11/20 Weekly Update
🕑 Added 2022-11-20 21:36:22 +0000 UTCTook a bit of a detour this week, focusing on the upcoming area and fleshing out some mechanics instead.
For starters, I did the new Harp weapon, which will be unlocked in the Deepwoods Vale from the butterfly girl. It's a Magic/Charisma hybrid support weapon, with some decent support abilities, as well as a decent variety of harp-unique channels. They're slightly weaker than some, but cost no mana to use or upkeep, in return for being limited to only having one at a time. Alongside that, did some more tuning on channels to make them work better.
There's also a decent spread of new Charisma actives, buffing your party, debuffing enemies, or offering some weird effects like reducing cooldowns/restoring mana. Similar to the harp, and synergizing decently well with it, they're meant to help support builds out.
Also added 15 or so new traits, a mix of magic, charisma, harp, and one for Greatswords.
Thermomancy got a pretty sizable expansion, alongside elemental resistances/mitigation now being a thing - some of the new enemies will have some interaction with that.
Also added 15 new monsters for the Deepwoods Vale, a mixture of cats, bears, minibosses, and Brazilian mythology.
Lastly, got a commission going for new weapon icons for most weapons, which seems to be going really well - homie works well and fast!
I don't have an exact ETA on release, but we're not... *too* far off, maybe. My hope is to get 0.23 out to patrons very late this week or early next week and see where it goes from there.
In the meantime, gonna do one more beta today and then just get back to work.
