Big Hunt Prototype V : Endless Edition

Hi Folks !

We meet again for the release of a new prototype: Big Hunt Endless Edition!

Since September we have been looking at the "Rogue" aspect of the game. For that we focused this prototype on a rapid chaining of levels and the addition of stats and perks to modify them.

It is quite different from the old prototype both in terms of structure and content so the latter remains available!

Stats

The Hunter now has 7 stats:

• Weight: Determines  the speed of falling. Also affects movement speed.
• Agility: Determines movement speed.
• Dexterity: Determines the speed at which shots are charged. Also affects the cooldown between shots.
• Power: Determines the size of the shot gauge. Also affects range, arrow speed, and penetration bonus.
• Damage: Determines the damage of arrows.
• Bleed: Determines the rate at which wounds inflicted bleed.
• Penetration: Determines the base penetration of arrows.

Perks

There are 28 perks divided into 3 different families:

• Stats: Stat modification, what we focused on.
• Specials: Gameplay modification, like those of this summer's prototype. They are only a few of, due to balancing.
• Gears: Activated with rosée (mana in the game lore) for a temporary or instant effect.

Enemies Rework

For this version we focused on Flies and Worms. But don't worry, Turrets, Slimes, Dragons (and new ones also...) will be back for your enjoyment!

Worm

We were told at Gamescom that it would be cool if worms had scales... It's done. It's also a good way to highlight the penetration statistic!

Fly

Flies have also been reworked, there are more variations of the different types to offer diversity and new challenges as we progress through the levels!

Endless Mode

Since this prototype is focused on experimenting with statistical progression and enemies, it presents itself as an endless mode: a succession of random levels interspersed with special rooms.

New levels

You will find 12 exclusive levels! We discovered that we could wall-slide ceilings at 25°+ if we are not too heavy so do not hesitate to do it (the famous “not a bug, a feature”).

Shop & Gift Room
