Thank you to everyone who participated in the first Godslayer Arena playtest! Your feedback has been incredibly helpful and I'm doing what I can to find the time to read through it all.
If you missed the playtest don't worry as there will be a public demo launching as part of the Yogscast Tiny Teams festival on August 8th.
This demo will primarily focus on bug fixes, audio tuning, and balance adjustments. However, there will be one new experimental system that I'd like to test out called the Resonance system. In short, this is a system that offers you a choice of randomly selected rewards as you progress through a run. If you don't like any of the rewards presented to you, you can choose to skip the rewards and be offered even stronger rewards the next time they're offered.
Some of the rewards you can find include:
- The ability to imbue gems with additional effects.
- The ability to duplicate spells.
- Increases to various stats.
- Incrementing trait counts, allowing you to hit higher trait breakpoints.
- Imbuing gems to allow spells to count as certain traits.
- Gaining additional lives.
- Gaining additional experience and shop refreshes.
I may be asking for some help testing this system before the demo launches. If it sounds like something you're interested in make sure to join the discord here: https://discord.gg/QMnqCqURSt
Thank you once again for the help with testing and I'm excited to hear back from you all once the demo launches!
