Fabular: Once Upon a Spacetime - littleoliphant
Hello everyone!

It’s incredible to think that Fabular: Once Upon a Spacetime has now been out for over a month! Thank you to everyone who has picked up their copy and tried it out.

This week we’re delving into Journey Mode and what you can expect playing this version of Fabular.

Journey Mode is the main mode in Fabular, where you'll get to explore the game's deep lore, while also exploring the galaxy!



What is Journey Mode?

In Journey Mode, you begin in Realm 1 and journey through the different realms, fighting increasingly difficult enemies, while managing your resources, and upgrading your ship in order to survive.

The first step is selecting your ship and then you’ll find yourself on the starmap.



The Starmap
Although the starmap may appear easy at first glance, it requires careful planning, as well as a smidgen of luck, to safely navigate all its nodes.

Navigating the realms can be deadly. Without knowing which planet is connected with others, it can be difficult to plan your route. Make good use of all the gadgets at your disposal to safely explore the realm:
  • Scouts reveal nearby nodes to help you identify dead ends.
  • The all-seeing eye reveals the entire starmap.
  • Teleport beacons let you create a teleport point to return to in the future without expending any fuel.
Don’t forget about your resources! Exploring every node on the starmap is dangerous, unless you have a good supply of moonchill to fuel your ship. Flying without moonchill could cause irreparable damage to your spacecraft, as the infant sun powering your ship won’t be cooled after every jump.

Watch out for bandits. You’re a high profile figure exploring the realms alone, which makes you a large target for bandits. The more nodes you explore on the starmap, the more aware of your enemies will become, raising your alert level. The higher your alert level, the more difficult battles will be, but you’ll also get more/better loot!



Events
Every node on the starmap contains a random event for you to encounter.

Some events will result in a battle, while others will require quick-thinking to resolve. Occasionally an event will send you on a quest, requiring you to navigate to a certain node or carry a passenger for some time.

During events you’ll also be given choices that will result in different outcomes. Selecting the moral choice in a situation is rewarded with tokens, which can be used to purchase meta upgrades. But these may not always be the best choices for you, depending on your playstyle.



Battles & Bosses
The main goal of Fabular’s journey mode is to successfully navigate all five realms and defeat the Void Lords.

Every realm has its own enemy types and end bosses for you to face and, as you progress through the realms, the difficulty of these enemies will increase. This is represented by stars on your Cosmic Chart.



As 2022 comes to a close, we’re getting prepared for 2023 when we have some big updates coming for Fabular. We can’t wait to share them with you.

Until next time,

Cloudbuilt - Gafgar
We know it has been quite a while since we gave any updates on anything here. 

For that we can only say sorry. Things have been busy, and our day time work has kept us busy enough to not have much time for Coilworks lately.

However, things have calmed down a bit and we are finally back working on Coilworks stuff again.

So, we got two points we would like to update you all on. One about a major upcoming Cloudbuilt update that will arrive in January, and one about the promised Super Cloudbuilt update.

For the full new post, please check it out on our website here:

If you've tried Deflector at all, then you've been in the Eradicator bioshell. And today we'd love to show you the glow-up that Eradicator's official artwork got.



What do you think? Should we make a wallpaper pack with the OG Specimen?

NEW FEATURES

New Winter Soldier Mission Chain: ‘Winter Kills’

A new mission chain for the Winter Soldier is available in 2.7.1 - ‘Winter Kills’ - and it rewards players with a full set of Power Level 165 gear!

Yes – barring the objectives you have to complete for the mission chain, this more or less allows new players to skip the grind for Winter Soldier and jump right into challenging endgame content like our new Omega-Level Threat: AIM’s Cloning Lab.

We’ve seen so many new and returning players log in to experience the Winter Soldier (Sidenote: your Photo Mode shots of Bucky are giving us life), and we want these players to experience the thrill of completing endgame challenges too. The PL 165 barrier to entry can be restrictive, so our goal with this new mission chain is to give more players an easier path into the endgame loop.

That said, ‘Winter Kills’ is not an immediate skip to PL 165; you'll need to complete a list of objectives that starts with finishing Bucky’s Heroic Mission Chain and culminates in completing the Discordant Sound raid (on Normal difficulty). You’d typically have to go through our endgame loop for weeks to obtain max PL gear, but through ‘Winter Kills,’ which can breezily take about a week to get through, players now have an easier path into our endgame content than before.

Here’s a breakdown of the gear and resources you’ll earn from the new mission chain:

  • Melee Exotic Gear 165 (Hero A - Classic set)
  • Ranged Exotic Gear 165 (Hero A - Classic set)
  • Defense Exotic Gear 165 (Hero A - Classic set)
  • Heroic Exotic Gear 165 (Hero A - Classic set)
  • Minor Artifact at 165 (x2)
  • 10,000 Fragments
  • 2,500 Polychoron
  • 5,000 Units

REASSEMBLE CAMPAIGN & AVENGERS INITIATIVE

  • Having Kamala as a companion while equipped with the “Polymorph Counter Spike” perk no longer causes the game crash that some players experienced after Update 2.7.
  • In the new Omega-Level Threat: AIM’s Cloning Lab, MODOK can no longer dodge to the side while his gigabeam is active.
  • Also in the Cloning Lab, we added collision boxes to certain environmental elements in the boss encounter room to prevent Heroes from clipping into the world.
  • Similarly, the camera for some players would clip under the floor when those players would take damage during the MODOK fight. We’ve updated the collision elements in the floor assets to prevent this from happening.
  • We fixed an issue causing the camera to lock onto the player during the MODOK fight rather than MODOK.
  • MODOK will occasionally follow flying Heroes without attacking them, but the Avengers don’t get off that easy! MODOK will now attack flying Heroes, as intended.
  • Damage modifiers were not applied correctly to MODOK when targeting specific parts of him – specifically the head and terrigen crystal. We’ve fixed this so that damage modifiers are applied correctly!
  • When playing with a full Strike Team, MODOK’s gigabeam VFX weren’t displaying for at least one player in the party. All players in a Strike Team will now see the VFX.Matchmaking hosts controllers will no longer vibrate when another player in the party playing as Winter Soldier shoots his rifle.

USER INTERFACE

  • We updated the mission chain descriptions for “Omega-Level Threat: AIM Cloning Lab” to have the correct descriptions.

ART AND ANIMATION

  • MODOK’s back battery was missing its gem, so we added the VFX in for that!
  • Bucky no longer draws his weapon automatically after using a melee attack.

GEAR, CHALLENGES, & REWARDS

  • Black Widow’s ‘Support Cryo Administrator’ Perk no longer grants double the expected nanites to allies.
  • Black Panther’s ‘Ultimate Gamma Administrator’ Perk no longer doubles the expected amount of nanites to allies.
  • ‘Ultimate Lethal Cryo’ and ‘Ultimate Gamma Administrator’ Perks now grant charges for appropriate Heroes as intended.

KNOWN ISSUES & WORKAROUNDS

  • A quick update on gear! Stat growth on exotic gear pieces and the Ultimo-Stone legendary minor artifact is currently under-tuned. We are working on a fix so that there will be greater jumps in stat growth at PL 167, 171, and 175 than at present. (Currently, the stat growth gates are at PL 171 and 174.) This fix is not present in this update – 2.7.1 - but will come shortly after! For now, our recommendation is that you do not upgrade your favorite gear pieces past PL 170 until the fix is live. Thank you for your patience!
