Hello, little skeletons!
The nickname "Murdoc" had been our biggest patron during our fundraiser.
However, he has been listed as TBD (To Be Determined) from the official launch of Skul up until now.
As a crowd-funding reward, we at SOUTHPAW GAMES decided to create an original Skull in honour of Murdoc, but the project had been on hold until recently.
Murdoc wanted to create a Skull that not only respected the game but was also well-designed and fitting for the game. Therefore, Murdoc mentioned that he needed time to gain a higher understanding of the game and come up with better ideas, and we respected his decision and chose to wait.
As both we and Murdoc had to focus on our respective tasks, more time passed than anticipated. However, we both have not forgotten about the project, and finally, Murdoc’s commemorative Skull has appeared in the land of Harmonia.
The name of this Skull is the "Dominator".
It's a Legendary Speed type Skull that uses a living Evil Sword, a demon's Skull.
The Dominator uses the power of the Evil Sword to leave a 'Scar' in the air to attack enemies, and the Evil Sword absorbs 'vital energy' from those hit by the Scar.
When the Evil Sword has absorbed maximum vital energy, the Dominator can awaken the Evil Sword.
When the Evil Sword awakens, it temporarily cannot use skills, but its movement speed increases significantly and its basic combo attack changes to incessantly swinging the Evil Sword in a 'Madness' motion right where it stands.
When the Evil Sword returns to its slumber, the skill cooldown speed increases for a certain period of time proportional to the number of times enemies were attacked with Madness.
We are truly happy to finally create this Skull for our beloved little skeletons and patron Murdoc. The next 1.9.0 update will include the Dominator, along with some balance adjustments and bug fixes. We are targeting April 4th (PT) for the update schedule.
We look forward to your continued interest and support and hope you all have a wonderful day.
