We are nearing time for the reworked demo to be done, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with everyone! I'm hoping to release it by the end of January!
Before I tell you about some of the new features, I wanted to tell you that Daniel put together a teaser trailer for the new demo you can check out at TeleCollision's new steam page! I needed to be able to upload it as a demo instead of an application, and I had made a mistake and uploaded the Your Adventure demo as an application before. It was my first time uploading to steam, and mistakes were made, so TeleCollision has a new home on steam where you can get game updates.
Let's talk about what I've reworked, in a lot of ways it's an entirely new game now! I took community feedback, and expanded on some ideas that I didn't commit to enough in the original and have been having a blast making this new demo! I know some of this I've already talked about in previous updates, but I'm going to reiterate some of it now.
The player character's starting classes now have different stats, different equipment, and change starting rewards when you start the game.
Way more trading cards, 20+ to collect and use! Christy will still provide trading cards for you, but only to enhance a new system of card collection and equipping. Cards can change your build with new skills, buffs, and stat changes, and have flavor text that shows a different slice of the world you wouldn't normally find during your exploration.
Bosses have been changed to feel like the epic encounters that they should be, and the starting levels have been changed to have their own unique flavor and story! Instead of having a group of adventurers join you all at once, they now get added at a reasonable pace through your adventure.
One of the biggest upgrades is the character creator, I spent so much time working on this, and I plan to continue expand it for the eventual full game release. I want you to feel like you're making something entirely unique when you play TeleCollision, and brain worms will make me continue to expand it. Not only are there more options, more accessories, there is also a color picker so you can adjust colors to your liking!
While I work on finishing this demo, please go enjoy the teaser trailer! Daniel has remade all the music from the original demo and many of the sound effects, along with the trailer itself and I couldn't be more thrilled about the amazing work he's done! The game's theme in the trailer continues to get stuck in my head, and I really hope y'all enjoy it!
