Hi everyone! There are still some features coming in 0.2.0 that we haven’t revealed yet. No time like the present, right? Let’s get right to it.
Brother to Castor, one of the Dioscuri, and a champion of Zeus - Pollux is the second boss coming to the game.
He's equipped with a sword, a beautifully ornamented shield, and solid armor that protects him from enemy attacks.
Pollux's godly heritage gives him a bit of an advantage in combat, as he possesses some powerful abilities:
- Opposite to Castor's defensive field, Pollux creates an area of sunlight so strong that it deals damage to Achilles, but barely weakens himself.
- Pollux can teleport to Achilles in a relentless attack. You might never see it coming, before it’s too late...
- Pollux can leap forward at Achilles from a great distance, extending his attack's reach and leaving significant wounds on target struck.
You can see a quick showcase of them below:
Remember those mysterious gates we showed in the last devlog? It’s time for a reveal - they actually lead to entire new locations! After you go through one of these passageways, you'll find a whole new dungeon to explore.
It won't be easy though - some of them are full of undead, others are filled with bandits; you might even have mythical creatures standing in your way!
At the end of each dungeon, there's a chest with rewards, and an exit portal, so you don't have to go all the way back where you came from.
Can you complete them all?
We’ve already shown you what in-game minimap’s current version looks like, but there’s also an entire fullscreen map for you to use! It’s the first iteration and it will certainly undergo changes down the road, but it’s already pretty useful right now.
You can scroll around the entire world map and either seek various points of interest like shrines and chests, or look for locations you haven’t visited yet. The map gradually reveals itself as you explore the world of Achilles: Legends Untold. Try to discover it all!
Our loading screens now contain tips for the game! They should make the short wait in between levels more enjoyable.
As always, optimization is only getting better with time. We’re making sure that the game runs as smoothly as ever.
We’re getting really close to the update’s release! Our hopes are up, and we think you’ll really enjoy the new content we have prepared.
Until next time!
Pollux & Castor are brothers, together known to the world as the Dioscuri. While their mother was Leda, they had separate fathers - Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine son of Zeus, who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. They were also both related to Helen of Troy, as she was their sister.
When Castor got fatally wounded, Zeus gave Pollux a choice - he could either spend all of his time on Mount Olympus, or give half of his immortality to his mortal brother. He opted for the latter, enabling the twins to alternate between Olympus and Hades.
The brothers became the two brightest stars in the constellation Gemini ("The Twins").
