Posted Mar 9, 2023Sorry, but your prologue boss is an absolute travesty and you should not have designed it yourself.
So let's look at what we have with the prologue scorpioness: we have 1 ranged character, one character that doesn't fight at all, and one melee character. You need to constantly micro them away from the bosses many explosions and dot puddles. The problem is, melee units will re-engage the enemy on damage, so microing the protoss often results in him going right back into melee range, often into puddle or exploisions, even when you don't want him to. It's actually better to just put him in a corner and let him only engage when he has good shields and cooldown. So your design means 1/3 of your heroes is a liabillity because the fight needs so much micro that microing a melee unit, who constantly gets baited back into fighting and dies because of it, that you can't micro the other 2 units individually sufficiently. That and the pull move the boss does doesn't seem to follow any logic at all, I had it happen with the healer multiple times and she died from aoe, which is impossible to prevent.
To fix this fight, I would restrict the boss from putting the dot puddles under herself, but use the explosions more in melee range. That would encourge using the protoss, while also keeping distance and micro necessary for the healer and ranged hero. That and give the pull move the logic of going for the nearest hero, especially when explosions is about to happen near the boss.
Now it should be noted that I played on hard difficulty, but no matter the difficulty, bad design is still bad design. Your prologue boss doesn't feel fun or reasonable to fight against.

Posted Jan 28, 2020Just finished replaying Last Remnant.
Seems there is a bug that I missed.
Well not a bug actually, more like 'oops, I forget to change that'.
During ending cinematic I forget to change Handsome Jack's portrait.
Not actually game breaking, but it is there.

Posted Nov 2, 2019This is a reminder on the missing water ripple topic.
Should anyone experience missing water ripple on mission 5, please let me know.
I will change the water ripple and put grass / water plant.
Q : What is up with the water ripple
A : It shows where a lurker is burrowing. Allowing people to avoid / hit it with EMP.
Q : Why can't I see it / why is it missing ?
A : Graphics setting on low ? Editor Bug ? I dunno.
Q : How to fix this ?
A : Let me know and I will update the mission. Or , if people would rather change it them self that is also fine.
Q : How many people experience the missing water ripple ?
A : 5 people reported playing the mission, one reported the missing water ripple. Other 4 can see the ripple just fine. No report other than those 5.

Posted Aug 31, 2019Mission Update
08 - Gate to Eternity
Almost complete, but then I remember there is this one cool kerrigan model by IDW that I always wanted to use but never got the chance to use it.
I will make minor adjustment to the map to add subtle way use of the model.

Posted Apr 19, 2019just started the campaign and couldn't kill Najka after many tries, I must say that took the fun out of it so I won't continue. thanks for your efforts anyway. I know it is a reference to dark souls and I personally love the series and have finished it many many times, but this is not the same, not like one can learn from failures, there just isn't enough hp.

Posted Apr 19, 2019In reply to greybilind:
I put the tips for abilities, and made smaller encounter before the boss so player could familiarize themself with the heroes, how much HP they have, what are their abilities etc.
You have a medic with you that can heal your team's HP. Plentiful mineral pickups for that Medic to heal herself. A tank that can soak the damage for your team. And a damage dealer with lots of HP that can semi tank.
Having all that, logically and theoretically player should be able to defeat the tutorial boss with relatively minor difficulty [3 - 4 retry].
About don't want to continue, not learning from failure, not enough HP.
All I can say I respect your choice.
But perhaps instead of immediately starting the game on Hard you could try playing on Easy and work your way up from there ?

Posted Apr 11, 2019I've been thinking to make a facebook page for HoD just like I did for Automata.
But considering more people leave feed back on discord compare on facebook I might make a Hammer of Dawn feedback channel on discord.

Posted Apr 11, 2019Received feedback via private message on discord (messages actually). that the game is now too easy, and does not suit the sword and the bonfire 😅.
Also received a feedback to make tips for heroes abilities.
And last a feedback to make the game speed default set on fastest.
Well, the tips not that hard to do.
I dunno about game speed, I prefer to give player opportunity to play the game at their own pace.
As for difficulty, I will see what can be done about that.
