Dear Community,
We are very pleased to release the next major update V0.5.0.
Achievements System
It's been requested for a long time – now there are achievements for Tormentis too. Since mobile players should also have this feature, it was a bit more complicated, and a system had to be developed that manages all data and counters on the server side and awards achievements, which are then synchronized with Steam.
There are 38 achievements in total, 4 of which are hidden. We hope you enjoy hunting and discovering achievements!
Daily Login Calendar
From now on, players will receive small rewards every day. The login calendar contains 7 rewards that can be collected one after the other. We don't want players to feel pressured. Therefore, the calendar has been designed so that it doesn't reset just because you don't have time to play for 1-2 days. Only after three days does the calendar reset to day 1.
There are currently three different login calendars tied to level ranges. More will be added in the future.
Balancing
There are currently several topics in Discord regarding balancing. We are monitoring these topics very closely and trying to compare and understand players' opinions and feelings with the collected data and dungeon results.
The first skills have already been adjusted, and more will follow in the next updates.
Vision: Revising the League System
Our vision is to develop a game with a competitive league system that is fun for both casual and dedicated players. Therefore, we are planning a major overhaul in an upcoming major update.
While losing league points can be demotivating for casual players, dedicated players demand a strong focus on their dungeon defense and a noticeable loss of league points when conquering dungeons.
We want to implement this in different leagues, where the importance of one's own dungeon defense and the potential loss of trophies increase with increasing league level.
The duration of a league season should be significantly shortened so that no player feels compelled to play for four or six weeks in a row to actively participate in league activities. We also want to limit the number of attacks per season – each player should be able to decide when these attacks are carried out or adapt them to their own circumstances.
Due to the shortened duration of a league season, somewhat smaller rewards have to be distributed. Here, we would like to introduce a token system that allows players to purchase special rewards for league tokens, including cosmetics and other special rewards.
We would, of course, be very happy to hear your ideas and thoughts on this vision and share them with us on Discord or our Steam Community board!
Outlook
In the coming updates, we plan to implement the new room system and further revise the skills to ensure a balanced approach across all weapon types.
Furthermore, we've decided that this update will be the last major update without new dungeon assets (cosmetic content, dungeon themes, dungeon backgrounds, new monsters, or traps). With this, we want to begin further expanding the game's variety with each upcoming major update.
