Hey there friends, I'm Nakano15 and today I present you a new Guild Management Game Project update.
Here's a brief description of what's coming.
Gavea Sewer B2
It has came, the second floor of the sewer. Sadly, it only brings one new monster. One new, big monster, with a sledgehammer, ready to smash someone's face with it.
Those who are brave enough and can endure the pain caused by those new rat creatures will be well rewarded, depending on how good is your luck.
Do watch out, by the way, since the second floor has less lighting than the first. Watch out for red eyes in the dark.
A bit of Christmas Celebration
Some monsters in the fields of Gavea seems to be prepared for the Christmas season.
Defeating those monsters might give you a chance of getting a Santa Hat that you can give to your characters.
Don't worry, though. The drop rate of the santa hat is 1 in 10, so is a lot less rare than of any other head equipment in the game.
Sadly, that's the extent of how much I can add a christmas event to the game right now.
I have a lot of things to work on in the project (and also a little burnout to deal with), so I couldn't do something more celebrative for the season.
At least, there is at least something for the season.
Loot Rarities and their effects
This update allows you to see the rarity of the loot that drops from monsters you've killed.
The color of the loot name represents their rarity, and of course, the rarer the item is, the rarer it is to get, and the better it is compared to other rarity items.
Currently, the item rarities are as follow, from worst to best:
Junk
Normal
Uncommon
Rare
Legendary
The benefits given by rarer equipments will be a lot beter than the benefits given by items with lower rarity.
Currently, you can only find items of rarity up to Rare.
There are currently plenty of ways of getting Rare equipments, beside the game surelly needs more Uncommon gears.
Also, I removed the internal bonus status change rarities would nativelly give, so items will no longer gain or lose a percentage boost based on their rarity level.
That also means that our friend Headless Horseman is now easier.
What? You thought he wouldn't be wearing his own loot?
Discord Rich Presence
I added support to Discord Rich presence to the game.
The Discord Rich Presence will show on your status that not only you're playing the game, but also a brief description of what you're doing, while showcasing informations like guild level, and current leading character.
I added this actually just for fun, but you may actually disable that on the game settings. Just go into the Other tab and disable Discord Rich Presence from there.
The above image shows how it looks when someone checks your status.
Currently, it only shows elapsed time when you leave the guild hall, and goes to exploring, and the elapsed time disappears when you return to the guild.
It doesn't offers any function other than letting you brag at your friends, so it might be fun.
Some more new monsters
I also added new monsters to the game. One of them was actually spoiled before on my twitter.
That monster alone makes me imagine that the game age rating might go up to 16.
Why I say that? Well, I guess you'll find out soon.
Other than that zombie bunny monster and the giant rat monster, I added 3 more monsters, which can actually be found during your gameplay.
Bloodmoon Dangers
The Bloodmoon before the update was dangerous. This time, it's even more dangerous.
Undeads and Demoniac creatures will now begin appearing on the fields during the Bloodmoon, to increase the degree of danger it offers.
Whatever you do, don't die, and don't be gazed by the eyes.
I warned you.
By the way, the town is still pretty safe, for now.
I will have to fix that issue later, but one of the biggest issues about trying to do that, is the fact that the town is still work in progress.
Filling the town with things is actually complicated, because the increase in number of polygons will cause the game to get laggier inside town.
Anyways, I'll think of something.
Tougher Giant Acid Doggie
The Giant Acid Doggie was beaten so badly on the last video I did showcasing Collin and Rose in combat, that I had to take some measures to make it tougher.
Now that creature has innate defense against the infliction of debuffs, includding reduction confused of debuff time.
That doesn't mean that the monster is immune to debuffs, but actually mean you might need more than simply a skill to confuse the monster.
A number of skill and combat technique tweaks
From skills that were way too good (I'm looking at you Double Punch), to a better attack animation and sound (Now you seem to actually cause damage, Denis).
A good number of skills got tweaks to make the characters more interesting to play as.
And there's also a skill replacement. Collin's Rush skill has been replaced by Jump Kick, which does partially the same thing as Rush, but instead of passing through the target leaving your other group members in danger, it will make the character stop right in front of his target.
Of course, just like the Charge skill, Jump Kick has a close range version, so one slot isn't wasted when the target is close to your character.
Skunk Spray now also has a chance of causing bigger monsters to flee, if they're not stinky already.
And to finish...
The bug where you couldn't toggle between individual and group selection when there is group members defeated is GONE.

Download
Hello there new project page. Mind offering our players the download link of the new version?

What's next?
Well, I have a number of characters drafted into the game, includding some that might be involved in future quests. One of them is the Gavea Guards, which will have a male and female version, and of course, be present in Gavea, and also some fields.
One thing the game desperatedly need is more npcs, so I can make the world livelier.
I plan on making quite a number of the npcs in Gavea and fields being bunny humanoid characters, to make cohesion with the story about the war, that is being revealed as I add quests, and also how that is related to the arena master in Gavea.
That reminds me that I need to begin taking notes of my ideas of future quests, to avoid forgetting.
In south of Gavea Farmlands, I plan to add a new region, which is planned to be swarmed by undead monsters.
Hopefully I'll manage to develop that place with fields, and possibly lead to a new town you can visit.
Due to our new bunny zombie monster addition, I believe Hardcore Mode is now a possibility.
Before the update, the characters would only get incapacitated in combat.
After this update, they can end up dying depending on what happens to them.
That might be handy for hardcore guild modes, to make so you can actually lose guild members if you're not careful in combat.
I might try working on that any time in the future.
By the way, definitelly that if when the guild master is implemented in the game, and it ends up dying, it's instant game over, right?
There is a extra game mode that I still need to finish some time in the future too.
It will be accessible by the Gavea Arena. Once I get the game mode in a state that it's good to showcase it, or on the news of launch of an update bringing it, I'll talk more about.
The perfect plan results in the Arena Master being recruitable by it.
Final words
Thank you very much for showing your interest in the project, and to all people who offered me their feedback about it, even after playing or not the game.
I don't know if there might be an update before the holidays, but I will wish you all Happy Holidays just in advance, and have a nice end of year.
See ya next time. :3
