This document presents a new design iteration for the Permanent Progression of Curse of the Dead Gods.
Weapons
At the very start of the game, some Weapons are unlocked to create the initial pool players will find in the Temple (loot and Sanctuaries). All other Weapons are to be unlocked and purchased using Crystal Skulls to add them to the pool and get a chance to loot them or buy them at Sanctuaries.
Weapons are sorted by Fighting Styles. Unlocking a Fighting Style brings 3 different Weapons of that category to the Pool. After that, single upgrades add an additional weapon of that category to the pool.
Starting equipment (Not lootable nor purchasable, always equipped at first)
- Torch
- [Main, Sword] Machete
- [Off-Hand, Range] Old Pistol
Every additional Weapon to upgrade has a specific condition to be first unlocked.
Work in progress ideas:
- First Death (for Weapons we want to unlock right after players' first try)
- Arena Master (clear a Weapon’s Room without taking damage)
- Curse Master (be relieved of the Final Curse)
- Etc.
’s Blessing (10 Levels):
- Unlock Conditions: Kill the Boss
- Each Level slightly increases the probability to Loot Rare/Very Rare Weapons in the Section
This is a mock-up, not the final version of the presentation of unlockable content.
Relics
As for Weapons, Relics are split between those unlocked at the start of the game, forming the initial pool of Relics to be found, and Locked Relics that will be added to the pool after upgrading.
Upgrades:
Similar to Weapons Upgrades, all Relics are listed, each locked ones have to be unlocked with one specific condition before it is available for upgrade.
