About This Game

Development Roadmap

Soul Shards (Ascension System)

• Rewards from gaining Global profile levels (levels that persist between games) these can be used in a powerful skill tree like interface where choices matter depending on which Element path you want to focus on.
  
• Tiers 1 through 4, levels 1 through 100 (Global levels)
  
• - As of 29th July 2023, Tier 1 (levels 1 through 15) is now available.
  
• Experience gains from release will persist for this future system, all experience gained in-game is added to a global total experience, which in turn is used for the Ascension System

Ability Synergies & Evolutions

• Using equipment and certain ability combinations will result in the option to evolve them into stronger versions
  
• These evolutions will aim to have their own sequence of upgrades
  
• Tier 1 evolution: 2 maxed abilities = 1 evolved ability
  
• Tier 2 evolution: 1 evolved ability + synergizing equipment = Tier 2 evolution of ability

Expansions

• We will be adding more maps, more abilities and more bosses, but in moderation. We will try not to make the game unnecessarily complex
  
• We are currently leaning towards an approach to this were we raise the base game price per "big expansion", rather than doing a DLC approach
  
• This will also introduce unique mobs per map, cutscenes for map and hero unlocks and more to come

Boss Challenge Rooms

• Fight several or single bosses that have unique mechanics in a single challenge map for unique rewards
  
• The Void boss encounters would be a perfect candidate for this where each element has its own unique boss

Settings and Customization (and/or General QoL)

• We intend to add a wide range of options for tweaking the game to your liking
  
• Custom crosshairs/cursors
  
• UI element positioning/layout
  
• All configurable through XML files local to the executable, and stored using steam cloud

Ranked Mode

• Once we're comfortable with our anti-cheat detection/implementations we will add leaderboards/hiscores
  
• Potential for entire game Replays to be stored for anti cheat purposes and/or for a subscription fee to cover server costs/networking for this
  
• Replay system will most likely be free for local use/"unranked"

Game Modes

• General idea is to have some official game modes like "limit break" where you lock in one ability and its upgrades go on forever
  
• We might also add sped up gameplay to this (faster wave timers) as well as more max mob spawns per wave
  
• There is a good chance that we even take this to the next level and allow users to make their own shareable game-modes with their own rules/settings
