Hello, Alex 13 here. First of all - Happy Holidays! Most of the team (10 people already!) were on a holiday break. 2024 was a year of good progress, and 2025 is a year of release. We've spent time with our loved ones, and played lots of games :) Now we're ready to rock as much as possible. Before this, we've finished Sprint 30. Here's the changelog: [list] [*] Spell scaling for mobs [*] All AOE spells now deal friendly fire - ToP is a tactical game [*] Wands VFX [*] New mob spawn VFX for arena levels - ARPG-like portal [*] Improved visual and audial feedback of player characters taking damage [*] Swamp map - good progress, 80% done [*] New Arena map - wintery Marketplace [*] Loot tags for items [*] New post-process, a bit Borderlands-ish [*] Mobs can now properly cast AOE buff and debuff spells [*] Some spells now push enemies back for more fun and chaos [*] A few new spells [*] Started working on Statistics visible to players: how much damage dealt and taken, resources gathered and spent, kills and deaths and so on [*] Blood Magic spells now cost HP instead of Energy (mana) [*] Finally completed work on all skills - 68 of them [*] Proper location targeting for spells [*] Summon spells and skills that buff summons [*] Reduced amount of information in the Mob Info tooltip - keeping only the necessary information [*] Spawn chance for resource pickables [*] Descriptions for all classes [*] Descriptions for all affixes [*] Default spells for all classes [/list] [h1]Next 3-4 months[/h1] We'll be working on the Demo. It's time for us to stop implementing pieces of mechanics and content and start working on the playable product. That's our focus for the Demo - give you something playable and descriptive.
