Hi folks!

With Underworld DLC content getting closer to final, it's time for some updates on the progress and my thoughts on Erannorth's future.

It's a long post, so grab a coffee and let me tell you a story.

Back in December, during the last DLC progress update, I mentioned that the new DLC Organization will be Underworld, and that their signature class will be the 'Thug'. Also that there will be a new race, the 'Nomad', which will be improving/re-imagining the Nomad race, I released in the Unofficial Expansion Pack a couple of months ago.

The only thing that changed since then, is the Underworld's signature class name, which became 'Crime Lord'. We still start as a lowly thug, but at least now there is a better/clearer goal of what we are trying to achieve here ;)

In that news post, I also asked you if you prefer the remaining part of the DLC to be events or archetypes.

And the resounding verdict was events.

• There will be around 300+ new cards (around 150 for the new archetypes, and 150 expanding existing archetypes, loot etc.)
  
• a mix of new enemies and bosses.
  
• and several new challenges in the Sandox map.

But the main highlight of this DLC, will be an overhaul of all the in-game events and interactions, adding some more RPG elements to the game and setting up a more unified framework for modders to build their own events.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1473810/Erannorth_Reborn__Underworld/

Why overhaul the events system? Or what's wrong with the current event system?

Well, many things, one could argue. Starting with the facts that I am neither a writer, nor a native English speaker. But since you are stuck with me, let's sugar-coat things a bit and round the problems down to three:

a) The Event system I developed myself wasn't very flexible, and in retrospective was a bit of a pain in the a@$ to expand with new choices.

b) Many choices in those events were archetype locked, and with so many archetypes, most events had nothing to offer, unless you were playing with that combination.

I mean why on earth would anyone check if the player is 'Shadow' and not if the player has 'Subterfuge'? Only one class can be a 'Shadow' but more archetypes could possibly have a 'Subterfuge' skill. DnD 101.

Well the simple answer to that is that Erannorth was initially designed to be a Card Game system.
The various RPG-like elements like stats, character creation, world map and equipment were added incrementally at later dates at 'what if?' moments of restlessness.

c) there was little to no randomness, and few branching paths because of a). So every time the event would play in the exact same way.

A solution, and more problems

The recent addition of the open-source Ink Script framework, opened up a whole new horizon of possibilities for our own events system. Solving problems a & c in one fell swoop.

So I started re-writing all the game events and event-like interactions from scratch.

But then problem b) became even more apparent.

I had already started working on a moddable Expertise framework some time midways DLC2, and eventually some expertises were introduced in DLC3, but mainly to be used within the card system.

Because you know, the key of having passive skills in your system is to actually use them. There is no point of having a Subterfuge skill if nothing is making use of it.

When the watermelons get too many to carry.

Another major problem that slowed developing this expansion *a lot* is that it's becoming nearly impossible to keep each DLC standalone. Cards using other cards, events giving them as rewards, universal perks, locations using bosses unique to each expansion and even having a contunuity as an event. etc.

Each expansion is planned to work on its own, or that is the intent, but in practice they are build on top of each other and to complement each other. For me, who designed them, makes 0 sense for someone to pick DLC3 instead of DLC1, but it's something that happens more often than not.

In retrospective expandability wasn't something I had properly planned for, and honestly reaching 4 DLCs now feels like a feat. Not to mention that my life would have been easier, to plan things better if at day one I had Erannorth engine v1.085 in my hands instead of nothing.

This leads to the following piece of bittersweet news for those who came to love Erannorth despite its imperfections.

Underworld will be the last major expansion for Erannorth

Underworld DLC will introduce several new passive skills / expertise fields into the events system.

Each class in the game starts with 3 of them. You will be able to learn more using your Headquarter's (or Hideout) library. Having these fields of expertise will provide you additional choices in various events, certain cards that require them etc.

Building a Library in your Headquarters





Upgrading my Crime Lord expertise fields



All events are redesigned from ground up, to introduce more variety, randomness a few branching paths, but most importantly expandability.

The key word here is *introduce*. But I hope it will leave a better/unified framework for modders to tell their own stories. Let's see some examples.

Hey a corpse! Imagine that!





Bandits in the Clocktower?



The Bone Altar



Someone grown up!



Finally something familiar!



Hey who are you and what you did to my Nightingale?



Well you get the point ;)

Unforeseen obstacles and set backs aside, Underworld will be coming as planned by mid/end February. I'd say I am ~80% done. But as with all predictions, take it as: 'when it's ready' ;)

Also, as I said Underworld will be the final major expansion for Erannorth Reborn and further updates in Erannorth (if any) will be bugfixes.

Of course with every end comes a new beginning.

So I'll be giving you more details on Erannorth 2 after Underworld DLC is released ;)

Hi guys!

Game development is a complex process, full of ever-changing design ideas, tweaking, testing, and improving. Recently we’ve sat down and redesigned one of the main sights you’ll see on your screens - the stage where your performers face the audience (otherwise known as: the battle arena).

Up until now the artists were facing left, towards the audience. It was a satisfying sight - the opponents are on the left and our artists on the right have to avoid their attacks. However, recently we’ve decided to flip it and place the audience on the right and our performers on the left. It’s different, but we like it:) This change creates a familiar vibe and feeling well-known from games since the first Mario - the main hero progresses moving in the right (literally) direction.


Of course, in our game, the characters don’t move physically. However, the new angle feels more intuitive, and it’s a design choice similar to those in some other card games and roguelikes.

We’re pretty satisfied with this decision and we really hope you, too, will like this - again, literally - new direction we’ve chosen!


Hope you like it!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, there's a crowdfunding campaign starting next week, please click "Notify me on launch" button in the link below:
