Salutations, Wizards! The team has had a good, productive couple of weeks and with it new features to share with you. We’ve been working on a new knockdown system, improved AI, new abilities, and a perks system. Also we’re announcing a partnership with Gamepedia to create a Fictorum Wiki.

Fictorum 0.8.5 Patch Notes

Major Changes

Knockdown System

Characters can now be knocked down by the force of your spells without dying.  With this new system, the ragdoll physics for all characters is now greatly improved.

 

New Abilities

Aegis

Using the same power that shield the Nexuses, the Fictorum is able to cast an Aegis around himself, making him invulnerable to all damage for a short time.

 

Shockwave

Shockwave creates a telekinetic impulse around the player which does no damage, but will knockdown all nearby enemies.

 

Arc

A concentrated telekinetic pulse sending enemies in front of the Fictorum flying.

 

Perks

Your blood, sweat, and tears will no longer be spilled in vain as you advance to new chapters! Each chapter, beginning at chapter two, will offer your character a choice of perks to choose from. These will include maximum health, maximum mana, mana regeneration, spell power, and other advantages.

Perk Choices

 

Improved Foliage

We’ve slightly improved our foliage on all tilesets to make the world a little less barren.

New Enemy

The Corrupted Assassin has replaced the Corrupted Hulk in our lineup.  Watch out—The corruption has made this enemy almost invisible! He’s fast and he hits hard.
