Full Gear v2.2: "What If They See You?"

Ah, Reapers. They hunt down unkillable or overpowered entities. But they're here? For me? Psh. I'm not afraid of them. I've been told about them well enough. Never seen a live one.

Ah, Reapers. They hunt down unkillable or overpowered entities. But they're here? For me? Psh. I'm not afraid of them. I've been told about them well enough. Never seen a live one. They suck at hunting but carry nothing. I'll just avoid them for a bit. So what if they see me? I have nothing to hide.

Hello, adventurers!

So, let's get one thing straight

I'm moving to Australia now.

That changes things

game development obviously got shoved on the side a little bit for the last month. I'm putting the game on a simmer instead of a full boil.

That shouldn't matter, of course, for it is Spooktober and Halloween is always just around the corner. Just like in the summer, for the entirety of October there'll be ten fancy seasonal items to spice it up. Webby hands, pumpkins, and bats can now be found when playing as Devi.

Sets and Goals

They're finally here: Liz has her own item sets and Goals to complete in Modern Mode! That means a lot of previously free items are now locked behind some simple - and some tricky - objectives. To maintain clarity, you cannot complete Liz' Goals as Devi, or vice versa. They give some directions of what things you can do as Liz, so check them out even in Traditional Mode. You'll do great!

On top of this, Liz also has 4 more item sets, tallying up 24 more items for her playstyle.

  • "Virus" plays with Calm, a new mechanic to prevent enemies from initiating fire

  • "Skull" allows you to easier deal with Reapers. Wait, what?

  • "Builder" grants you more and better Drones! If you want to combine magic and technology

  • "Counter" created powerful counter-attacks more often.

I'm not planning to add even more items right now, since must like Devi, Liz' item pools should remain relatively small and controlled. But who knows.

The Face of Death

Liz is already walking on thin ice, even without flinging spells everywhere. Something's here. I can feel it.

They won't do anything until you accumulate Curse, and you might be able to outrun them. They're not that dangerous on their own, either.

But I will suggest you should be careful nonetheless.
