaking when taking damageMost of the guys from our team did not appreciate this innovation, because the sharp turn of the screen made them dizzy. But for me personally, this innovation has gained momentum in battle and, most importantly, emphasized the strength of the blow.
New conditions for the good endingMany players complained that the Sorcery spell does not affect the final development of the plot. Originally this spell was only an auxiliary tool for the player to quickly replenish your health in an emergency or to leave the maniac state. But now saving souls really matters. The new condition is: you must save the soul of every single monster you murdered, no less. Not killing any monsters is still permitted. We believe that this is fair.
New dialogue in the organ hall in the good endingMany people did not like the fact that Abel poured dirt on the player even if the player did not killed anyone. Let’s be honest with you, we deeply do not care about the whole current plot of D’LIRIUM. We are going to expand the current story and write a completely new script for the release version of the game. Yes, it will be in fact the same story that is now, but more complex and long. However, it will be very, very long, So we decided to make sure the players were happy with the achievement of a good ending.
Tutorial and hintsMost importantly, what many asked, but what we still did not reach the hands. Finally, we did the normal training of the most basic principles of management. Now the game will teach you how to use weapons, teleportation, modifiers, enter a state of panic and more. Pop-up at the right time hints will accompany the player the whole game, and the experienced players can disable them in the settings.
Updated ‘Help’ menu‘Help’ menu is now much easier to understand, there is no longer so much text, it now says the most information necessary. Moreover, it adapts to the situation and if the player does not have a spell - it will say that it needs to be found. And only after finding the spell, the ’Help’ menu will teach the player how to use it. Depending on the selected control and modifier, it will teach the player different actions. No extra words, only the specifics.
We hope Beta-10 will be the best update for you, which will definitely be the last one before the final release of the game. And even if it is not - we still think of something to surprise you. And still want to apologize to our Patrons for there is no new updates on our page. That's the price of the surprises we make for all for you. But we promise that soon our Patreon page will have a lot of new things and we still need you. The project is alive atleast because of your support!
