This update log is not yet completed, so information may be added or removed in the final product.

Warfare Mode

New Content

  • New Team Capes for Warriors: Fun Fact: these were previously in the game but was removed due to us not liking how they looked, but they’re back!

    • The capes’ colors change to match that of the Warrior’s team color whom is wearing it
    • It will be easier to distinguish which Warriors are allies/enemies

  • You can now issue Divine Punishments on other players!

    • Players can expose themselves if they are exhausted from dashing. A Shield gauge will appear above players. Deplete the gauge to 0% by dealing damage to said player
    • If the gauge is completely empty and the attacker in within striking distance, the attacker can issue a Divine Punishment, dealing massive damage which can potentially eliminating the player
    • An animation will play along with the issue: this will be customizable in the future

  • New Gear added/re-enabled:

    • Revolver
    • LMG (Light Machine Gun)
    • SCAR (Special Combat Assault Rifle)
    • Wind Staff (was temporarily disabled due to game-breaking bugs)
    • Flamethrower (a Magic Gear; deals Burn damage)

  • Introducing the Battle Platform!

    • This is how Warriors enter current Battles
    • Team Crystals are now placed on top of this platform

  • New Spawn Towers on the battlefield:

    • There will be two Spawn Towers per team, each one can be placed separately
    • Each Spawn Tower heals any Warrior whose team color represents the Towers’ team
    • Tower barriers prevent enemy Warriors from infiltrating and blocks any projectiles from trespassing (all Warriors)
    • Each Spawn Tower also is equipped with a Shockwave defense mechanism: this will push away any enemy Warrior within the shockwave’s range, allowing the players inside to exit the Towers safely. This can be triggered by clicking on the light fixed on the ceilings

  • Overtime: this activates when certain conditions are met during the “end” of a Battle: this allows the losing team a chance for a comeback

  • Revitalized Keep Control game mode! It is now in the game mode rotation:

    • Each Keep contains 16 capture nodes Warriors can touch to change the nodes’ color to their team’s color
    • Once all capture nodes are one color, the Keep will be claimed by the team which captured it, giving team points
    • Enemy Warriors can repeat the previous steps to claim Keeps: the defending Warriors must make sure the capture nodes are their team’s color
    • Overtime initiates if the losing team owns one or more Keeps. Either the team in the lead has to claim all of the Keeps from the losing team to break Overtime or the losing team keeps control (pun kind of intended) of the Keeps to earn enough points to bypass the team in the lead to break Overtime and win the Battle (what a run-on sentence)
    • When Overtime is active, all Keeps dispense points to the losing team much faster. Any Keep the team in the lead owns does not dispense points to that team

  • Revitalized Team Deathmatch game mode (inspired by Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville):

    • The Battle will be split up into rounds: it’s a best of three rounds (the team which wins two of those rounds claims victory)
    • Each round lasts for three minutes
    • The objective is to eliminate every enemy Warrior from the other team to win a round
    • Every new round that starts will deactivate all Spawn Towers, there will be no respawning
    • When a Warrior is wiped out, they will respawn in the Lobby, abandoning their allies on the battlefield
    • If the timer expires and neither team has reached zero active Warriors, Overtime initiates. The Bell will begin to chime: each chime will deal damage proportionate to each active Warriors’ max HP (they can get eliminated this way). The longer Overtime lasts, the higher the damage will be. Overtime will break if either team has reached zero active Warriors
    • When a round finishes, Spawn Towers will be briefly activated and every Warrior will respawn back onto the battlefield for the next round
    • This revitalization was inspired by Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville (a fairly new shooter game developed by PopCap Games)

  • Added new events to the Boss Rush game mode:

    • Overtime initiates if the Boss remains alive and there are still active Warriors. Overtime breaks if the Boss is defeated or there are zero active Warriors battling
    • Overtime deals damage to surviving Warriors and all Warriors who are eliminated respawn back in the Lobby

  • Third-person camera mode:

    • The camera will enter this mode when doing certain actions, such as equipping Gear that will initiate this feature
    • This new feature is mainly to help with mobile players aim better
    • Getting eliminated with this enabled will disable it

  • Added in-game currencies:

    • Battle Tokens (Warfare Mode currency, common currency)
    • Amethysts (premium currency used in the entire game)

  • Introducing the new Player Menu UI! This menu displays your current level and currencies as well as a few submenus:

    • Character
      • You can customize your Gear loadout for the next Battle (you may have three Gears in your loadout)
      • Other submenus in this submenu are still under construction
    • Settings
      • Customize your game settings to fit your play style (a reminder to report ANY problems if you come across any. This system is fairly new)
    • Warrior Profile
      • View your Warfare Mode statistics, such as the Badges you have earned (coming soon!)
    • Other information is also displayed, such as the server’s age and the server code (only shown in private servers)

  • New battle results screen now displays:

    • The outcome of the battle (e.g. which team won the Battle)
    • Individual player stats: your stats, final score, and rewards you’ve earned

  • Damage directional arrows UI: if you’re being attacked, directional arrows will appear onscreen and rotate to show where you where attacked from

  • Added a new visual queue when activating Special Abilities: your character’s right eye will glow (color representing team’s color)

  • New music to jam about! Some music may be subject to change in the future as we are approaching to create our own original music for the game
