Supremacy: 1914 - Grayshine

Attention, General!

In this update we introduced a new Particle Effect system which will add more spectacular visual effects to the game. Now there’ll be smoke rising from revolting cities, ripples of explosions as artillery shells impact, and water jets straddling dueling warships. Directly observe the results of your actions on the battlefield, and marvel at the destruction!

We also fixed a bug in the Dominion gamemode that allowed spies to be placed in the player’s own provinces or in starting provinces. Attempting this now will produce an error message which can no longer be bypassed.

Finally, we made the Offerwall button more visible and distinct, so you will easily spot it if you want to earn free Goldmarks by watching our partner ads.

For a closer look at the changes please check out the detailed list of updates and share your feedback with us on the forums and our Discord server.

Best of luck General,
Your Bytro Team

Update v26!

RICE - Repetitive Indie Combat Experience™ - Purrgil 1

Update v26!

New Weapon: Lightning Staff
- Highly Unpredictable.
- Spams lightning.
- Only deals lucky damage.

Cards:
- Suppression: +4 Damage against the abyss. (Bronze)
- HPot: On Discard: Heal 1000HP, gain 1 Regen permanently. (Bronze)
- MPot: On Discard: Reset All Cooldowns. Gain 1% attack speed. (Bronze)
- Stacked: +2 Hand Size (Silver)

Additions:
- New Star battle against ‘Pulsar’.
- Uninitialised Name now causes the secret stage to be more likely.
- Snap now has an effect on the metaboard, allowing it to turn higher rarity cards into lower rarity.
- You can now adjust the maximum amount of enemies the game can spawn. (100-500)

Changes:
- The amount of enemies that spawn at the start of the stage depend on how many meta medals a player has now.
- Multi-Shot and Branching now have smaller sizes on the meta board.
- Planet rewards will stop auto collecting once you have full active weapon slots.
- Enemies now spawn in waves every 5 seconds, rather than spawning instantly after you kill an enemy.
- Slot effects of the pure lucky damage cards have been buffed so they spaz out a bit less.
- Clicking on a medal in the metaboard no longer instantly changes its position.
- Fixed a bunch of issues/bugs.

Dev Note:
A bit of an odd patch, no main theme, but some new things to play with, some bugfixes and QoL. During playtests ‘Stacked’ has been my favourite card by far, though it doesn’t allow using its bonus for rerolls so it doesn’t feel as strong as it would seem. MPot has more value than one would think as it resets the cooldowns of shield, heal pulse, etc. as well. I have considered changing how cooldowns work so even non-weapon cooldowns gain benefit from attack speed, but we’ll have to see. The new boss is fun as well, though might share the same problems as the previous boss, being too easy if you have high metaprogression unlocked

LORDS OF THE FALLEN - AN ALL-NEW 18 MINUTE EXTENDED GAMEPLAY PRESENTATION AWAITS

Lords Of The Fallen™ 2014 - CIG_Shikallum

Lords of the Fallen beckons with an all-new 18-minute Extended Gameplay Presentation. Witness exhilarating combat in vast sprawling lands, calamitous boss fights that call for the utmost of nerves, and the ever-looming threat that spills darkness into this world. Set your gaze below...

"The team at Hexworks is thrilled to finally share an extended gameplay presentation and reveal numerous new details of our dark fantasy action-RPG," said Saul Gascon, Head of Studio. "We have passionately carved our own path in this increasingly popular genre, and we are particularly excited to see how players will approach the game's unique dual-world mechanic when it releases this October."

Explore two, vast interconnected worlds

Mournstead stands ever parallel, luring all would-be adventurers who seek righteous glory. This vast and sprawling world of Lords of the Fallen beckons for exploration, from the ascending cliff face of Pilgrim’s Perch, to the ever-burning city of Calrath. As you venture into the rich world of Lords of the Fallen, you will uncover that each major environment is interconnected with at least two others, offering freedom to forge your own path, that aligns with your story. Be warned As the lamp-bearer, take great caution when you embark on your journey, for it will be perilous, fraught with unspeakable dangers, however, those who bargain with their life can uncover a realm teeming with untold treasures.

Master Fast, Challenging Combat

Fight, and survive the ravaging legions of Adyr, or crumble and succumb to the pits of despair, your legend will be defined by how you approach combat in Lords of the Fallen. Devastating standard attacks are not your only outlet for damage, to aid you on your quest to vanquish the darkness, seamless interweaving of melee, magic, and ranged abilities will become your greatest ally. Take advantage of the ability to map up to four additional magic or ranged skills to your controller, granting you immediate access to a vast array of combat options. This system not only enhances combat variety, enabling you to string together an almost endless number of combos, but it also accelerates the pace of battle, eliminating the need to constantly swap out abilities. With this arsenal at your fingertips, you stand ready to decimate all who stand before you.

Unite or Fight in Online Multiplayer

Devastation lies in wait for those who fail to challenge the horrors of this world, however, help is always at hand for humble warriors who set aside their pride. Channeling vestiges scattered throughout Mournstead, call for aid from either a friend or another soul willing to help. The world of Lords of the Fallen can be braved together, uninterrupted for the entirety of your journey, each warrior resting the experience and items uncovered.

Death & Umbral

Beyond the plane of the living, a tortured existence awaits in the parallel world of Umbral, entry to which can be achieved with the use of your Umbral Lamp, as well as through death unwillingly or sacrificial…Walking this dual path, you gain the ability to peer into the darkness, connecting both realms for your avail; uncover bridges in the Umbral realm that span across great chasms, or unveil previously hidden treasures that will aid you in your reckoning. However, in spite of that, heed great caution when entering this realm Lamp Bearer, for prolonged exposure corrupts your mind with ever-growing malevolent forces.
