That's right: in this brand new game mode, your units don't need to eat. But the cost of newbies now depends on how big your squad is: the bigger it gets, the more expensive they'll be. You'll still see Sacrificial Pits, but they'll just be for fun now. The fun will end for you if accidentally click on one, so tell your puny humans to watch their step.



And yes, this mode works with multiplayer King of the Hill. But it's primarily for anyone who gets annoyed with the food mechanic. Give the game a try without it, and we'll see how it goes. We'd love for you to visit our Discord server and share your thoughts on the new mode with us. Or you can just come post memes in the off-topic channel.

• Increased cooldown for "Impulse" of Eggheads' towers (Tier 5 Eggheads class ability): 7 ⇒ 9s;
  
• Increased chance of an ability "Normal Punch" of level 5 Fighter: 5% ⇒ 10%!
  
• Damage and Health bonus are slightly increased for all the Tricksters' items.

Changes to random mutations:

• "Thick Skin": Armor 30 ⇒ 50;
  
• "Bash": Chance 10% ⇒ 15%;
  
• "Human Projectile": Cooldown 12 ⇒ 16 s; Mana 16 ⇒ 40;
  
• "Second Chance": Chance 40% ⇒ 50%; Health 25% ⇒ 50%;

To start off: Why we chose to work on ‘Aethermancer’ as our next project, instead of ‘Monster Sanctuary 2’. Working on a direct sequel to Monster Sanctuary would have been the more safe route and was definitely something we considered. But ultimately, working on Monster Sanctuary for over 5 years, we'd like to work on something new. We wanted to keep the monster taming aspect though and mix it with something different this time: A Roguelike/Roguelite game.

In what way Aethermancer and Monster Sanctuary will be similar

• You’re still fighting 3 vs 3 Monster battles, The battles being more challenging and engaging than usual monster taming games.
  
  
  
  
• Your monsters will have access to a lot of different attacks and passive skills, similarly like in Monster Sanctuary, encouraging players to come up with synergetic builds for monsters and team compositions. Players will recognize a lot of skills which will be in some way similar to the ones in Monster Sanctuary. You’ll also have other options to enhance and customise your monsters, like equipment.
  
  
  
  
• Buffs and Debuffs will play a big role again in monster & combat strategies.
  
  
• Every Monster is supposed to be viable and interesting on its own. There should be no monsters which are clearly inferior to others in all use cases.

How Aethermancer will be different

• First of all, in addition to being a monster taming game, it will be a Rogulike, a Roguelite to be more precise. It is designed to have shorter playthrough time, being more difficult, with the idea players to try to beat the game multiple times. You will lose your monsters and most of their progress, but you will keep their souls and they will be slightly stronger when in your team next time. Also you will have a meta progression for the Aethermancer (the player character) and with the natural experience of players getting better at the game, it will make consecutive runs easier. While differently skilled players will require different amounts of attempts, the goal is to have a game that eventually most players will be able to beat on normal difficulty.
  
  
• Skills this time won’t be acquired through skill trees, but we’ll offer the player a choice out of 3 skills on every level up. Those skills will be picked randomly from the monster’s skill pool. This is very common in Roguelike games and the idea is to have every run feel and play differently, even when using the same monsters. Also it will make every individual monster of the same kind feel a bit unique.
  
  
• Using Skills will require 4 different Elements of Aether, instead of the classical Mana Points. Your monsters will have a shared pool of Aether which replenishes to a certain degree every turn.
  
  
  
  
• Additionally, your monsters will have skills and equipment which helps you to generate and manage Aether
  
  
  
  
• The environments will be randomly generated this time, to also make different runs not feel too repetitive. Also the exploration will be top-down now, no longer side-view.
  
  
  
  
• There will be a hub location that will evolve over time, using meta currency you get from your run attempts. You’ll help the residents build new houses and it will grow over time, becoming more and more prosperous.

Here is an early sketch of how it might look like when fully evolved:



Conclusion

Of course there will be a lot more small differences in detail and features which we won’t mention yet. Also, it is clear to us that dipping into the roguelite genre, while on the one hand we will create something new and more unique, but on the other hand will make this game not everyone’s cup of tea (similarly some didn’t like the Metroidvania aspect of Monster Sanctuary). But we think we can make this idea into a really cool game and we will put our 100% into Aethermancer as we did with Monster Sanctuary!

Thou hast fought so bravely and defeated great evil in our demo, it is now time to rest for a moment before you raise your swords once more. Come hither and listen closely, friends, as I tell you the story of Camelot and its terrible fate, of how the Knights of the Round Table rose to defend their kingdom and tragically perished.



Long before tragedy struck, at the beginning of all things, the great Architect took it upon himself to create the world we now call our home. He soon moved this monumental creation – his most magnificent yet – to its own dimension, far away from the Astral Dimension which housed our world as it was built. Shortly after, the Architect sealed the realm with the Holy Grail, the one artefact which would soon bring about the downfall of our legendary kingdom.

Only a few remember the tale of Camelot’s creation today, though many celebrate its rise to fame and glory. Much of this triumph we owe to Merlin, the most powerful wizard in the realm, who, in harnessing a foreign yet potent power, aided our beloved King Arthur’s ascension to the throne. Did you know, dear friends, that Merlin had a hand in the congregation of the Knights of the Round Table? ‘Twas he who entrusted them with the mission to seek the Holy Grail … if only he had known then the cost of their success.



Our fearless knights did as they were told, discovered the Holy Grail, opened a portal to the Astral Dimension and … well, the rest is history.

Perchance you remember the moment disaster struck as the Void Giant emerged. The courageous Knights of the Round rose to protect and defend the kingdom, to protect its people … but to no avail. Our dear king fought bravely but as the nefarious giant tore down our glorious kingdom, he too perished – and earthly Camelot was no more.



With his last remaining powers, Merlin saved our lives, sending us to the Astral Dimension along with what remained of our beauteous home. Some blabbermouths insist his actions were merely accidental … but do not listen to such slander.

Since our arrival in this realm, I heard tales, of not one but three giants roaming this realm. Though, you mustn’t worry about such rumours, dear knights, after all, wise Merlin has found a way to resurrect our king who will save us all.


‘Tis what remains of our Camelot for now. It may not be much but do not let your eyes fool you – we shall rebuild what has been destroyed, mayhap you can help us. Return as often as you like, to rest, regain strength or better your weapons.



Prithee, before you head into battle, you must train! Seek our demo and prologue for thy pleasure and practice and share triumphs with your fellow knights on our Discord.

Fare thee well, young knights! We wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Due to a computing error by the Vehicle Manufacturers Guild (Lawsuit Pending), 1,048,576 extra vehicles have been ordered for ALL locations. Per company policy, the vehicles will be delivered no matter who’s there to sign for it. No need to worry about the cost, HQ will be billed directly. So; defend the drop zones, claim your shipment, and take over the streets! Your killbots may not be 100% vehicle certified, but the vehicles are available on the basis that they are put to use immediately upon delivery, so use it or lose it.

High above the City is the Tower Tops, where the Neobots reign supreme. At least, they will until a newer, taller development project is finished...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the solar system, ground has been broken at the new Mars building site....


We’ve spent a lot of extra time working on this update, and we thank you for your patience!

New content:
Introducing Vehicles!
-Use E to climb into a seat
-Use WASD to control the steering and acceleration/breaks
-While in the gunner seat, you can issue drive commands: W to move forward, S to stop, and Q to toggle driver AI. Remember: press F1 to toggle the control tips!
-The vehicles are delivered by drop ship. When a vehicle is destroyed, a new one will be delivered. They also come equipped with a self-flip feature, to help right them when they’re stuck. (Take that, towing companies!)

Two new levels: The Mars Space Elevator built by Sofa, which features new music by Muchkin, and Tower Tops!

A new ability for the Medic/Engineer bot! They can now place barricade plans; once placed, a barricade may be constructed using the Welder Gun.

A new gun for Biomass Burger units! It has a slower reload, but it's more accurate and fires in three-round bursts.

Sticky grenades for the Dross Grenadier!

Fixes and changes:
-Improved the sights for the basic units from first-person POV.
-UI can now be toggled off entirely with F2.
-When hot swapping units, you can use the 1 and 2 keys to switch between unit types, and the 3 and 4 keys to switch between units within that type.
-Some additional minor UI and bug fixes, as well as lots of other minor changes!

If you encounter any issues, be sure to let us know on Discord or the Steam Discussions page!

We hope you enjoy the ride, and don't forget to buckle up!
