A Flaming Nightmare + Community Vote!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 01:10:51 AM

Hey Hunters!

It's time to reveal the 2nd Daily Unlock of the campaign :) 

Today we introduce a new kind of content: Nightmare Scenarios (which are playable in both Campaign and Expedition modes).

The game is already set on a high difficulty, but for those who are looking for an even harder mode, the Nightmare Scenarios are an incredible challenge to face. Not only a Nightmare Scenario changes the setup, the terrains and the victory/defeat conditions of the game, but it comes with a unique deck of cards for the monster to be added to - or, in some cases, to completely replace - the normal one. This means that the monster will have different stances, behaviours and peril cards with respect to its normal version.

A Flaming Nightmare

Lava runs through its veins and its eyes glow in the dark. Is there a fire demon dwelling inside Kharja's soul, or is it just a glare of the primal flame?

The monster, in the Nightmare version, burns your stamina because of the high temperatures it creates in the surrounding environment. The more it heats up, the higher are the costs to play Attack cards. 

Also, Kharja is able to trap up to two hunters with its twin tails. When you are trapped, place your miniature onto the monster board; at the start of your turn, try to set you free! Discard the top card from your deck, if it is an Attack or a Manoeuvre card, you are free! Otherwise, you suffer damage, you skip your turn and you remain trapped. Never start your turn in the backside of the monster!

This is only a taste about Kharja's behaviour. Are you ready to enter a flaming nightmare?

The Eyes of the garrison returned with an incredible story. While scouting in the holes and caverns around the Woltyar, they spotted a gigantic turtle-like creature, with a heavily spiked carapace that was emerging from the depth of an underground lava rivers. The sages have spent days searching for information on the Tome of Creatures and they found many different names for the monster that corresponds to the explorers' description.

Which name do you prefer for this monster? YOU decide!!!

Let us know in the comments and all the votes will be counted within the next 24h!

Be ready, this beast is a perilous threat and tomorrow is time to for the first Quest Event ;)

1M€ FUNDED + Project We Love! + 1st Daily Unlocks
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jan 21, 2021 at 12:24:19 AM

Hey Hunters! 

The campaign is maintaining a great pace! We already broke down the wall of 1M€!!!

It's time to reveal new content from our Daily Unlocks lane :)

We have planned to run this campaign in the daily updates style. We love the idea of revealing a surprise every day through the campaign. The amount of content we will unlock is the same we would have with "normal" stretch goals; the difference for you is that you are sure you will get the most epic and stretchiest version of the game! At the same time this allow the creator to plan most of the stretch goals ahead of time.

Day 1 Unlocks

Let's start our journey with new item cards added to the game! Each of the following items come with a special Quest scenario and a new achievement to be unlocked during campaign mode.

These are unique relics or pieces of equipment that you may or not discover during the campaign mode based on your quest-path. They can have an impact on both gameplay and story. 

The old Tome of Creatures collects studies about monsters and lifeforms that our ancestors had knowledge of. Many creatures depicted in the book still live in Thyrea, although some of the most fascinating ones have become extinct under mysterious and unclear circumstances. The sages have reasons to believe that there are missing pages of the book which could contain important information about what they call "the Awakening".

The illustration of the Tome of Creatures was initially designed with the only aim to enhance the visual experience of reading the Campaign book. However, since we really liked this concept, we then decided to add a unique item card to the game with a special power that helps you to anticipate the monster behaviour cards. Knowledge is power! 

The lore of Thyrea is filled with mysteries and ancient magic that players will uncover during campaign mode. The second unlocked item card is a great example of that: the ring of Tlachta, one of the stones discovered in the aftermath of the ancient eruption of the Woltyar.  None knows exactly how it does it, but Tlachta allows you to slightly interact with creatures' emotions in order to alter their impulse and their rage. 

 Finally, the last unlock for today is a special one, since it's the first cross-over with ELO Darkness, our first project (art by Leonardo Casciarola).

The mask named Sycamore Bark has been uncovered by Aelyn, an explorer who was scouting the northern lands beyond Mount Tempest. She was so attracted by this artifact that she always kept with her from the moment of its discovery. People say since that day she was no longer the same person, becoming reclusive and gloomy, as if she had contact with some terrible truth she couldn't reveal to anyone. Today none knows where Aelyn is and where the Sycamore Bark has led her in the end. 

New "Beginner/Advanced" mode

There is more! After receiving feedback, we decided to officially announce that we will add a double version for most of the scenario in the "one-shot" Expedition mode of the game!

• "Beginner" version is meant to be an entry level mode making the game more accessible (not less challenging though!) thanks to simple builds for the hunters and more streamlined mechanics.
• "Advanced" version of the scenario will be the full, deeper version for the players that are looking forward to confronting themselves with complex cooperative puzzles and card-play.

We think Primal design structure really well fits this possibility, and we are more than happy to provide it.

Project We Love

In the meantime, we are so proud to say that Kickstarter officially LOVES Primal :)

This project is huge, ambitious and it would be absolutely impossible without this amazing platform and without your incredible support. The LOVE is mutual <3

That's all for today! Thanks again for making all of this happen.

Tomorrow we will embark on a journey through the region of the Woltyar, the largest Volcano in Thyrea. 

Is there a giant turtle approaching our Day 3? Is it awakening under the caldera of the Woltyar?

Be ready! ;)
