Today, we're delving into the secrets of the Cult with an exclusive interview featuring Grimson, the elusive Twilight Elf who broke free from their grasp... at least for the most part.
I knew I would find him on the Dark Amy camp, but I couldn't have known how grim his lair would be. Adorned with half-chewed bones of countless animals, it exuded an aura more fitting for a beast than an elf. A cloaked figure emerged from the shadows to greet me:
Grimson: "THE SHEEP SEEKS ANSWERS."
A skin-tearing noise echoed loudly, as a purple, one-eyed creature emerged from Grimson's back, as if in the most grotesque of horror movies.
The Entity: "BE QUICK ABOUT IT, OR BE A SNACK."
I dashed through my notes, dreading the thought of joining the scattered bones.
Sheepy: "How did you become entangled with the cult?"
Grimson: "I WAS A WARRIOR, DISPATCHED BY THE TWILIGHT ELF COUNCIL ON A RECON MISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE ESCALATING CULT ACTIVITY IN OUR TERRITORY. YET I FELL INTO THEIR TRAP. THEY LOCKED ME IN THEIR DARK DUNGEONS... AND WORSE. "
Sheepy: "Is that how you acquired your abilities?"
Grimson: "I WAS FORCED TO PARTICIPATE IN A DARK RITUAL, A TWISTED CEREMONY DESIGNED TO TRANSFORM ME INTO AN ABOMINATION. THE PAIN WAS INDESCRIBABLE, AND CORPSES OF THOSE WHO DID NOT SURVIVE LITTERED THE FLOOR AROUND ME. BUT I MANAGED TO RESIST BEING CONSUMED BY THE MONSTROUS ENTITY."
Grimson shared how, with the Overseer entity now a part of him, he gained the power to shapeshift and flee his imprisonment, at a dire cost. This newfound ability came with a price that would forever alter his existence.
Sheepy: "If you're two beings inside one body... who of you is in charge?"
Grimson: "IT TOOK US TIME, BUT WE MADE OUR PEACE. WE WORK TOGETHER NOW. I MOSTLY MANAGE TO RETAIN CONTROL. BUT WHEN I’M IN EXTREME DANGER, IT SEEMS TO TAKE OVER AS A BASE INSTINCT FOR SURVIVAL."
Sheepy: “What makes you fight for the Alliance?”
Grimson: "I MUST DISMANTLE THE CULT. THE ATROCITIES THEY HAVE COMMITED ARE BEYOND COMPREHENSION. WITH MY FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE OVERSEER, AND MY SISTER'S SECRETS OF THE VOID, WE SHALL TEAR THEM DOWN."
The Entity: "DON'T ACT LIKE THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US. FIGHTING ALSO MEANS A FEAST OF FLESH! EYES! LUNGS! TASTY TREATS!!
As I took my final leave from Grimson, I could not help but feel a profound sense of respect for the indomitable spirit that resided within them, a testament to the enduring power of the human (or in this case, elven) will.
It is an undoubtable advantage to have a piece of the Overseer himself fighting in our side to stop him. A wonderful ally, yes. Yet... I'll keep well away from his den!
This patch introduces a host of QoL updates and WORLD LEADERBOARDS. You will now be able to see where you rank amongst other players for any game type and team size! Whenever you save a new highscore, your highest score will always be saved to the leaderboards to see where your best rank is at.
thank you for your words of support after last week's announcement that our Early Access journey is coming to end. Your encouragement means a lot to us - as it has throughout the whole development phase up to now.
The game wouldn't have been able without you. Your feedback helped us make the game what it is today,
And of course, we will take care of Harvest Days and Duda's Village after the release as well.
But there are still some things we need to do. We are hard at work preparing the update that will bring Harvest Days to '1.0' and will share the changes and additions with you very soon. Of course, they will also be included in the console versions launching on July 25 as well.
Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people had to stay at home in isolation due to COVID-19, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week, just for fun-with different crazy levels and (alas!) no prizes. We think it is clear by now this extra LPT is a permanent addition too :)
The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun! Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.
We have been crawling in the Steam Discussion Boards and Discord, and back at you with another quick patch.
We are overwhelmed with the amazing reception by far. We also heard your feedback about the game being hard. We are slowly taking steps on balancing the curve by watching the stats data we have.
Balance of the Game
My current goal on balancing is to send out minor nerfs to monsters and buffs to items DAILY till we find a good balance that makes everyone happy for the normal difficulty. On this update some Tier3-Tier4 monsters got nerfed and we balanced the pricing of rare items and how frequently they show up in the shop. This should feel easier for the "normal" difficulty.
Hard difficulty will be there for extreme players.
For Easy mode, if you read the previous patch notes we said that we made the easy mode easier. This time, we made the easy mode even easier with this update.
Bug Fixes
We have some bug fixes for you;
- Do not lock skill slots for Jack & Gambler during boss & miniboss fights - Localize roll button text when using item effect of Dice Charm as well - Update item image for Goblin's Eye - Fix undo button damage calculation when Knight's skill is used - Update "Recent Trinkets" empty slot visuals - Fix recurring trinkets in the victory panel - Add exceptions for displaying shield & dismantle dice tutorials - Check if droppedTrinkets is null - Disable scrollview for dropped trinkets - Do not lock skill slots for Jack & Gambler if the last folded enemy is a Slimi, Scarecrow or Demon - catch save issue and open game scene - Disable shining effect for skill icon when Jack & Gambler's skill slots are locked - All notation of "dice" or "die" or "dices" is now "dice" we will use dice for both singular and plural form of the word.
Thank you
Our team is excited to show you what we have in the store, thank you for the patience and continued support!
