Greetings, Saviors!

Introducing our new [BGM Movie Trailer] “Onmyoji” Official Trailer #1

● Onmyoji

About 90 years ago, the first Onmyoji abandoned their homeland and made way to our blessed Kingdom, where they took on different positions at the service of the Royal Court. Though their work in the Court ended 4 decades ago, the Onmyoji remain in the Kingdom, quietly tending to their craft in communion with the local people. That, they believe, is the way to creating a place for the Onmyoji in our society. After Medzio Diena, they have focused their efforts on addressing the hardships of a nation struck by catastrophe through the harmonious ways of their class.

It is in the balance of heaven and earth, light and dark, yin and yang that the Onmyoji find the source of their power, and nowhere are these forces better represented than in the union of the human body and spirit, which stand between heaven and earth. That is why the Onmyoji imbue their power onto sheets of paper cut out into human shapes. The energies in equilibrium manifest themselves in the properties of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, which are known as the Five Elements. The Onmyoji can use these properties not only to confuse and attack their enemies, but to protect themselves as well.

In recent times, Onmyoji Master Ahiro Seimei was involved in mediating between his country of origin and the Kingdom he now calls home. According to what was reported, the Master had been tasked with attending to complex diplomatic requests coming from his homeland while minimizing the burden on our Kingdom’s authorities. Thanks to his harmonious nature, Seimei managed to gather the support of other Class Masters, who helped him fulfill his duty most successfully.

Besides his work on the balance of the Five Elements under the rule of the goddesses and divine spirits, the Onmyoji Master is also particularly concerned with achieving harmony in the relations between his native country and our nation.

Fortunately, the Kingdom’s divine spirits are known to be gentle and temperate, allowing the Onmyoji Master a certain degree of freedom in his work. On the other hand, the burden of communicating with the divine spirits is one he shares with the Miko Master, whose carefree personality at times hinders his intentions.

In an era where the Onmyoji are no longer newcomers but integrated subjects of the Kingdom, the aftermath of Medzio Diena is heavy on the young Master’s shoulders, but our people trust his strong dedication to harmony to lead us into peaceful days, where the Kingdom and its divine spirits can live happily under the grace of the goddesses.

● Lyrics

As time flows by like a river
Pines and forest are evergreen
Cherry blossoms bloom gracefully
But my joy and sorrow wither away

As my heart drifts away into the Southern wind
Memories of summer breeze fill the air
Though I yearn for my homeland for a thousand times
My vision will be burnt into ashes

As my heart drifts away into the Northern wind
Memories of autumn bliss caress my soul
Though I yearn for my homeland for a thousand times
Every dream will be burnt into ashes

As I pray day and night under the sun and moon
Everlasting peace on Heaven and Earth
May the gods protect us from the skies above
And unite the nation in one like Yin and Yang

Winter has arrived in the shrine
May my home be safe as sound
I believe with the sovereign’s guide
We will have a miracle in store

Tree of Savior (English Ver.) - TREE OF SAVIOR

Greetings, Saviors!

Introducing our new [BGM Movie Trailer] “Ratiarius” Official Trailer #1

● Retiarius

In combat, the Retiarius’ main weapons are the net (called the ‘rete’), the trident, and the dagger. Though seemingly harmless at first glance, the rete is used to entrap enemies or pull them towards the Retiarius with one hand while the other attacks with the weapon. Also, the rete allows fighters to reach multiple enemies at once, a move which never fails to impress their audiences. This class is well-known for their dauntless displays in the arena, and the rete-based combat style is a crucial part of that.

Reriarius Master Caecilia, however, knows that fame is only momentary, as the public will always admire the strongest champions. Because of this, her determination to survive in the arena has allowed her to make a name for herself as Class Master. Many believe that, after losing her father in a combat accident and removing herself from the arena, she has returned only because of the events of Medzio Diena. However, her true intentions remain a mystery.

There are no eternal victors in the world of gladiators; defeat is an inevitable part of the experience. Despite this, the Retiarii have remained the most popular arena fighters for centuries, in large due to an old story dating back to the reign of King Kadumel, a story which also happens to depict the unfortunate temperament of the infamous tyrant.

One very famous Retiarius lived in the era of King Kadumel. This particular Retiarius was known for almost never wearing a helmet, in part because regulations at the time were nonexistent, but mostly to flaunt his well-sculpted features, or so the rumors said. One day at a tournament, the crowd was especially excited for his performance. When the referee finally gave the fighters the sign to attack, the handsome Retiarius immediately threw his rete upwards in the direction of his opponent. He knew that any competent gladiator would detect the trajectory of a descending net in seconds and escape before it could hit them.

That day, however, the Retiarius’ nimble attack failed to suppress his enemy, who had blocked the net with his shield. The crowd’s excitement dwelled down at the sight of their champion’s mistake. The Retiarius could no longer attack; the other gladiator had already breached the distance between them and reflected away his trident away with a throw of the dagger directed at his torso.

He fell to his knees. The shouting crowd and loud music around him drowned the Retiarius’ cry of pain. The referee quickly interrupted the battle to stand between the two men, looking up at King Kadumel who was watching from the royal box. The king did not ponder for long before ordering the gladiator to finish off the defeated Retiarius. As it later came to be known, the king had only sentenced the champion to death in order to win a personal bet, an act not unexpected of a monarch as ruthless as Kadumel.

The handsome Retiarius’ death became the most well-known incident in the arena under King Kadumel’s rule. After his reign, the Court abolished the practice of deciding the fate of their gladiators, and Retiarii gained the massive popularity they still carry to this day.

Most of the Kingdom’s combat arenas have closed since Medzio Diena, making it difficult for those in the field to host tournaments. Despite this, the Retiarius Master continues to train new fighters as a way to address the constant struggle for survival in today’s world and preserve the important role of gladiators in society.

● Lyrics

Finally called
To the place legends are born
And the blade of death is nowhere to be seen

Journey continues
As the day begins anew
Hear the heroes anthem as it brings you peace

There are times when you will fail
Wrecked into pieces
Cast by the shadows of fear
But despair will not be your last fate

Fight on for justice
Freedom and salvation
This is where you belong
I will be your savior

You’ll survive no matter what
I’ll be the strength in your whole life
You’ve come down a long way road
And now this path shall be yours forevermore

Lost in the dark
Where the beasts begin to lurk
Ready to ambush and tear your soul into two

Fear strikes once again
Driving you insane
Lost in the tempest and fail to escape

There are times when you will try
But end up falling
With guidance I bring into you
No discourage shall be in your way

Fight on for justice
Freedom and salvation
This is where you belong
I will be your savior

You’ll survive no matter what
I’ll be the strength in your whole life
You’ve come down a long way road
And now this path shall be yours forevermore

Version 0.9.0 Released!

Rogue Empire: Dungeon Crawler RPG - Rogue Empire

Ok guys, its time to merge the beta build to the main/default branch increasing the game version from 0.8.9 all the way up to 0.9.0 :D

IMPORTANT: Current saves should work, but I can not guarantee it.

So, without further ado here are all the changes introduced into 0.9.0 from 0.8.9 ( I might have missed some, if so I apologize). In bold are the more important features added. I am sure there will be bugs but as allways I will try to solve them as fast as posible!

New Features

A new campaign (Bonus experimental Feature): The Challenge Dungeon!
Champions are here!:
- Most levels have 1 Champion noted by small skull icon. They will be crated when a new level is generated (meaning old levels you already explored won't have them).
- Any champions have a greater HP pool, give more xp and (on average) relatively better and more loot (unless it is not a loot giving monster, e.g. a wolf champion wont give loot) in contrast to its lesser brethren.
- In addition, champions can have 1 of several base builds with different effects: more speed, tanky, more stats, avg, more damage, increased mana pool.
- Champions also have 1, 2 or 3 (depending on difficulty) additional spells drawn from a pool that varies on the enemy type, e.g. an archer has a specific pool of possible extra abilities and in a similar way a fire oriented caster will have specific possible extra abilities.
Added resistance gear.
Upgraded food system and balanced game accordingly. More info Here.
Random dungeons are now created when loading the world map for the first time. This dungeons are different in length and style. Initial dungeon level/danger roughly depends on distance from the initial player spawning position. Random dungeon ends spawn 3 champions and have several guaranteed chest rewards as well as gold.

Quests can now be tracked in the world map (if you have information about them) to make it easy to go where you need. Note: Because this adds information current main quests in the dawn of shadows campaign might not reflect the real progress of the quest.
Added option to limit game's frame rate.
