Weekly Blog Post 11/22/20 Ellinia Part 2 Development, Coupons, Mastery Skills, and More! (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all doing good as today we at BGE want to tell you all that Ellinia Part 2 has start development!

So far I've added 20 Quests that follow the cliffhanger that Part 1 left off on. Part 2 picks up immediately after Part 1 with the Resurrection of a certain character. What follows is the start of a new normal for the Hero and an addition to the growing homestead in Mushroom Town. There are big updates coming for this particular NPC so we hope you all enjoy the teasing and a very nice Sex Scene we're giving them in Part 2. 

Now this release was very important for us as for once it allowed a majority of players to jump in and play the game with numerous QOL improvements we're constantly adding every release. Part 1 allowed us to set our sights and give more to players to further make the story of King's Fall more fluid and more fun. Our QOL improvements are never ending so today I'm going to speak about 2 Major QOL improvements we're going to be adding in Part 2. 

The first is something we've wanted to do for awhile but due to fan outcry we now know how to do it. Many players have told us that the damage of Canes and Cannon's are sometimes not enough and that the build for either is far too demanding for you to get any use out of them by the time you leave Henesys. We sat down and now have 2 ways we're going to fix this in Part 2. 

The 1st is what I call Domain Trials. These Trials have been teased in the game but are now finally coming in. What these Trials do is allow you to take a Test/Challenge and be rewarded handsomely for it. There will be 2 Trials in Part 2 and both will  be giving you a Shiny new Cannon and a Shiny new Cane of Darkness. Not only will these increase your overall DPS but combined with the 2nd Improvement, you'll be seeing a drastic change to what you can do with the Cannon and Cane. 

The 2nd improvement are the inclusion of Mastery Skills for The Cannon and Cane. You will have access to these as soon as you complete the Arcs in Henesys with the first Skill, Cane Mastery being available as soon as you complete your Training with Asuna. 

To show you an example of how these Skills change how you fight with Skills, we took a screenshot.

As you can see we have completely tripled the amount of Skill Damage you can do with that weapons perspective Skill. Knight's Blast will finally have that OOMPH and along with the Cannon, the Cane Mastery will help double the damage you do with Whirlwind and Strike. Going forward we plan on giving you a bit more help in terms of changing our DPS so keep an eye out for future Blow Posts. 

Now lastly, the final thing we wanted to talk about today is the overall Game Progression. Many players have told us there are proven "Content Holes" and it's very much true. The openness of the game means there are large gaps in terms of rewards, Meso, and EXP gains. We're slowly building our way to fixing that and we have a few ideas already. As we gear up to finally shower older NPC's in the attention they deserve, we wanted to allow every single player additional ways to level up.

And this we have introduced Coupons to the game. These Coupons will be Available to every single player in the game! I plan on adding them to Hidden Spots, as addition rewards for harder quests, and of course for sale by Nave as expensive options. In terms of how these Coupons work they will allow you to double and triple, your Drop Rate, EXP, and Meso ON TOP of your Settings. Hopefully these will help players currently stuck in between major Quests. 

The cool thing is these are available to every single player BUT Patrons will get stronger versions ON RELEASE! Every Patron will be able to use a Tool we're building to gain more powerful versions of the Coupons. For example, the average EXP X2 Couple only lasts 1 minute. Patrons will get one that lasts 3 minutes. We feel this is a harmless addition that will benefit Patrons who support us and still able to help our many fans. This will be our first time doing this so please bare with us as we figure things out with the Coupons. 

Regardless we do have even more down the pipeline for Ellinia Part 2. Over the coming weeks we'll show off the many other QOL ideas the fanbase and Patrons have given us with this last release. On top of this we'll also be talking about what's coming in Part 2 Story Wise. Expect more twists, wholesome moments, sexy moments, epic battles, and further things for the player to do as we lift the barriers and  give everyone a larger world to explore and find things in. 

To our Patrons we thank you for your amazing support! Starting this week you'll see the first CG for Part 2 involving Asuna! Look for the Line Art on Wednesday and the Full Art on Sunday! Thank you for supporting us and we hope to give you more to show our thanks for keeping the dream alive!

To our fans, thank you for reporting bugs and giving us ideas. The game continues to grow and evolve and it's all thanks to you!

Join us next week as I talk about more QOL stuff as well as the Arcs in Ellinia Part 2! Take care everyone and stay healthy!
