Heyyo, CraftedCircuitry again with another update to Deep Dark Wrath! This is a snippet of the v3.0 update(hence the jump from v2.2 to v2.9). So, this will feature some of the mechanics that would be added for v3.0. With this, I may be able to fully complete the v3.0 update in the near future. I also decided to remake the Safe Area’s music. It’s not the best, but I feel much much better with this compared to the previous Safe Area music so I hope you do give it a listen.
Furious Tasks
A very recent idea of mine as I was playing Monster Hunter Rise, and discovered its Special License Quests to more easily progress through the story. While on paper, the Oracle Piece rewards the Task gives makes progressing through the game easier, the Furious Tasks are orders of magnitude harder.
Furious Collector and Furious Plunderer forces the Wrath to be angered immediately while Furious Explorer forces you to not be in Point Protection. All 3 needing you to do various collecting and conquering to get the coveted Oracle Pieces as rewards.
You might also get something special once you’ve completed all 3. Who knows?
Firebrand Task and The Construct
An augmentation of the idea I had before the Adventurer may be allowed to use The Construct. This task will force you to go through the entire Dungeon finding Wandering Flames in order to open The Construct hidden in the Bewildering Ruins.
The Construct will then allow you to open up interesting choices for your build, allowing you to fuse Permanent, Instant, and Veil Cards into 1 powerful Enchanted Card.
Frosted Enchanted Cards
(not available in the Safe Area, the GIF is just showcasing what it does)
Products of fused Enchanted Cards, these are denoted by frosty icons on the Enchanted Card. They also give out the effect Frost Fortification, which seems to not have any effect on the Adventurer. Maybe the v3.0 Update might shed some light on this effect?
Armor Trims, Sword Skins, and BGM Updates
A new appearance option in the Options, these are placed on top of the Adventurer giving the Adventurer more options in how they look.
Of course, I’m gonna give a lot of options, and PC users can up their options with the included template to make your own!
- Leaf Suit (Spring and Autumn versions)
- Floral and Flower (Spring)
- Santa Hat (Winter)
- And more!
As always, coupling this update are new Sword Skins themed around Spring, plus a few more like the Violet Broadsword! As mentioned, the Background Music for the Safe Area was also remade with the update. It’s a little bit more than 4 chords looped now xD.
Snippets of the Future
I didn’t think I had the drive or time to do these updates, but here we are. v3.0 is essentially in sight. It’s still a long way to go though. Frosted Enchanted Cards are a bit more balanced for the content packed into v3.0, so I tried to make fusing of Frosted Cards a little bit more tedious (only 5-7 per Run) with this iteration.
I’m a bit happy with this so far, looking forward to getting more time to do more game development as it has been busier on my end.
That’s all for now. Looking forward to what kind of ideas you make for Card builds with the Frosted Cards, and what kind of designs you try with the Armor Trims, Sword Skins, and Plume Color. This has been CraftedCircuitry, signing off for now.
