Developer jambell Posted June 26, 2024 Developer Share Posted June 26, 2024 Hello! Today we are opening the Beta for our new hunt: Bonechill Quarry. In this new location, you'll find all sorts of new content: a new boss, miniboss, enemies, equipment, decor items, powers and more. Some things are still receiving finishing touches and so as usual, content is subject to change over the course of the beta period! We will be keeping an eye on community discussion and reading all of your F8s, so please keep the helpful feedback flowing! Please read below for a note about what our intention is with this Hunt, and for a bit more information about what we are working on in addition to new Hunts. A note about the beta and the content contained within As with all Early Access games, Rotwood is a work in progress. At the present time, it is much easier to progress through this update than it will be at full release due to systems that have yet to be implemented. Some updates during Early Access will feel more(or less) challenging due to systems that interact with each other not being yet fully available. Since the game is currently in active development, there are going to be some adjustments and experimentation. We have previously made some changes to the Early Access launch version of the game that has placed us in an "Easy" phase after we tuned the game to better onboard new players. We have a much better experience for players now that we have a smoother ramp into more difficult challenges. This update is not fully representative of what a "Hunt" is in Rotwood. While the this update does widen the game in terms of content by providing more things to do and more things to get, it does not yet deepen the game by providing further progression systems. This means, that those of you that are in the later parts of the current will not quite feel the challenge that this hunt will later provide. However this update also represents the beginning of the second half of the game which will later bring a new system that is not currently part of this beta. This new system will deepen progression further while bringing greater challenges and greater rewards. We also want you to be aware that right now, the "grind" element of the game is being over represented for the reasons discussed above. We definitely want a grind element in the game for people who enjoy that content although it is not intended to be the focus of Rotwood and certainly not in the early game. The goal is to have progression and reward systems around a core game that you enjoy playing coupled with deeper long term elements that people can choose to take part in if they want to keep playing and further refine their builds. If you feel that you MUST grind a specific piece of gear in order to play the game, it's because we're not quite there yet. We have rearranged our update plans to offer players a better experience throughout Early Access while not all content and features are available yet. We'll soon be providing a roadmap that will better outline for you what you can expect from future updates; however, we want to wait to release this information until we have everything in place in that we believe is required to better illustrate what we are aiming to do with the game. One final point. We should note, that weapons are intended to feel great for people that enjoy what any given weapon has to offer. We intend for each weapon type to be equally effective, however we do not intend for players to be equally effective with every weapon. Each weapon type should be viable throughout the game, and we are not designing each weapon to appeal to all players. That being said. Thank you to everybody that have been sending in bug reports and feedback. You're truly helping us shape the game toward something great and we're very excited to show you what we have in store for you. How to play Close Rotwood if it is running. In Steam, click on Library > Games. Scroll down to Rotwood. Right click, select Properties. Go to the Betas tab. In the dropdown, select the 'publicbeta' branch. (You may need to restart Steam to see this branch) In that same properties window, go to the Installed Files tab. Click Verify integrity of game files. Your game will now be updated to the beta branch. Save files The beta branch uses a completely separate save file, due to its experimental nature. The beta branch is to gather feedback and ensure stability before release to the live game. If you were to copy over your existing savefile, it would work, but it is strongly recommended to store a backup of your save file if you did so. We are not treating this branch as a live branch, so we will not be taking extra precautions to support moving your save file back to the live branch.

Kukunamuniu Posted June 29, 2024 Share Posted June 29, 2024 Hey there! So I've put in a considerable amount of time into the beta so I've decided to compile my impressions: As a general gist I love the new area, its atmosphere, its gimmick, the enemies, the boss fight, look of things, and the changes to interface elements. There is a lot to enjoy as it currently stands and I'm looking forward to the full release. I’ve decided to compile my thoughts on the implemented armors, weapons and enemies, to review what I like and what I hope gets revised. Spoiler Armors: The Arctic Stunk armor (as silly of a name that is) is excellent and should be kept as is. Very cool to see armor pieces that pair extremely well with cannon usage (freezing for safe mortar shots and speed for repositioning).The chest is very helpful with your first visits, but I never felt completely forced to use it. I am not the biggest fan of on-damage mechanics so the Meowl set doesn't appeal that much to me. I don't know who would ever choose 60% more crit damage when hurt over 50% more crit damage in regular circumstances. I'm down for more-extreme-stat-when-condition-is-met type gear any day (especially that it can really spice up power selection) but I feel there should be an adequate range of matching gear that can accommodate it. Currently such stats would be useful with 1. Yammo weapons and 2. if you have shield (not guaranteed currently). I'd be wayy more fond of this set if the bulbug set had potential to give the player shield in almost every clearing, as then there would be multiple cases where it just makes sense to use that armor. (While likely a bug) It pains to say, but the most disappointing set, however, is the torchfly set. The one and only issue with the torchfly goggles is that the game will remove the spinners for seemingly ANY reason: dodging twice, taking damage, even ATTACKING (that seems unintended). This makes them extremely unwieldy and never worth the effort to use. The changes it likely needs: 1) you can have multiple spinners at once and 2) the only way a spinner disappears early is if you take damage. Given that spinners are an extension of one's hitstreak I think that's the only case where losing it makes sense. The insane power of having 4+ spinners going off at once will always be balanced by the fact that you need to do substantial damage first to recieve such power. The Torchfly chest has a fun sounding stat of crit chance per second per enemy. I wish there was some way for me to keep track of it, as is with crit chance from powers. Also i am completely in the blue about the stat's decay. As the stat currently is phrased I would assume that if I hug an enemy for 25 seconds i get 100% crit chance for the rest of the clearing. The legs just give conditional 20% resistance on dodge recovery, I'm not sure why anyone would ever use that over 40% resistance when not attacking. I would like to see a different stat all together. In fact I would love if the entire torchfly set was hitstreak-based. A general thing i do find odd is that we so far only have 1 armor piece that interacts with the cold mechanic in any way. I remember people complained that the molded grave had wayy too many armor pieces centered around acid negation at the cost of having cool armor useful all the time. With Bonechill I feel we have the opposite effect taking place. There are so few armors and weapons that interact with freezing to where freezing feels like straightforward threat. With acid there wasn't one trivial way to go about negating its damage. Yammo weapons, Ballmerang with its Dribble, Wollusk Helm and Snortise pants were all interesting choices that let you helped negating (or even harnessing!) acid damage in a different way. Only the snortise helm and the purpose-lacking gloop set were extra acid-themed fluff that didn't add much. I would love to see more pieces that interact with cold and freezing in unique ways. For example a reworked torchfly piece that is something like When your hitstreak is greater than X, emit heat (and provide some health regeneration?) in a small radius Spoiler Weapons: The Jackalope is the weapon I've been using the most, and honestly it's kinda overpowered in its current state. The number of full-damage striker hits it allows you to get in quick succession by either bouncing it between a wall and an enemy or inside a large enemy sometimes is ridiculous. That being said the weapon is still very enjoyable and it fixes the gripe non-striker fans had with the tempo of the thrown balls. Because they tend to attack faster than you can juggle 2 so I found myself often playing with just 1 striker and forgetting where the second one is because my damage was sufficient, and i never felt slowed down, as I would if I played using 1 regular striker. Carrying 2 strikers was only useful when doing immense cheesy wall-bouncing damage or when juggling from very far. For the sake of this striker not overshadowing all the other ones, I think a nerf where you only carry 1 jackalope striker would be well-justified and could allow for some interesting skill in place of the then-defunct horizontal recall. I don't have as much to say about the new hammer or spear at the moment other than they feel pretty basic. But I wouldn’t say they are bad. An issue I've seen with hammer in general is that it's notably harder to hit to amass large hitstreaks compared to other weapons. Obviously it's by design, but it makes it feel hindered when it comes to hitstreak powers or even doing the 5 hits needed to reactivate a frozen brazer. Hopefully a revised torchfly hat will help in making the damage output easier! Spoiler Enemies: I am a bit disappointed to see the elite snortise get its attacks trivialized, to the point they feel no different from fighting a regular snortise. I think all elites should have a one-up mechanic that drastically changes how you approach fighting them, and the current version feels no different from fighting regulars. While they were the source of ending many newbie runs, they still should pose a decent threat. 3 jumps without side acid or 2 jumps with side acid would be a more reasonable nerf. Otherwise, I do hope we get to see its previous version again soon. Most enemies in the Bonechill Quarry are fun and enjoyable to fight, but I've seen the elite meowl getting on many people's nerves in terms of how easy it is to enrage and how difficult its enraged form is to dodge. I personally love the idea of an enemy you absolutely shouldn't attack, but in their current state they can be one-man run-enders. 3 changes I would like to see are: When the last enemy type remaining, meowls wake up/don't sleep (much like Zuccos don't hide nor set traps) Add a window between the first two charges long enough to complete a shotgun dodge and do a perfect-reload without getting hit. Make them entering the enrage state more forgiving (2 hits instead of 1) when the player is far away/they aren't hissing. Shock, Big Stick, Thin the Herd, Striker Recall and shotgun pellets while dodging are all annoying sources of accidental enrages. I really have enjoyed the beta so far and I hope my feedback was useful at least a little!

Gunhaver Posted June 29, 2024 Share Posted June 29, 2024 Thanks for all your hard work! A gameplay note. I'm having a hard time grasping when someone would want to change their weight class mid-run via an RNG power and why it warrants 3 (IMO) useless powerups that now appear in my runs and effectively take away one of my choices for a power-up. I will never use these; I build around being nimble. I mean I can understand someone making a cool heavy build that uses this, but they would be depending on luck that they would get the right weight class that would trigger their plan.

I'm having a hard time grasping when someone would want to change their weight class mid-run via an RNG power and why it warrants 3 (IMO) useless powerups that now appear in my runs and effectively take away one of my choices for a power-up. I will never use these; I build around being nimble. I mean I can understand someone making a cool heavy build that uses this, but they would be depending on luck that they would get the right weight class that would trigger their plan. The "reroll" mechanic addresses my concerns completely! Thanks Devs!

brolo Posted July 23, 2024 Share Posted July 23, 2024 Oh hey, I played a bunch of Rotwood via Steam -- last month I saw the post about the new powers and upcoming beta, but there doesn't seem to be a post on Steam about it yet, so I figured it was delayed. Turns out it's been live for several weeks, I just had to look here to track it down. Started playing a bit last night, ran into Nimble and then couldn't figure out what to do once his first challenge was complete - looks like that just got fixed!
