Howdy folks!
Hope your week's been wonderful & that you've got a ton of fun stuff planned for the wee
k-end! Here's what we've been working on lately, at Sauropod Studio;
[ Newsletter Gift ]
https://www.miradorgame.com/newsletter
Right now, if you sign up to the Mirador newsletter, we'll e-mail you keys to unlock some free goodies when the game launches! Notably, the Flanged Helmet and the Aperture Glyph. You'll unlock the diagrams for those two items, meaning you'll be able to craft as many as you want and equip them on as many of your Sentinels as you want. We won't spam you either, promise. <3
[ The Blocking Mechanic ]
Sometimes, dodging a spell will be too tricky, or even impossible! In those situations, your trusty shield will be your best friend. The way the mechanic works is that you'll have a certain number of "charges" on your shield. Blocking certain spells or attacks will cost more or less charges, depending on the attack itself. For example, Spear's Flight, pictures in the video below, will only consume one charge per spear, but a larger, heftier attack like a Battleaxe blow will likely consume all the charges!
When you run out of charges, you won't take damage, but you'll be stunned for a short moment and won't be able to block anymore until all your charges refill completely!
[ The Windblown Steppes ]
The Windblown Steppes, a vast grassland peppered with ponds is one of the various locations you'll encounter in Mirador! We're trying really hard to make each location as unique and varied as possible to provide you with awesome settings for you to discover and face-off against other players' Sentinels!
[ Sentinel Weapons ]
We've already shown you the Greatsword, the Mace and the Blaster, but we've been working on more variety of weapons to equip your Sentinels with! Here's what the basic strike for the Battleaxe could look like;
[ Sentinel Frames ]
So far, we've only had the opportunity to show you the Knight frame, but in the future, we have ideas for a bunch of other different Sentinel frames. Here's a little sneak peek at some concept art of what they could look like!
[ Awesome Spells ]
We want your Sentinels to feel powerful and frightening, so the spells they use should reflect that awesomeness. Here's Seeker Bolt, one of the several spells you'll be able to find in Mirador, craft and equip to your Sentinels! The one you see in the GIF is an upgraded version of the spell because, yes, you'll be able to upgrade almost all non-cosmetic items into stronger versions!
[ Discord ]
We have a very active & very official Discord server for Mirador - lots of devs hang out there and everyone's really friendly and excited about Mirador and you should toooootally join us! :D

Until next time,
