The "Randomized Demo Quest" is live! Beat the demo to unlock it! If you've already beaten the demo, it'll automatically be unlocked.
The randomized demo quest is a great way to get a taste of the "ever-evolving randomizer" featured in Splintered. It's a fun, fresh, and challenging take on the demo quest and even includes a few spells/items/enemy abilities not seen in the base demo. I won't spoil the experience for you, but I've outlined the randomizations used below. Also note, v1.10 includes a few updates that apply to the base demo as well (also outlined below). If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it! It will help me make both the demo (and full release) the best they can be.
Current Randomizations (v1.10):
- Overworld
- Chests/Secret Tiles
- Equipment Shops
- Enemy Locations
- Enemy Spells, Abilities, and Traits
- Player Spells
- Player Stat Progression
Demo-wide changes (v1.10):
- You can now throw torches at enemies in combat! They deal a bit less damage than Magic Bolt, and they don't scale with magic damage, but are a means of consistent early damage at the cost of gold.
- You're now informed of gold lost on death (default half).
- Equip Menu and Equipment Shop Menu now display a "Locked Icon" on abilities to clarify which abilities are locked/unlocked.
- Fixed a bug around single-step protection falling off before its effect occurs. When a battle has concluded, you get 1 free step before getting into another random encounter.
I hope you enjoy the Randomized Quest and the new features! Stay tuned for various updates throughout the week. And thanks for playing!
