Champions!
The seventh and final episode of AMID EVIL is nearly upon us.
You've already had your first look at The Void...
https://steamcommunity.com/games/673130/announcements/detail/1636405987619998841 But that's not all we've been working on as we come toward the finale of your journey...
You may have noticed we've recently started updating previous episodes of AMID EVIL
Episode 3: The Sacred Path just received a major overhaul that added several tweaks...
- NEW lore
- NEW enemies
- NEW gameplay elements
- and more...
We believe the increased enemy variety along with more situational use of your arsenal against them...
Makes for an overall stronger experience - something we're going to be bringing to other episodes as well!
One of the few complaints we've received during Early Access is that weapons don't feel situational enough in certain scenarios or against certain enemy types. And while that's not entirely true - we're going to be going back and updating the levels so that certain enemies and scenarios are definitely appropriate for distinct weapons.
You'll already notice that in Episode 3, explosive weapons now destroy rock enemies easily, the water staff douses fire enemies, the axe rips through plant life and the trident electrifies underwater enemies (because that all kind of makes sense!)
We'll be making these sort of changes to each episode so keep an eye out - and when in doubt - USE THE AXE OF THE BLACK LABYRINTH. (it's not just some weak default axe, okay?)
But I digress...
We've also been adding more story, lore and environmental storytelling to the game. And not JUST new voice overs, and not JUST new lore written on the walls...
The gateway will now change depending on what episode you've finished.
You may now notice the night stars will come out after defeating the Moon Guardian of Episode 1
Or it's now a foggy afternoon as you head toward Episode 3
Or it's become dark as midnight after defeating the Solar Saint of Episode 4
Or that something seems EVIL as you prepare to enter The Void...
What we're aiming to do with this is create a continuously engaging and varied experience throughout these seven distinct worlds as you're guided along by the Voice of the Ancients in order to defeat this cursed evil and save their lands...
Speaking of the voice of the Ancients: please give a virtual round of applause to our VA, Tamara Ryan - she's been incredible to work with and you should hire her to work on your projects, too! http://www.tamararyanvo.com/
