WARLOCKED UPDATE 0.29


This update really helps to finish up the groundwork for the rest of the game. Major features include the groundwork for dialogue and the story of the game, along with major changes to runes and spell crafting.

MAJOR CHANGES:

  • Brand new intro and storyline for the game!
  • New tutorial taught by a cute cat, with other new friends to meet as you play!
  • New rune proficiency system, where you get better with a rune the more you use it
  • Runes are now saved within your spell, and can be swapped at any time

MINOR CHANGES:

  • Locked a lot of game mechanics behind a tutorial / flag system so that content is slowly introduced
  • Changed the way spell "leveling" works. You may now place up to 3 runes on a spell before you must strengthen it
  • Casting spells using Aether now works completely differently and can have a massive range of effects on your spell. Should be fun!
  • Brand new knockback system and accompanying knockback rune, if you wanna send your enemies flying
  • Overhauled the decoration system, rooms should feel much more realistic now rather than haphazard props strewn everywhere
  • Removed crystal ball and revamped clone tank upgrade UI 
  • Player can now (properly) consume a plane tear rather than use it to send items through for bonus aether
  • Reduced starting aether from 50 -> 10
  • Reduced starting mana from 20 -> 10
  • increased starting spell cooldown from 0.8s -> 1s
  • Decreased starting spell damage from 10 -> 8
  • Added a lot of new props / decorations

  • Updated a lot of colors for wood to be consistent
  • Fixed some graphical layering issues

  • Fire particles are now brighter
  • Clone tank now closes after player clone gets out of it (gotta start growing the next one !)
  • Redid a lot of assets colors for consistency purposes
  • Fixed a bug that would let you stockpile even if you dont have enough aether
  • Reduced defense for heavy melee enemy from 3 -> 1
  • Removed defense for heavy ranged and light melee enemies
