I am excited to announce the latest update to Metamancer. This update makes major updates to the game and fixes some of the pesky resolution issues. The game now has storylines that can be given to the player by NPCs. The storylines are comprised of four quests that are picked randomly from pools based on four categories: introduction, escalation, climax and resolution. The new quests include boss fights, defend objectives and escort missions.
There are over 75 new entities including world tiles for four new biomes, enemies, bosses, quest items, quest contacts, defense objectives and more. There are also 15 new character types that have been added to the character creator screen.
A Bioadaptive Commune boss attacking the player.
We have also added a new piercing shot skill and three crowd control buffs: knockback, stun and slow. The skill and buffs work with all the other skills.
