Follower count, More Heirlooms

More heirlooms

We finally are starting to make some progress on getting some content for every different component of our game. We previously had a single testing heirloom, but never had the option yet to change it, or any other heirlooms to even change it to. Now, we’ve got 2 bonus heirlooms already, with a few more in the pipeline. As a reminder, these heirlooms are an item that you can bring with you at the start of the run, that will greatly influence the overall feeling of that run.

Followers

Now these heirlooms don’t come for free, and will be linked to our follower system and unlock system to get more of them as you progress through the game. That follower system is now implemented as well, and serves as a different kind of scoring system. At the end of each run, you will gain a certain amount of followers, in line with how much epic combat you did during your run. The better the run, the more followers, the faster you’ll be making progress.

What’s next
Today, let’s make unlockables our main goal.

I’ve also sent out a large order yesterday to get a load of extra sprites, this time for item icons, as well as getting a 2nd weapon available for our warrior, both of these will take some time though to get delivered.
