Delayed Pre-Alpha Build Still Coming


Our Pre-Alpha release date was not met due to a great amount of life circumstance, but progress is still being made. Pre-Alpha goals are being adjusted. We have even begun adding the Necromancer and Enchanter classes as part of the project reorganization process. Also an issue with V-sync was discovered, causing massive idle time latency spikes on Ryzen/W10 systems, independent of how many 1000s of mobs are on the screen at once. V-sync off (engine and system) seems to be the answer for now, running the game over 200fps to take full advantage of fast refresh rates without negative V-sync latency penalties.

See Alpha Push for updated project planning.

Release 10.23.20 Reagent Preview has been uploaded to the Playtest channel!


New features:

-Introducing the Reagent System! Collect item drops from mobs and explore different volatile combinations of reagents that create destructive magical explosions and effects.

Fixes:

-Mob movement has been tweaked.
-Power spec AoE increase has been reduced to stop it from breaking the game.
-SoW has been greatly boosted.

Other Additions:

-New less sonic mushroom pickup noises
-Various new splosion SFX
-Sonic speed up moved to SoW for now

Known Issues:

-Dual casting is possible and needs to be blocked
-SoW is stackable on itself, which is OP as fuck.
-Casting while charging is possible still which is also OP as fuck.
-Lizardmen are stacking excessively, giving AoE a huge advantage.
-Occasionally the UI disappears at launch of new game (restart program if happens)
-Super does not trigger anything yet because the ability has not been defined yet
-Pulse reagent combo (2tail/1shard) causes stacked audio imbalance, seems a bit weak

Other Notes:

The next version will focus on refining the spellcasting system.
