Physical Rewards

Since the last newsletter, the turbulent state of things has not improved. While we want to avoid paying more than anticipated, we don’t want to delay things too much longer, but as always, we’ll update everyone as soon as we know the best path forward for finishing the tumblers.

Progress

Darkren AI

We’ve finally started integrating Darkren into the new combat system! For a small refresher Darkren are enemies that appeared in Mythren’s world Aomen long ago. These creatures are hostile, and you’ll run into quite a few different types while raising your bond with your Mythren. They are still being fleshed out, different ones will have different attacks, and gain new attacks as they become stronger, but here are some work in progress sneak peaks at two different darkren.

Wisper

Wisper is one of the most common darkren, known for their pack like behavior and loud screams. The scream is loud enough to stun any mythren, so be careful to avoid it!

Specter

Specter is a ranged type darkren that tries to stay away and deal damage from afar. Chase these ones down as quickly as possible, their projectiles are slow, but hard to ignore.

Hound

Another type is called “Hound” that hasn’t made it’s way in yet, but is in the pipeline! These will be the only 3 added in the next Combat Alpha patch!

Skeleton Patch

This was an internal goal of fleshing out the movement systems, creating a small level design, and some narrative writing within the single-player content. It showcased some things to be improved, but was a good test of the systems we’ve been working on put together.

While it’s too much of a work in progress for a releasable demo, we’ll be taking it to our local game dev events so some people can test and give feedback!

Mythren Progress

Scowl

Scowl is making progress, we’ve implemented a few parts of his moveset, but his main “rage” mechanism and most of his flames vfx are still being worked on.

Mystery Large Guy

I wonder who this is… either way, they’re making their way through the pipeline, hopefully to be released with Scowl!

General Updates

Steam Page

Our Steam Page is live! So please wishlist if you have not already!

Steam is showing Mythren as free, which it is not, we’re still working that out with steam! There is no download available though, so there's nothing to worry about there.
