Talented

Slay waves of spooky enemies for 20 nights to survive 'The Demonic Conveyor Belt'. Talented is an arcade roguelite with randomly generated skill trees. Choose your upgrades and abilities wisely and you might just make it out alive. Are you truly Talented?

Hello Talented Gamers! This time I'm writing to you from a beach, but just because I'm on holiday doesn't mean there isn't a ton of new goodies to reveal! [b]Scythes and Flies[/b] As promised here's a sneak peak at two of our new Talent Packages for Warrior and Summoner. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/209c3b5da2ee64f4ea6a086ec21c98da78238521.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/50b39ec6acfe43392c6a640e209e7e90bff1d5fb.png[/img] [b]Warrior [/b]will be enhancing their Fear status effect with the [i]Horror[/i] Package. Worried about getting too many ways to Fear the same enemy? You shouldn't be with this payoff! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/e7c6ed8b102ac825b7323af8012c5028ae510ffd.png[/img] [b]Summoner[/b], on the other hand, will be upgrading their Flies with the [i]Rotten[/i] Package. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/f50f8157efe7bcc6a40187bde1b070d621061bf2.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/b4ff1bf7700808f7326e8cdc074a01163d30c33d.png[/img] ...and this Package will give you access to more Flies than you could ever need with the Polluted Contract Ability [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/34ba2be18d251fb611aee34a2a3cf413c9a98f88.png[/img] [b]Risks and Rewards[/b] A suit of new Challenges are in the works, with some additions we're very excited to share! As with our previous round, some challenges will offer you a more classic Talented experience with a few additional rules and some will be a completely unique way to play. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/690968bbec4e4bc4470d95b5afa08e530101ddf1.png[/img] We're going back in Talented time with this Challenge - before Abilities there was just you, your weapon and tons of enemies to pop. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/59959e1d19887d85f30068cfac6b0c1f2a5a6624.png[/img] Can you really beat a run on Warrior while spamming WASD? Time to find out... And of course you'll be rewarded for your efforts with one of my personal favourite skins yet! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/e0d3d5300b83cf715e52c354aeb42daf438c60c5.png[/img] And last but not least we have on of our most ambitious Challenges. Inspired by Deck Building Card games you can now play a completely different version of Alchemist. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/61c227aca68ad18628f70663a2117988db23d646.png[/img] Fill your Deck with the right Abilities and hope you draw what you need in time! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/40f03ded0b193e83d195e3a04c6f3fb325c156f8.gif[/img] [b]Speaking of Challenges...[/b] One of the more complex screens for our Gamepad Support implementation was the Run Setup Panel. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/70ab171156dde014ed833b5d0213ce96af7acc71.png[/img] With the goal of keeping the Gamepad implementation as close to mouse and keyboard as possible, we've opted to keep sections of run setup visible at once. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44388421/bd514ddf17fb9bf4fa06a65da1243e21de10ef58.gif[/img] That's a wrap! Things are heating up for the 0.14 release already, next time I'll have the pleasure of revealing our very first Alchemist Talent Packages! Until then... [i]Stay Talented[/i]
