Hey everyone!

Welcome to another dev log for Alchemic Beasts! Lately, I've been working on a system that personifies(?) the beasts that you capture. All of the beasts have a personality and come with some traits that make them who they are. They can interact with other beasts and with you! Any time a social event happens it will be displayed in the beast's life log as well as in the menu as their latest social event.

When they interact with other beasts in your party, they may form a bond making it more likely that they breed into something with much better stats and give a better outcome for variants and transmutations if they are compatible for that type of thing. Otherwise they just become friends or enemies.


(Not actual player options, also don't mind all the test stuff! This is my testing room)

These interactions don't happen on the map, as cool as that would be, but they happen in text. The system is in its very early stages, but it is mostly working. Whenever a beast interaction happens, you can choose to acknowledge it which interrupts gameplay or ignore it and continue playing because it ain't your business.

If you acknowledge it, you'll be given some options to affect the beasts even further, like if their feelings got hurt, you can comfort them, or if they were being a jerk, you can discourage them from doing that behavior.

Depending on the beast's personality, you might further upset them or they can have a specific reaction to your meddling. This will be displayed as icons next to the option (current placeholder is a green eyed crazy face). You can only choose one reaction of the bunch, so you'd want to choose carefully.

This is a system I've been dying to put into the game since we started. It gives it such a digimon/tamagotchi feel and I feel like it helps you become attached to the beasts to see their whole journey from capture/birth to death in their life log.

Say the kringle in this scenario pictured above is your best beast. He's been loyal the whole time, has some strong moves and great stats, and he's welcoming to all the other beasts that may join the team. Then this happens and you have jerkface Hookwinger laughing at his misfortune.

Would you high five Hookwinger and commend that behavior or would you join Hookwingal, and offer him encouragement. Tell him he'll get it next time? The choice is yours... And the choice will affect his growth in some way, shape, or form!

It has been so fun making this system and seeing the beasts interact with each other... well not actually SEEING it, but picturing it in my mind.


You get some really funny interactions sometimes, but it can also be because the system is being janky, haha. Those are the things that I need to iron out.

We hope you like it so far!

Hey Dungeoneers, v3.1 is ready for beta, just in time to meet the estimate I gave (for once)!

In this blog post I'm going to go over what's coming in v3.1! This update has a a mini Warrior rework, some new rooms in the dungeon, and an assortment of miscellaneous changes and additions.

---

As a quick recap, the Warrior currently has an ability that gives him one passive shielding every 30 turns, which is effectively +33% health regen that works even when hungry. This power is hard to notice and impossible to interact with, but also easy to use and very impactful over the course of a run. This results in the Warrior feeling a lot weaker than he actually is, and I'd like to make the seal's power easier to notice and interact with without making it outright stronger or harder for new players to use.

Here's how that's happening: When the Warrior is about to take damage that would reduce him to 50% health or lower, he will now instantly gain a shield that scales with his armor's tier, with a cooldown of 100 turns. This up-front shield boost is way easier to notice compared to a passive shield that just takes 1 or 2 off most attacks. To start out you'll get 5 shield, and this can go as high as 15 with T5 armor and the iron will talent. Here's how that looks in action:



This means that in theory the Warrior is going from 30 turns per shield to 20 at the start, going as low as 6. That's a huge buff on paper, but it also assumes that the player is constantly fighting at 50% HP or lower. This creates a nice little point of interaction for experienced players, who'll want to try and maximize shield uptime. Newer players don't have to do anything in particular to just use the ability though, as it still triggers automatically whenever the Warrior needs it.

Other Warrior mechanics are getting smaller changes to compensate for this. Several talents are getting shuffled around a bit, and the Berserkser subclass is getting its own separate shield buff instead of piggybacking on the seal's shielding buff. The Berserker's shield still scales with armor level as well, so players who want to dump their upgrades into armor will still have a mechanic that scales with that.

(Note that the new visuals shown here are placeholders and will be improved)

v3.1 is going to include a new terrain type in each region and some standard room changes to make use of them! I ended up getting a little carried away with this, and in the end each region is getting a new room type, changes/expansions to some existing rooms, and two new entrance/exit variants!

Firstly, here are some of the entirely new rooms that take advantage of the new terrain:



Next, here are some existing rooms that have been changed around a bit to include new terrain types:



Finally, here are some of the new entrance/exit variants. Some are similar to old ones, but I’ve added a few new ones focused on enclosed starting spaces.



Overall I ended up taking longer making these changes than I initially expected (at first it was just going to be the new terrain), but I'm pretty happy with the result. In particular, with these additions the typical empty rooms that were near universal a few years ago are now entirely gone!

---

The Warrior changes and levelgen expansion are the biggest parts of v3.1, but there's a nice assortment of smaller things too:

v3.1 includes one new item: the Ferret Tuft! The tuft is a simpler evasion-boosting trinket with more of a cute aesthetic. It boosts evasion for you and for enemies, but there are lots of ways to counter enemy evasion, so use wands or go for those surprise attacks! The tuft is a little reference to a favorite ferret.
