[DEV] New Shattered Cursed Wand Effects! (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next major update will be going to beta early this coming week.

Here's one more new thing coming in v2.5: new cursed wand effects! I'm adding 16 new effects, ranging from simple bubbles to a rare but extreme supernova explosion! The bubbles are harmless but you really, really want to avoid the explosion.

(Image description: A GIF showing the new supernova explosion effect. A yellow glowing orb keeps growing in size while danger indicators litter the floor. After 10 turns the orb explodes, killing the player)

So, can you outrun this, are you safe behind a corner or is the only way to safety a decent teleport?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yes, yes, and only if you activate it in a locked room

Does it only trigger an explosion blob on the red indicators? If so, then you could even outlive it if healthy enough, and it'd be kinda easy to dodge, if you are not trapped. You could make it so it also beckons all the enemies to that location, after all, a huge light followed by a huge explosion just happened. A way of making it more impactful

It is an explosion effect at each tile. Having it attract enemies would make it a little too clearly positive I think, as you'd be basically getting a guaranteed kill on everything within 20 or so tiles of the explosion center.

At the end of the explosion, I meant

Fun! Do you expect this change to significantly effect the power of the resin trinket, or do they mostly keep the balance?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do expect this to be a soft nerf to wondrous resin, as you'll be less likely to get certain very beneficial effects.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If these new effects means that you are less likely of triggering the cursed trap effect and the one that takes you like 10 floors above, then they are welcome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, existing effects are effectively half as common now.
