Hey guys,

Here it is at last... As we mentioned earlier this week, we are introducing a new resource in Dungeon of the Endless: Science, which you will be able to play once your game has updated (you may need to restart Steam)!

We have been amazed by the amount of submissions in our latest forums competition for hero items. With about 180+ ideas, we have decided to allow the community to vote for their favourites, which now leads us to tonight's GAMES2GETHER vote on hero items!



CHANGES & ADDITIONS

System

• Changed version annotation system
  
• Changed location of the diagnostics.html files: .../Public/Documents/Dungeon of the Endless/Temporary Files
  
• Changed keys configuration for specific keyboards
  
• Added a shortcut: you can now select a module in the build menu with F1, F2, F3, F4 or Z, X, C ,V
  
• Changed a shortcut: you can select multiple heroes with “Q” on QWERTY/QWERTZU (“A” on AZERTY keyboard)

Gameplay

• Added 3 new items with special skills
  
  • Aftershave
    
  • Hipster Scarf
    
  • Ahhrrrmani Suit
• Added an area of effect FX for the “Claymoar” module
  
• Improved notifications:
  
  • New item discovery
    
  • New module unlocked
• Improved module tooltips
  
• New score calculation: it is now based on the number of doors open, FIS gathered, killed mobs, Dust lost, heroes lost and FIS left at the end; we decided not to take the time factor into account and continue to display it as a second value

FX

• Modified several VFXs and SFXs on skills and the Sewer environment
  
• Added VFX on superior levels modules
  
• Added VFX when you level up modules
  
• Added VFX when you suppressed modules

SCIENCE & RESEARCH

• Added a new resource: Science
  
• Implemented Endless Artefacts: you can now find artefacts in rooms that allow you to research new modules, in exchange of Science; this artefact needs to be defended during the research (3 turns). See Dev Blog for details: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/content.php?386-DotE-Scientific-Progress-Goes-Woof
  
• Added levels on modules: you can now level up your modules with Endless Artefacts ; 4 levels per modules, for both major and minor modules
  
• Added 3 new modules:
  
  • Science Creator I (major module)
    
  • Tactical HUD (major module)
    
  • Tear Gas (minor module)

BALANCING

• Increased the overall difficulty of the game
  
• Reduced the difficulty on level 1
  
• Reduced price and power of non-common items
  
• Reduced spawn probability of some powerful items
  
• Tweaked effects of support / debuff modules
  
• Reduced power of some modules, as resource production of major modules (but can be increased with level up)
  
• Increased hero levelling up cost (especially for the last levels)
  
• Increased power of some passive skills
  
• Increased merchant HP / defence
  
• Reduced the amount of minor slots in the last levels
  
• Increased the amount of major slots
  
• Reduced disparity between mobs speed (increased difficulty)
  
• Increased Dust loot in rooms
  
• Changed the defence computation: new formula of damage = attack power * (1 - (defence / defence + 100)) with new defence values for heroes, mobs, items, modules and skill (prevents invincibility)

We are currently working on the difficulty levels.


BUG FIX

• Fixed the effect of some passive skills:
  
  • Repair
    
  • Knee Deep in Blood
    
  • Placebo
• Fixed several bugs:
  
  • Chest stuck in doorway after a hero’s death
    
  • Blocked hero in a specific room
    
  • Rocks appearing in the background
• Fixed an exploit: free Dust from the Merchant

Your previous save will not be compatible with the current version, so make sure you start a new game! :) Thank you.

Hey everyone,

We hope you had a nice weekend and that you are enjoying the latest build of Dungeon of the Endless. We have recently introduced the Laboratory environment and all know that you are eagerly expecting the last missing resource of DotE: Science!

It will complete the FIDS (Food, Industry, Dust, Science) you can already find in our previous game, Endless Space! Of course, the update will include other features as well, but we'll tell you more about that when the update is available: sometime this week.



The addition of Science in Dungeon of the Endless is defined by:

• a resource
  
• a major module
  
• an Endless Artefact

Science will grant the player a new possibility of progression to adjust to the evolving difficulty. Indeed, you will be able to research new modules or the improved versions of your current ones, with Endless Artefact.

This Endless Artefact represents a new room type and a positive event. When clicking on the Artefact, the player will be given four possible choices; each of these choices may be: a new module or an upgraded version of a module you already have. The randomness of blueprints is then replaced by the research of modules through these Endless Artefacts.

A module research will cost you Science points, that you will be able to produce thanks to the Science major module, and three door openings (three turns, basically) to be completed. This means that you will need to protect the Artefact against the enemy waves, creating an interesting new defence point in the dungeon that will force you, or not, to defend it until your research is completed or for later use.

Once you have unlocked a new module or obtained its upgraded version, it will automatically be replaced by its newer version. After that, you will be able to use the Artefact for another research, following the same process.

It will be almost impossible to research all the modules in the game, which will greatly diversify each playthrough and encourage the player to make the best choice possible. Indeed, she/he should be aware that the modules presented to them may or may not reappear again; this should increase the importance of making the right decision.

The player will then decide if she/he wants to specialise or diversify her/his modules.


More info on this update coming soon!

Hi guys,

We have prepared for you an exciting update [0.1.20] for Dungeon of the Endless that will introduce a new level (now 5 in total), a new environment: the Laboratory, new mobs, a new hero, some improvements, difficulty tweaks, bug fixes etc. Check out the release notes below for more details.



IMPROVEMENTS AND ADDITIONS

• Added 1 new level, reaching a total of 5:
  
  • Special stage: the level 5 has no major slot. The player has to stock resources in the previous levels to win the game; the initial Industry & Food production bonus is set to 3
• Added the Laboratory environment at level 3, 4 & 5
  
• Added a new layout for the starting rooms above level 1
  
• Improved the level design with more branches around the Crystal at level 4 & 5
  
• Improved the exit spawn: now generated at the beginning of the level so it doesn’t spawn next to the first room
  
• Added 2 new mobs: Hydra and zombie Chimera (special behaviours to be added on the Hydra)
  
• Added 1 new hero: Golgy, the spider-woman, with 3 exclusive new skills and a particularity: she doesn’t have weapons but 2 device slots
  
• Added 8 new objects, some with passive skills, like repairing (repairing skill has been added to already existing items). The tooltip of these items with skills is WIP
  
• Fixed some passive skills effects (e.g. Iron Fist and Placebo)
  
• Improved performance, especially on the GUI
  
• Improved the hero GUI panel (better feedback on hit, still WIP)

BALANCING

• Some mobs now spawn on specific levels
  
• Reduced the difficulty at level 1 (no more Crystal Eaters or Golems): we want to keep this level less difficult to let the player grasp the game
  
• Slightly reduced difficulty at level 4 (in prevision of level 5):
  
• Reduced waves number
  
• Slightly increased hero and merchant spawns, Dust and major slots
  
• Slightly increased mobs Dust loot
  
• Slightly increased the power of mobs but reduced their number
  
• Improved War Mask skill (Hikensha): the attack power bonus is applied even in the powered rooms
  
• Increased Dust at start to 24 (previously set to 20)

Your previous game save will not be compatible so please start a new game. Thank you!



We actively read the Official Forums and Steam Discussions though we don't necessarily always have the time to reply. So keep on giving us feedback: that's how we will improve the game!

As you know, we enjoy the interactions that the GAMES2GETHER allows: sharing our design documents to get your opinion on the game at a very early stage of the development, the Early Access system that allows you to play the game before its official release and participate in the design choices, meeting you in person at gaming events or at the studio, organising design brainstorms and of course competitions that allow us to add your awesome ideas at the same level as ours in the game!

We have a new vote available: pick your favourite major and minor modules: GAMES2GETHER page.

And, a new forums competition also just started: Item Creation Competition.
