I plan start closed beta in the second week of January. Of course, all the time I will update the progress in creating the game here
What was your inspiration for the game? Also noticed that the texts are in polish. Are you planning to do a softlaunch there first?
I really like play rpg and idle also, so I wanted to combine this to in one I saw a lot of idle games with small rpg mechanics but mostly you collect heroes in it, instead of owning one. My inspiration was old RPG games like Baldurs Gate , and paper version of Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer where you must use your imagination. Explorer mode in Derendal works like a simplified version of D&D description made by Dungeon Master (at least I hope it will sound like this: P ) where you will see only description of your hero step(This descriptions are generated ). Is a one man project so I really hope that I can give a little bit of the spirit of these experiences. I definitely want to soft launch this game to test all mechanics on bigger group of peoples but where it will be I frankly don't know
[WEEK 2] New Explorer Step Type and Skills In this week I added new step type - Treasure. Every time you explore location you have chance to find secret treasure. When you open it you can get additional gold and silver. Another added feature was SEARCH. Now you can additionally search in every explorer step and get more experience for it. In the beta version of the game you will have 18 skills to skills to upgrade. Every skill is unique and in some way speeds up gaining experience.
