Cathedral Boss Weekly Update

Reki here. Weekly update as usual. Next week, there will certainly be no update. Some good stuff in this one though. The last area boss other than the finale of the game, for one. Of course, some bosses still need polish, and I can think of one in particular that needs a larger overhaul, but in general I am satisfied with the variety of bossfights. I hadn't ever created a boss in a game before Blessed Surface. Well, I didn't create any games at all before Blessed Surface. But I think I've gotten more confident at making bosses. The first few times I tried, I wasted my time giving them huge movesets with hundreds of frames of animation, only to scrap most of the attacks. It's much more natural now, just planning a some moves and how the boss flows between them. Anyways, just polish, new tutorial, more random events and creatures, the soundtrack, and then the finale of the game. And I will consider Blessed Surface complete. There's still a lot, but the end is in sight. The first game I started working on. And other than cutting a few areas during the decision to enter Early Access and race to the end, I think it has become what I wanted to make. Thanks for the support. CONTENT: - Added Holy Cathedral of Dust Boss. - Added one new aquatic creature each to Kiriki Garden, Cemetery of Bells, Grom wall, and Bakyarl Prison, and adjusted level design to include some pools of water for them to spawn. - Plague-Blocking Shield directional attack has been overhauled. You can now block with it, then attack with your other weapon. - Battery slot visuals updated. - Added some sound effects. GAMEPLAY TWEAKS: - The falloff of sound effects has been adjusted. No longer should sounds be a huge amount louder when close to you, it's more subtle now. However, many effects require adjustment now, which will be done in future updates. - Damage is now capped on most things so that they can only deal damage every so often. Hopefully this means that poorly programmed damage sources doing hundreds of damage to creatures within seconds will no longer be a thing. - Buffed Grachi Heart. - Boofrog behavior updated. - Curse Charges now disappear on their own without any special curse equipment. FIXES: - Fixed that under certain circumstances, invasive species would get their populations set to 49 instead of being removed from the area. - Fixed inaccurate visuals when monsters heal. - Bosses behave a bit better when the player hasn't entered their arena yet.

  • Blessed Surface is an open-world 2d platformer, mixing the depth of its detailed and lively gameworld with fast-paced, chaotic gameplay. Relaxed exploration, a skill-rewarding, diverse combat system, and high potential character-building make up the core of the game.



    ▬ You can equip two weapons, which have two unique attacks each. A wide range of builds with unique movesets is available. You'll need to find weapons that combo well together, and can adapt to any situation.

    ▬ Charge up your finishing move and destroy enemies with style!

    Timed blocking and other mechanics reward speed and accuracy.

    ▬ Collect ammo that drops from defeated creatures, and use your gunner mode for some extra damage on more difficult enemies.





    ▬ Collect armor, guns, melee weapons, and passive or triggered perks. Find what works well together and make your own playstyle!

    ▬ Nearly every creature you meet has a chance to drop its heart. Hearts give you one passive and one triggered perk, and you can have up to three hearts active!

    ▬ Hatch a creature as your pet! With a huge amount of potential pets, find the weirdest one to be your companion!

    ▬ Every armor set has a unique finishing move, as well as a luck stat that gives you a higher chance to meet special encounters.

    Level up your weapons by hitting stuff with them!





    Events, both random and based on the real-time clock, ensure that you'll always see something different each play session, from different creatures emerging at certain hours, to daily bosses, to flowers changing color throughout the year.

    ▬ There's also an in-game ecosystem. Every monster you kill makes an impact on the population. Monsters breed and lay eggs. They multiply with the passing of every real-time day. They have favorite foods, and fight each other. It's a living world.

    ▬ Lore and writing fleshes out a fairy tale-esque world, telling you fantastical stories about its unusual inhabitants through various sources, including item descriptions and an in-depth NPC dialogue system.



    And perhaps, if you are determined, you might just find the Blessed Surface...

    Features

    • A seamless, dungeon-like open world with over 10 uniquely themed areas, including portals, secret passages, and more

    • Large population of well over 50 unique enemies and bosses

    • Skill-based combat system with many different weapons, armor, guns, and over 100 passive/triggered perks

    • Functioning ecosystem allowing for creature population control, invasive species, and other innovative mechanics

    • Random and timed events

    • Keyword-based dialogue system, hiding many secrets if you know what to ask, allowing players to take conversation at their own pace

    • Deep lore and stories to discover

    • Basic two-player online multiplayer; players are synchronized, enemies from another player's world are not (easily join via Steam, no port forwarding or setup required)

    Why open-world, rather than a Metroidvania?

    There are a few subtle differences, in the way content is structured. Metroidvanias are usually based on going from place to place to find new things and unlock new areas, whereas this game contains more dynamic systems to give you a unique and fresh experience no matter where in the map you are!





    For making it to the end, you have been blessed by the Biter of good fortune.
