Hi there Dwellers!
We are once again back with an update on how things are progressing in Early Access! Last time we spoke about new enemies we’re adding, this week we’re focusing on in-game events.
In the future, there will be two types of events you can encounter throughout the game. These will be story events and random events.
Let’s talk about story events first. Story events can be grouped into two categories;
- Main story
- Class background
During a successful completion, you will encounter at least one main story event. Here’s an example of what we have in the works:
Here we see Ingward putting out torches. We know that he was a doctor before the magical dome appeared. Ever since the people of Dolmin were forced to live underground, he has devoted his life to helping others and curing any sicknesses that may arise. His purpose in putting out torches in unknown, but we should give him the benefit of the doubt that whatever he is doing is for the greater good. Would you greet Ingward, or leave him be?
Class background events will trigger after a specific level of the area has been conquered. In these events we will get to know the lives of our selected class a little bit better.
Random events will be sprinkled all throughout the updated map. You will be able to choose when to visit a random event node on the map. They will present a handful of meaningful choices which can alter the course of your run. Choosing when to partake in the available events will certainly be a tactical decision. These events will include background on the world of Deepest Chamber, and those invested in lore will find plenty of clues tying loose ends regarding the history together, similarly to Trinket lore.
Additionally, we're deeply honored that Deepest Chamber is part of The Indie Cup on Steam, an event highlighting some of the best indie games around, and will be 10% off until October 11th! Haven’t picked it up yet, or want to recommend it to a friend? Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!
We’re grateful for all the support we received on our last update, and we love hearing from you, so make sure you join our Discord or reach out to us on Twitter, if you’ve got any feedback, questions, or suggestions.
Love,
Team Deepest Chamber
