Raiders & Beasts!
It’s been a busy month for our team, and today we are ready to share our latest update with you all!
Don’t forget to wishlist Beast Hour on Steam!
MAP
The previously empty temple and desolate catacombs beneath the city, as well as many other places around it, have started to change. The decoration is far from being finished, but it’s clear that Beast Hour is becoming better each day.
RIFT
Rifts are one of the sources to get Arkana (=EXP). Playing as Raider, you will have to find them, then capture and hold for some time. While you possess a Rift, you’ll get Arkana and healing every second. As the opened Rift creates a huge beam of light into the sky, other players will intervene: Raiders will try to take the Rift away from you, and Beasts will do their best to shut it down. But no Rift is infinite – once the Arkana deposits have been pumped out, there will appear a huge Drop of Arkana, which you will have to pick up manually.
Recently, we started adding new visuals and animations for Rifts capturing. It’s still a work-in-progress, but we are so excited with what has been done so far that we decided to give you a sneak peek.
NEW BEAST
We love Werewolves – that's one of the reasons, why we started developing Beast Hour. But almost right after we made our first playable demo, we realized that Beast Hour can be so much more. That’s why new a Beast is in the work!
Although this monster won't be available at Alpha, let us know what you think!
ROPE
Rope is one of our escape-mechanics we plan to add during the Alpha-testing.
Raiders can use ropes to get on the roof of the building very quickly – it especially comes in handy when you try to get away from Beasts or want to collect that shiny Arkana way up above you.
You can find out more about another escape-mechanic, “cracked wall”, in our previous newsletter.
IN ADDITION
Server-related work is almost ready. Alpha-testing is coming soon. You can read more about our preparations here.
As always, we stream the game and answer your questions every month – you can watch the latest video on our YouTube channel. Join our next stream in the middle of April!
