First off. I have changed the Patreon payment plan to monthly. This should hopefully help users keep better track of their pledges, and let me make patron-only posts more often without having to worry about when I last charged people.

In some actual news. I've made pretty good progress on updating the HUD and server to accommodate challenge dungeons with up to 4 players!

What's done?

  • The HUD has been redesigned to work with up to 4 players.
  • New gestures: Shift+3&4 to target player 3 and 4
  • Targeting a player now sets a focus target. Holding C while casting will target your focus.
  • During challenge mode, you cannot change difficulty.
  • During challenge mode, you will break free after 90 seconds instead of 20. But coop players can break you free after 20.
  • Dying on challenge mode bosses will not let you break free until everyone has wiped, or the boss is dead.
  • Challenge mode quests will only advance for the owner, but the reward will be handed out to all players once the final boss dies. You will not have to hand the quest in manually.
  • Rewards for challenge dungeons are increased compared to story mode, and will scale with difficulty.
  • Challenge mode quests will be enabled once you complete MQ07, but you can invite players who haven't to join your party and they will still get the reward.
  • Challenge mode (official) will usually contain 2 cells. One with trash mobs and one with a boss.
  • The first cell of my test dungeon has been built and is awaiting scripting.

What's next?

  • Building and populating the rest of the first challenge dungeon.
  • The first boss will be a thong counterfeiting goblin. Ideas of boss mechanics are very welcome! Especially those involving player cooperation.
  • Setting up The Defenders of the Realm outpost. More info on this later.

As always leave your suggestions in the comments!

Here's a quick look at how a few things will differ in challenge dungeons vs story mode. https://patreon.com/jasx_games I want to add music credit here but I can't find who created it. Let me know if someone finds it!
