Greetings travelers We are the Alambik Studio team. We are happy to meet you again for this second devlog about Diluvian Winds!
- A new forecast
Today, we will describe a core element of the game: weather and natural disasters. Throughout your experience, weather influences everything in the game and hinders progress. Even if the weather looks like an obstacle, being adaptive lets you carry through your plans and get the most out of any situations.
And here's the trick: each weather effect offers a unique challenge: foggy weather affects the morale of your travelers while a bright shiny sun affects resources production. It is also the perfect opportunity for us to offer immersive visual and sound design related to the different day's phases.
- Brace yourselves
Weather is a core mechanic, and natural disasters are the equal of bosses. During the Prologue, you encountered a giant wave that is testing your base. Get ready for the next disasters as they will join the party during the development of the game.
- You sent your feedback, we listened!
We dived into reworking how weather disasters would appear. In the previous version, they would appear after a challenging weather creating unfair difficulty spikes, which could be overwhelming at the time.
With the new system, we have now splitted weather effects from natural disasters to allow more flexibility and control over randomness. Also, it opens a good development angle towards the behavior of weather as you progress through a run, which provides a more appropriate challenge throughout the game.
Thank you for the warm comments and feedback you submitted after playing the Prologue.
Know that we are currently working on the Early Access which is planned for early next year!
