New Wave-Defense Game Mode + Halloween Update!

Ancient Dungeon - Xyz

The Halloween + Arena Update Has Arrived!

Adventurers, it’s time to dive back into the dungeon this Halloween if you dare.

This is one of our biggest and spookiest updates yet, introducing the brand-new Arena Mode: a wave defense mode! Explore the revamped home base, complete with a Mirror to try on new cosmetics, a full Halloween makeover, and even a Photo Booth to capture your frightfully good looks.

We’ve also brewed up a cauldron of reworks, fixes, and treats in this massive update. So without further ado… grab your pumpkin lantern and dive into the sweet (and spooky) details below!

Arena Mode: New Game Wave-Defense Game Mode

This new game mode can be found next to our classic dungeon crawler mode at the home base. You can hop in with up to 3 other players with all the weapons you have unlocked. Face wave after wave of enemies in the toughest challenge Ancient Dungeon has ever seen. Shorter runs, higher stakes!

For most it will be unlocked, but if you haven't filled out your bestiary with at least 35 dungeons you'll see a progress bar at the area and it will be locked.

To unlock it simply hop into the dungeon and discover 35 monsters by going through each floor.

In this new game mode you'll start with just a few monsters spawning. Fight them off and survive the wave and be rewarded with a selection of relics to pick.

After you pick a relic the next wave starts, each wave spawns new relics for you to strengthen yourself and survive so pick carefully! With more players more relics spawn each wave and you're able to select more than 1 relic.

Occasionally you'll be forced to choose a shared curse! These curses range from waves spawning faster and more chaotic to taking more damage per hits.

After your selection the floor dynamically changes, this can mean raised platforms, the ceiling crashing down on you, the floor disappearing below you so you have to stay on your feet!

We've also added a ton of traps randomly appearing like this new fire trap besides your classic traps like spikes, darts and more!

Arena mode has 3 doors featuring shops, items, and other goodies for you to unlock. As you kill monsters keys will drop allowing you to unlock these hidden treasures. The doors in this game mode feature a new lock which display how many keys you'll need to unlock them.

LIV Implementation: In-Game Camera System

Take pictures and videos from all kinds of angles. Selfies, action shots, and cinematic clips are now just a tap away! Find the toggle for LIV in the MISC in-game settings to spawn the tablet!

Home Base Updates: Photo booth + Mirror

Find some new additions at the homebase, like a new Halloween themed photo booth to take selfies with your friends!

Find the mirror at the Homebase to change your look. From hats to hairstyles, colors, and all kinds of cosmetics. Unlock more by completing milestones and drip yourself out!

Other changes include:

Halloween makeover: An assortment of pumpkins (WITH ONE SECRET PUMPKIN SOMEWHERE)
A button?
Skeleton head on tree trunk for you to punch around (for good luck)

Mud and Blood: Moongrave update!!

Mud and Blood - urb Games

Good day folks, Urb here.

Hope you’re all doing great and gearing up for the holidays, candy, chaos, and all that good stuff. This one’s a small Halloween drop while I keep hammering away at the road to 1.0. I’ve got a few surprises cooking for classic players, especially around stats and ribbon tracking, but for now, enjoy some zombie mayhem in Classic and a fresh round of fixes.

Campaign AI’s been completely rewritten in the spirit of German doctrine, which means expect smarter moves and plenty of undeserved violence. A few sounds got beefed up, trench mode got its act together, and I’ve started experimenting with shaders, still early days, but the fire’s looking spicy.

As always, thanks for sticking around. Here's what we got in this quick drop:

Added a fail safe for the German weapons directive faulting the game at times
Resetting your campaign will no longer reset combat jumps in Classic
Removed rock spawns around bridges
Fixed an issue where sound volume wasn’t adjusting with distance when Radar stations were destroyed
Randomized samplings for longer abstract voice lines (like bleeding screams) to make them more procedural
Couple of fixes in Map generation to avoid some clipping especially with house.
Fixed a bug in Trench mode where scouts wouldn’t move or engage due to long-range detection
Selecting a soldier in the squad menu now plays a feedback sound
Moongrave (Halloween) ribbon added
Beefed up AAA sounds (like the Bofors) a bit
Completely rewrote enemy AI in Campaign, inspired by German infantry doctrine with subgroup mutators (SS are aggressive, Luftwaffe more defensive and such) they also take cover behind trees when reloading and such. Overall very fun fights.
Changed the manual turret sound
Started experimenting with shaders, beginning with fire and muzzle flashes
Land Mattresses and Bofors now use historical call signs thanks to LThunter for the lore digging
Programmed updates and special events to turn on and off automatically
Johnson LMG ultra rare lootable rifle
Fixed the Discipline ribbon in classic
Fixed a couple of crashes reported on our discord. Thanks for taking the time to post them, keep them coming and I'll patch as they come.
Changed the menu UI images for historical pictures

So yea, a little shadow patch drop this time, but we can all have some fun with the zombies and the Halloween ribbon until the 5th of November. The next event will be Remembrance Day — you’ll need to hit wave 100 in the special event to earn the Remembrance ribbon, which carries the same effect as in MnB2 for the old vets out there.

Here's some community highlights:

Excellent Bridge too far action from Mud and Blood master (and stil the only one), MeeM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIuwjrLXn3AOur home boy, Mentally, with some good tactics, good stuff to watch if you want to learn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qIeMDympA4Potentially our next Master Skalar with one of his rare moment where he struggles. Mind you folks, he is playing master mode which for most of us, non cyborg individuals, is impossible (NG +++++) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Hjj7kneu8One of my personal fav, MT with some good ol' sluggin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQNwKomSdicLance Getting pretty good at this, Hurtgen is not easy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7stiA3r0KgSome good Vire action from one of our new members:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFgl2tu0UM
and to top it off the Definitive URB community iceberg, by Cheekistrelok

Welp that is it for me now folks, i'll get back to work on the rest of that patch now. I’m really grateful for all the feedback, the pretty cool community of flamboyant savages that you are all are. Be safe out there, and I’ll see you soon with the 1.0 drop.

Respectfully,
