Hello everyone!
We are excited for you to try out Dungeon Survivor in Early Access in less than 2 weeks! Leading up to our Early Access release, we have been able to get a few stats and achievements added into the game. We have more achievements to add during early access, so keep an eye out for that.
In addition to adding a few achievements, we have also added the first pass of 'scoring' for Leaderboards. Here is what that looks like right now:
- Completing a level will award (100 * level) points. (Ex: if you completed level 4, you would get 400 points). This caps at 1000 points and drops to 500 per bonus level completed
- Slaying monsters awards 25-50 points depending on the enemy
- Opening a chest will award 100 points
- Cooking and eating a meal will award 25 points
- Points are DOUBLED in HARDCORE MODE
We will continue to assess how scoring and leaderboards work, and make tweaks leading up to final release as needed. Currently there is only a highscore leaderboard, but there may be a 'hardcore floors completed' leaderboard in the future.
What's next?!
- A few more achievements to add (in progress)
- Scoring and Leaderboard visibility within the game (next)
- Improvements to Enemy Behavior
- Missing SFX: Not everything that should have a sound effect has one, these will be added soon
- Missing Controller glyphs: We only show 'xbox controller glyphs' at the moment. Soon we will detect the controller type and show the correct glyph for you
- Improvements to lighting and level decoration (most levels are done; some still are in progress for 'decoration')
- Improvements to bonus level system; These generated levels are playable, but not yet 'complete'
Known issues
- We are aware of a performance issue causing a small stutter every now and then. We will start investigating this as soon as we wrap up current ongoing work. Expect updates in regard to this issue at some point during early access
- A few maps have walls missing collision layers which allows the player and enemies to leave expected play areas
- Enemies will sometimes ignore the player
