Yaradiel's Crown update 0.7.5!


Hey friends!





I hope you are having a wonderful day!


Today is update day, so let’s get to it!

What’s new?


  • Added a new mechanic: Enemies above level 30 have a chance to put a debuff on targets they hit when they take unmitigated damage (debuff is based on faction). 


  • Added a new mechanic: Assassin enemies above level 20 get a buff that causes their attacks to deal split elemental damage (total damage is the same)

    These two mechanics are part of a scaling danger for enemies of higher levels. So as the level rises enemies now become more powerful in different ways.


  • Added 10 new trinkets to the Drifter’s store
    These trinkets all have something in common: They give powerful bonuses and awful penalties!


  • Added a new Grab ability: Overwhelming temptation. Attempt to charm an enemy, if you succeed they will go and start a sex interaction with any of their allies. You can find the spellbook inside Shine’s room (Desire club vip area)


  • Added a new original sex position: Lifted Doggystyle


  • Added a new original sex position: Wrestler riding


  • Added 3 new enemies


  • Added 3 new elites


  • Added 7 new items


  • Added 7 new abilities


  • Added 9 new combat talents!


  • Added 14 new ero talents!


  • Added a new area: Ancient monastery, exterior 


  • Added a pooling system for VFX, increasing performance related to spells and VFX


  • Added 2 new dialogue events (related to main story progression)


  • Added a new grapple ability: Gambler’s escape (you either escape or be restrained!)


  • Added a Wishlist on steam button (press it!)


  • Added 8 new personal dialogues


  • Added a Current level display for talents


  • Added a new Special perk for enemies: Ero specialization. (Gain a buff on start of combat +100% ero power, -40% damage done, lose half the usual amount of health when cumming)


  • Adjusted enemy passives so they are more impactful


  • Adjusted some enemy abilities


  • Added a new bonus companion: Magenta, a helpful support succubus! (You can find her in the bonus companions folder)




What changed?


  • Enabled an option made some time ago that wasn’t being used

  • Maximum level increased to 35


  • Inflict pain and Kinky smack damage recalculated to better use attributes

  • Lustful no longer reduces ero power, it instead reduces Escape power (and Ero res)


  • Expanded mind talent no longer grants spell power, now it has 3 levels and grants speed


  • Stormbolt base damage increased by 60% and scaling increased by 22%


  • Remorseless fusilade talent now also grants you 20/40 turn meter on kill


  • Cantrip specialization talent potency changed from 11% damage and 7% reduction per point to 20% damage and 8% reduction per point


  • Lightning reflexes (talent proc) now grants 5% more Evasion and grants 5 speed, but the duration has been reduced to 5/7/9 seconds. It can stack up to 3 times now.


  • Firebolt (attack), Shadow bolt and Flame bolt now are properly tagged as Bolt spells


  • Talent passive bonuses for Fortitude, Temperance, and Resolve have been increased by 30-100% (based on talent’s other effects)

  • Mantle of the Forest, and Divine protection resistances granted increased from 30 to 35


  • Increases Resistances bonuses for some weapons and trinkets


  • Moved Ravenwood manor lever to a location a bit more visible



What got fixed?


  • Separated action type with scaling and fixed an issue that caused abilities with both attack and spell tags to have the wrong scaling.


  • Updated Job quests to include enemies, factions, and elites up to the current content


  • Updated Heavy bondage chair sex animations,some of these are a bit more intense now


  • Dialogues for enemy Npcs no longer require a copy of the NPC data in the friendlies folder. (This fix slightly reduces memory consumption)


  • Fixed an issue with bondage collar text calling the wrong target’s name


  • Fixed an issue with pleasure machines showing non-sanitized names


  • Fixed an issue with collision on Central ruins


  • Fixed an issue with POV camera upon exiting sex


  • Fixed an issue with male toy on the sybian


  • Fixed an issue with getting bound before starting a match


  • Fixed an issue with two abilities having the same name 


  • Fixed an issue with Teasing provocation



And that’s all for today!


This month’s update turned out to be bigger than I anticipated. I decided to bite the bullet and spend a lot of time completing more talents. I want to try to get as much of the gameplay completed before the end of the year, so I can focus next year on polishing and making everything prettier (and adding the romances, which will take me an insane amount of time). 


You can see that I changed many things in combat, in general the idea is to make all attributes more useful, including damage types and resistances. At higher level enemies will debuff you when hitting (usually a 1% per stack, stacking up to 70-100 times, only when taking unmitigated damage). So having high resistances to elemental damages will help a lot (or just not getting hit). 


The new Ero specialization passive perk has been given to some enemies, in particular you can see it in action with Shine, and some succubus enemies! 


I also made some changes to the enemies in the Lab area. Added a debuff I made some time ago but was disabled and changed some of their abilities and themes. 


Check the player settings to see some old systems that now are working!


For those of you out of the loop Yaradiel’s Crown is coming to Steam!


Go and wishlist the game!

Have a wonderful week!


Cheers!
