Dev Diary #3 - Hero Groups, New Content, and End-Game

May 14

Hello, dungeon builders! It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work adding new features and improvements. Here’s a glimpse at what we’ve been up to:

Hero Groups

We’ve introduced the ability for your visitors to form parties and take on mightier monsters together! Grouping is a crucial tool for heroes to defeat high-level monsters and bosses. After all, what good is a cool skeleton boss if no one can ever defeat it?

Setting up hero groups is straightforward: simply research “Grouping Tables.” These tables serve as meeting points where heroes can rest, bond, and possibly form new parties.

With this new mechanic, dungeon building becomes even more dynamic. Consider researching tavern props and building a tavern inside your dungeon for that extra touch!

Energy System

Heroes now have energy meters that deplete with each action they take. Exhausted heroes will prioritize exiting your dungeon. To counter this, you can construct camping spots and energy potion dispensers to help heroes recharge.

New Research Perks

We’re expanding our research atlas with new perks that add depth and strategy to gameplay. Here’s a preview of some perks we’ve implemented:

Boss Door: Unlocks a door only openable by a party.

Elite Monsters: Increases the chance of spawning an elite version of a monster.

Smithing Station: Adds a vendor where heroes can enhance their abilities permanently.

Queue System

Visitors now exhibit more polite behavior. If they notice an object is in use, they’ll queue up to wait their turn.

Legendary Heroes

Designed as end-game content, legendary heroes bring unique challenges and exceptional rewards. These special visitors will evaluate your dungeon’s standards before they visit. Meeting their high expectations will earn you substantial rewards, including unique buildable objects with magical properties.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Dev Diary #2 - New AI, Classes, Monsters, and Future Plans

Nov 9, 2023

Hello Dungeon Masters!

Ever since we released our public demo, over 4,500 of you have played it! The amount of support we received is incredible and we can't wait to show you more of what's to come.

New AI

We've completely overhauled our AI system! Introducing the new GOAP (Goal-Oriented Action Planning) style AI – it's not just more efficient, but it brings human-like adaptability to our game. Expect smarter decisions, more dynamic interactions, and an AI that's a breeze to expand and evolve.

In our internal tests, we managed to get unexpectedly high FPS counts even during our stress tests of over 100 heroes on the scene.

Classes

By launch, Dungeon Tycoon will feature four unique classes – Warrior, Mage, Ranger, and Rogue. Each with its own set of skills and stats, perfectly complementing our revamped AI. Imagine warriors bravely tanking damage, mages weaving healing spells, and rangers dealing deadly blows. Plus, we're working on a new grouping behavior. Heroes will soon be able to form parties, strategizing and combining their strengths to face the strongest foes your dungeon has to offer.

New Monsters

We've been busy in the monster lab! Check out these incredible new additions to our bestiary:

And drumroll, please... Meet our first boss, the fearsome Skeleton King!

Our monsters are leveling up too – with about 10 unique skills planned for the next demo, expect more than just basic attacks. Each monster will have its unique strategic flair, changing the way you tackle each encounter.

Demo Update!

The demo will be updated soon as well! Even though it will not feature everything we mentioned in this dev diary, it will still be a really significant update. We'll try to polish and squeeze in as much content as we can without keeping you all waiting forever.

The Road Ahead

We're committed to deepening the gameplay with new systems, quality-of-life improvements, exciting objects, and thrilling events (beware the loot goblins!) .

Stay tuned for more in our next dev diary. Your support and feedback are the keystones of our dungeon, and we're always eager to hear your thoughts. Together, we're crafting an unforgettable adventure.

Keep exploring, and may your dungeons be ever prosperous!

With gratitude,
The Dungeon Tycoon Dev Team

Random Improvement Ideas

Spawners: Could do with a delay option (monster only spawns x seconds after hero enters room) Could do with conditional spawning (monster spawn after designated boss monster's HP falls below threshold) Saferooms: Ability to designate specific rooms as safe so adventurers can rest to recover a portion of their HP (maybe also pitch a tent and rest) Cafeteria: I wanna build a Cafeteria for heroes so they can eat to raise their opinion of my dungeon, before my monster kill them. Also might add the ability to...

Bugs, issues and feedback

First, I liked the experienced the demo was offering. Now that this is out in the air, here's my findings for my "second-screen playtime": Bugs: I accidentally found an exploitable glitch that allows unlimited gold. I was fiddling with placing new rooms in my dungeon and at one point, I wanted to remove one. Each time I clicked on destroy, it refunded the money used, but left the room there. It was attached from two or three points around it. Removing it would not have left any room n...
