Hello all!
This here is our last planned explanation devlog of this sort before we get onto character spotlights. This one won't be super duper long, so lets dive in.
Castle Glass
Castle Glass was once the seat of the living Saren Glass's power, but as with all things, time has brought it to ruin and, as with his living blood, Castle Glass has been reanimated with Saren's return to the living world.
Castle Glass works, on the surface, like most of the other levels - it's generated the same way, it's traps and enemies spawned the same way, etc. The difference between Castle Glass and the rest of them is that Castle Glass changes much more dramatically between each difficulty, and on top of that, it's appearance is always tied to your current difficulty level.
With each new difficulty, a new theme is planned for the level, each time pushing it closer and closer to the disjointed, howling madness of its once proud ruler.
Currently, the themes and added mechanics are planned out, with the Hard difficulty changes being completely fleshed out, but none of them have made it into the current build as of yet.
Saren Glass
As with his domain, Saren Glass changes vastly between difficulty levels. One could say that he is, in fact, four different boss fights. With each passing defeat, the singing storm that animates his corpse draws closer and closer to being unleashed upon the world. And, by the ultimate fight, he will be transformed beyond recognition.
Saren Glass's forms have almost all been added as of this writing. The only form that is incomplete is the ultimate form, which needs a bit of love before I feel comfortable releasing it to you all.
And that would be that. Not super long, but here we are. More devlogs will, of course, follow, but none are currently planned out like these were. I imagine that the following ones will primarily be about updates and the like. Unless something jumps out at me, or something really feels like I want to share it immediately, I will be posting character spotlights for the foreseeable future, starting with Whispering Willow next Sunday.
Until then,
Thank you all for reading,
Lucas
