Poisons

Today I was working on Poisons and how effective they should be. As in, how potent is too potent. How long should they last? Should they be easily curable?
Some poisons will only last a few rounds, while more potent poisons will last until cured or death. The amount of damage will change with the potency of the poisons as well as other effects that may take place.
Someone who takes the “Toxins” skill set will not only be able to learn different types of poisons but will also learn how to protect themselves from being infected to an extent.
What do you think? I think that poisons should play a much larger roll in video games, and in ours, they will.
PS: Bosses WILL be effected by poisons to their regular extent, within reasons of course.

New Skills On The Horizon

Currently I am working on creating all the tiers of skill needed for the leveling system. I would say that the skills are probably 30% done overall. Currently, I'm working on the magic skills specifically. I just created some different Stone spells; spells meant to trap an enemy in stone. Unlike other games though, the more you use this skill, the more effective it becomes. The stone skill lasts longer, and actually does physical damage at its peak level.

The same will happen for skills such as sleep, poison, paralyze, slow and so on. I plan on making the third(final) tier for all the skills to have some hybrid abilities. An example of this would be a skill such as paralyze effecting an enemy to the extreme that they can break the spell maybe but one of their limbs might be permanently effected.

Talk again soon,

Title Roll

Well the title roll is done. Maybe a touch up here or there, but for the most part, I am happy with it. Check it out and let me know what you think.

The Writings of Bangnook

Occasionally, I will write specific pieces of the legend here. Please note that some of this information you may find in the game, some of it you will have to ready here. Enjoy!

“The Book of Ra is said to have been written by Cerebus before The Santo War. Cerebus poured his hatred into the pages of that book. It has been rumoured that a simple sighting of the book can taint a beings essence, changing them forever. Cerebus had that power. Had, being the real word there. Nothing was the same after Quotar came here. He rose too quickly in the ranks; most of us hated him without cause when he was first banished here. There was something about him though. Something – unnerving. He had eyes that would peer into your soul, sharp and harsh like ice pellets crashing through you in the Necem blizzards.

His might was only challenged by his own torment. No one knows why he was sent here, but we do know that he would never return to The Black Sun of Neiacan. Apparently he was a prisoner there for many years. He escaped only to find himself at the beck-and-call of Cerebus; hand picked to do the dirty work.

Tonight, tonight we have been summoned together by Quotar to rise against our master. I fear what will happen when either wins though. We are the many, but we are the weak. What is our fate if we lose? Surely they would have no difficulty replacing minions such as myself.

Perhaps I will retreat to my shadow; maybe neither will notice I’m not there. I’m sure some of the lesser demons will miss me, but if it’s their soul or mine to be destroyed, well, I’d hate to see my evil go to waste.”
