Here’s some more screenshots showing off some of the new Relic Upgrades. Far Summon and Quick Summon both modify your basic Summoning ability, by adding range, or eliminating the turn cost. Quick Dismiss removes the turn cost from Dismiss as well: having both Quick Summon and Quick Dismiss, both of which every Crown of Glory summoner starts with will mean never needing to spend your main character’s actual turns on ally management. Pretty handy!

Far Summon on the other hand, lets you (particularly with higher level/longer ranged versions of it, like Far Summon III shown below) position your demons right where you need them upon summoning. Summon melee guys directly in front of incoming enemies, summon supports well back from the main fight, etc. I expect this one to have many useful applications.

Don’t see these too often: we have a double win on the scoreboard, courtesy of LuckyLuckLuc (or so I assume from the character’s name, Lucky Buff ) Congrats Lucky!

Next build is now officially entering testing and should hopefully release soon. Testing might be a bit longer than normal since there’s some significant UI changes done that I want to try and make sure haven’t opened any terrible portals to hell (well, ones that I don’t want open anyway) before I release it. But, with any luck, it should be done quickly and I’ll be on to something much more exciting for almost everyone.

So, one of the bigger UI changes I’ve been adding for the next build is the ability to close most pop-up windows by right-clicking off of them.

Well, that’s pretty neat. But.. uh… it isn’t really good for screenshots. The screenshots just look like the window open, or the window closed. They don’t even show the mouse cursor!

So, instead, have a ferret. The new build should actually be out fairly soon, and then I’ll be back to working on new content and system goodies.

Hey everyone.

My Dark Souls 3 semi-vacation is almost over: starting tomorrow, I’m back at work. Not because I’ve actually beaten that delightfully evil game yet mind you, just don’t want to be away from Demon too long.

Next up on the agenda: a build with a few more currency tweaks, then some UI improvements, and bug hunting/fixing. That’s two separate builds btw: I will probably formally “announce” currency to the world after releasing the currency tweaks. (Up until this point, I’ve only posted about it here and RogueBasin so that I’d get enough feedback to tweak it, I wanted to wait for that before unleashing it on everyone else.)

After those builds? I haven’t decided just yet, it will either be additional content, or the next system. Tempting to just pick the system, since most players still live in the first 25-33% of the content that already exists, but I like to remember my older fans by giving them new stuff to chew on now up there at the current top of the Tower too. Still, I can make better decisions about new content once all the systems are in, soo… yeah, just haven’t decided yet.
