Interlude Patch: Flip The Script

8 月 6 日

Welcome back, Scribes! It's time for a flippin' new spell!

This update includes Unfold: a new Movement Spell, New Maps, A Tutorial Kit adjustment, and some light fixes!

We also shout out the new Community Mod Library - hardworking Scribes making their mark on the game! Check out the highlights below and keep an eye on the Roadmap in Vellum's main menu as we go.

New Movement Spell - Unfold

Mental gymnastics? Watch this!

Keep an eye on your foes as you soar backwards through the air with Unfold!

This acrobatic Movement Spell flings you out of danger, granting a brief moment of invulnerability, and offers many pages to build more style into your aerial feats!

Drop deadly mines, craft a winning floor routine, and perform some high-damage trick shots to style on your foes!

New Maps

Roots and shoots and roads...

Venture to fresh combat arenas: Sequoia and Outlook! Fight beneath the tall trees, making use of long-range cover for a forest fight to be remembered.

In Outlook, weave between pillars of an ancient structure - where do these old roads lead? Battle the Torn in a time-worn relic of elsewhere!

Spend Early, Spend Often - Tutorial Spell Changes

Note: This will unlock Callback for all Scribes, while re-locking Swoop!

We're making some initial changes to the new player experience with adjustments to the Tutorial Chapter!

The order of some elements has changed to give Scribes more time to understand the Signature Ink choice they make. Additionally, we're making Callback the new default Spender Spell!

This gives new Scribes a more versatile starting spell set to take into their first Of Scribes and Torn run - Callback's area damage capabilities are a smoother compliment to Jot!

Community - Mods and More!

Just a bit of tINKering...

There has been some awesome community work on Mods for Vellum! Pet the Inkling, pack more decoration into your Reading Nook, and more creative additions await!

You can find these mods in the Discord Community Mods Library - a special thanks to the authors for your excitement and sharing your work!

Epilogue

The quiet calm of a book club!

Keep an eye out for Vellum in the Yogscast Small Teams fest currently on Steam! In other news, we're gearing up for the next Major Chapter - more info to come, with plenty to read.

Thank you to our testers, everyone in the discord, our newest mod-makers, and Scribes of all Ink Levels!

Give us the white ink and cape that was in preview for 1.0 release.

And a wizard's hat with a brim. Actually, that's all. This game already has little potential, and the fact that it is limited to only one type of robe and retextures/overlays/recolors for it reduces the customization potential to values close to zero.

Endgame Question for RED Ink

I have the issue that I can´t even do the first boss on normal with red ink. I completed all 3 raids on normal with ALL other inks, but still can´t even beat the first one in the first raid with red...?! Sure, I could do it with time, but I don´t want to "waste" 15 minutes just for the FIRST boss. Anyone got some suggestions? I really want those red wings :(...

help verse is beating me with a lead pipe

i swear he is impossible, myriad was tough, but fair, verse just decides you lose. jot seems like practically a guaranteed hit, ive never found a consistent dodge for it, callback has a gargantuan hitbox, shockwave hitbox seems to be random weather or not it lines up with the visual, and he takes so little damage ive yet to see him reach 3/4 of his health. i am on my hands and knees begging for tips on this bastard. for refrence this is my build: red ink, enkindle, spoil, ghostwrite. worked perfect for m...

Very good learning curve. Feels rewarding to understand game mechanics. Amazing style. Interesting progression system with no micro transaction. Only downside is the absence of wiki. Will most likely sink another 30-40 hours into it this week.

Interlude Patch: "Spoilers"

7 月 11 日

Welcome back, Scribes! With 1.1: Beyond now behind us, we look to new waters - beginning with a fresh new spell!

-- Interlude Patch: "Spoilers" ahead... --

This update includes Spoil: a new Spender Spell, Visual Intensity Settings, Raid-Specific Spell Tuning, and several bug fixes, minor adjustments! Keep an eye out for some snazzy new Nook Items, too!

Check out the highlights below and, as always, you can track our journey from the Roadmap in Vellum's main menu. We also discuss our continuing Vellum plans at the end of this post!

New Spender Spell - Spoil

How 'bout them apples?

Brand new to the spellbook, Scribes get to live a fresh, ripe, totally-not-rotten fairytale fantasy with Spoil!

"Offer" your foes a scrumptious bite of a Spoiled Apple and watch as they share their positive reviews with nearby pals! These Apples are tasty, healthy, and only get better with a hefty helping of Pages of Power!

Aim true while flinging bushel after bushel of this sticky, explosive 1-Cost Spender... and find out just how hungry the Torn really are.

Visual Intensity Settings

Details and details and details!

We're introducing Visual Intensity Settings based on your feedback! These new options allow you to further customize your experience for increased performance and legibility both solo and in multiplayer.

In pursuit of these changes, our VFX system has had performance improvements across the board (even without using these new settings!).

Player spells and effects now have a Reduced and Minimal VFX setting.

Enemy abilities and effects now have a Reduced and Minimal VFX setting.

There are a lot of visuals in Vellum - please let us know how your experience with these new settings goes!

Raid-Specific Spell Tuning and Balance

The flexible spellcraft of Scribes is a complex curriculum. Time to teach the Torn Lords a lesson or two.

With the rise of the Torn Lords, we've found (with the help of plenty of feedback!) the disparity between spell damage across the different loadout options in Raids is larger than we'd like!

The lower number of pages available in Raids combined with the Boss/Single-Target heavy encounter profiles, has resulted in some spells falling behind in power/excitement. With Interlude Patch: Spoilers, we're pumping up the damage output of several spells when damaging Raid Bosses only.

Foil, Punctuate, Enkindle, Quip, Blossom, Wordsmith, and Passage will now deal 20 - 66% increased damage to Raid Bosses (details in the patch notes below). Let us know how these feel!

Epilogue

Finding a cozy nook in the Illuminated Library to keep reading!

With The Grey Area, The Forgery, and Yonder now complete along with the Early Access journey - we're going to be adjusting our cadence of content! We're incredibly proud of the speed, quality, and quantity of Vellum's Major Chapters and Interlude Patches thus far... especially when we're operating as such a small team (if you're active in the Discord[discord.gg] - you've likely heard from all of us directly by this point!)

Since EA launch, we typically added new content about every two weeks, alternating between Interludes and Major Chapters. Of course, some updates had adjusted timings for major life events and bigger-scope items (especially as the Library Update, Raids, and 1.0 approached).

As a small team, we'll remain incredibly flexible (today's patch includes feedback from this morning - we love this!), but we'll be targeting a few more weeks between updates and more Interludes between Major Chapters. This new pace lets us stay reactive to feedback, continue to chase cool ideas, and gives us more time to plan what comes next!

Thank you for playing Vellum and joining us as the literary journey continues to unfold! Go read a book!
