Dev Log #3 | New Buildings, Sandbox Mode & more!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Administrators, 

Welcome back! It’s officially the year for punishing sins. 

You can expect information on Playtest 2 dates within a matter of weeks, along with a full breakdown of its contents. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the December playtest. We’ve collated your feedback and are planning some changes for launch.

In the meantime, we’d like to share some more full-release content we’ve been working on.

❗Please note that some content showcased below will not be available in Playtest 2.

Power Shrines 🔎

These ancient structures can be colonised by Guacas or claimed by Humus Rangers ⚔️

When under Humus control, they periodically provide free Spells, without the need to unlock them or spend Faithcoins ✨

When a Shrine is ready, you can click on its orb to “store” a Spell in your Spellbar for later use. You can store as many as you want, and you can still choose to cast the paid version of a Spell instead (provided you’ve unlocked it) 💰

Some Spells are only accessible through Power Shrines (and cannot be unlocked in the Liber Administratum), such as Rockalicious — a throwable solid rock used to destroy structures — or Firewall 🔥

Once a Spell is collected, the Shrine enters a cooldown phase. You can make this refresh time faster by investing in a new passive skill from the Liber Administratum 🕐

We hope you’ll enjoy using this new tool to wreak havoc in the Overworld 💥

New Building Sneak Peek: Total Hell Recall 🧠

This is the upgraded version of the Hellpet Show — a building that generates Faithcoins, but much more efficiently; like the Break Room or Waiting Booth 3000, it can be upgraded on the spot or built directly from the construction bar ✨

This time, instead of treating Souls to a little show, their spooky memories are uploaded straight into their brains 😈

New Hell Building: Omnisin Doctor 7D ✨

This is the upgraded version of the Omnisin Doctor, for Administrators who like efficiency ⏫

For Souls, it’s the complete 7DX experience, with all the accessories — 7.7 Surround, Dolby Atmos, IMAX, and whatnot. Needless to say, it generates a lot of cash 💰

New Hell Building incoming: the Time Dilatator 🕙 

It breaks the Holy Patience of Saint Souls, eventually breaking their Sainthood. Perfect when Waiting Lines and Failures are not efficient enough to get rid of these nasty Saints! 😇

Drumroll, please, for a heavily requested feature… 🥁🥁🥁🥁

It was actually planned from the start, but here it is: 

Sandbox Mode!

This new game mode is meant for endless play with no objectives, for Administrators who want to experiment, fine-tune… and break things ⚡

You’ll be able to choose from fun presets, or customise your own game experience using sliders, lists, checkboxes, and more ⚙️

Want to remove Guacas and only battle Wargs? Check!
Want to make Humus super weak and extra vulnerable to Magic? Check!
Want to activate all existing Role Model Boons and World Modifiers at the same time?
We can’t guarantee a balanced experience — but go ahead 😈


At least now you know it’s real — and it’s coming
